The British have not lost a war for a very long time. The British elite have never had to confront their belief in eugenics in the way the German elite had to. They have not had to address the failures of their prestigious selective private schools, schools of the kind that are rare in the large majority of more equitable affluent countries worldwide. The British have inadvertently chosen to learn about themselves through the process of Brexit. It is a better way to learn than going to war.
