Britain has some of the worst printed media in the world (the infamous “The Sun” tabloid is a national embarrassment IMO) but if sleazy journalists and dumbass newspapers are the price of freedom of expression then it’s a small price I think. When you look at the degree of self criticism and political accountability in countries like the UK, USA, France, Germany, Australia etc. and then look at some of the state controlled media it’s a shocking comparison. Then it’s hardly surprising we see so much xenophobia, racism and nationalist rhetoric. Sad really.

Gouvernement sponsored racism I would say.

Can’t see the point of all the Japan bashing on this forum, let’s be honest, every country on earth has acted like a c*nt at some time and historical grudge bearing is pointless.
Sure, but it’s more fun to criticise someone else than look at your own problems……
