• This is interesting because the British are world leaders

    Beware of Swedes saying this. They have a strange anglo-positive world view that thinks we're as competent as a romantic view of the Victorians.

    Indeed. This is why I included the quote, as the massive alarm bell it is. The same goes for any determiner attached to "pool of experts" or similar. Sorry if I keep banging on about this, but I do think it is important.

    Edit: There´s a virulent strain of anglophilia ripping through the population on the other side of the Gulf of Bothnia too. Our (Finland´s) telly is full of British programming and even otherwise hardened journalists gush whenever any of you lot gives an interview in RP.

    Edit 2: For anybody wishing to have copious coitus after a night out in Finland and Sweden, just do a Hitchens/Mirren impression as applicable. What with Game of Thrones, a Bean/Whittaker impression would likely result in similar levels of shaggery.
