I needed to hear that, the lockdowns made me feel otherwise, till I saw people training for civil disobedience and then thousands of NHS staff held out against the drug mandates resulting in the collapse of the Vax passport bollocks. I've been feeling a bit negative about my fellow Brits recently.
You're right as well, though the history of saying FU to authority goes back further than the Normans who had to hide behind their castle walls, even the famous vikings knew they had to integrate or they'd be kicked out.
