LONDON (AFP) - Britons are losing their grip on reality, according to a poll out Monday which showed that nearly a quarter think Winston Churchill was a myth while the majority reckon Sherlock Holmes was real.

04 February 2008, 04:03 UTC#3
I think its about equal, depending on which area of the country you ask questions to.
Thats ridiculous though.

Dumb tea drinking fucks.

What were the stats about Americans that don't believe in evolution? Something like 45%? Please, this is nothing when compared to that staggering number.
04 February 2008, 05:44 UTC#7
that is true.
04 February 2008, 05:48 UTC#8
Yeah, but I guess it is comforting to finally see some indication that we're not the only nation with a significant population of idiots.

I feel embarrassed. It's cos our education system has gone down the pan.

The countries gone down the pan.
Still, atleast we aint fat dumb cowboys.

It was probably a poll asked to primary school children, let's be honest.
04 February 2008, 08:28 UTC#12
I bet this survey was taken up North
04 February 2008, 08:56 UTC#13
its all these fucking Pakis. Take our jobs, rape our women, steal our intelligence
04 February 2008, 09:05 UTC#14
To be fair I'd say nearly a quarter of our population are stupid bastard muslims.

I think it's around 50% of Americans believing in creationism and 90% believing in God and/or life after death.
I think it's the same wherever you go, though...people are dumb fucks in England, America, France or wherever.
Except Japan though. Fuck me, those cunts are sharp.

I disagree. In the classic "Godzilla Vs. King Kong" the Japanese scientists were smart enough to figure out that King Kong is powered by electricity; thus leading to his being struck by lightning and gaining the strength to defeat Godzilla and save Tokyo.
Just goes to show.
04 February 2008, 09:45 UTC#19
That's just another monkey-related 'bailing out' on the part of the Japanese.
They'd be fucked otherwise.

London had a white British population of 59.6 percent at the 2001 census, some areas such as Newham are 30% white British or less and this figure is likely to be even more shocking with the recent wave of immigration between 2001 and 2008. London is a city full of foreigners from around the world, just because someone is a "Briton" does not make them English or a native indigenous or not of the British isles.
Therefore, this statistic is flawed.

amen to that
I swear I can walk down the road and hear at least 7 different languages within the first five steps, the industrial area near my house is populated by polish and asians, there are romanian refugees begging on the town centre streets, africans are moving in on a near daily basis, the turkish have the fast food market prtty much covered in my town (exception being mcdonalds), there isnt one white face in kfc.. the country is doomed to oblivion
those statisics will change even more soon, we are getting invaded from the inside out and this is something that nearly 70 years ago our grandfathers/great grandfathers fought to stop.. the germans had the decency to say they would try and invade us to which war was started, and many britons lost their lives to stop it.. it seems that now we just dont care and let all kinds of fucktards in

Same shit here, I live in Newham and I tell you that the British are quite the ethnic minority here.

Couldn't agree more man, think that often when I see the state some urban areas of this country are becoming.
04 February 2008, 14:25 UTC#25
It's becoming politially incorrect to not let foreigners mooch off of our nation. Hitler was on the right lines.

At least Maddie won't grow up to see the country turn so shitty. There's comfort in that.

He is a myth aint he? And Sherlock was my great grandad.
04 February 2008, 15:23 UTC#30
I bet what happened is they went up to random people in the street and asked "And what, good sir, is your opinion on Sir Winston Churchill?"
To which every British patriot replies "He's a fuckin' legend mate!"
You can see the source of the misunderstanding.
