Hello, everyone. Our question today is from Lace1 Sun. It’s a very simple question: are British people conservative2? I think the stereotype3 of British people in many countries is that we’re a conservative nation. Well, let’s find out what British people think of themselves. The word conservative means that English people in general tend to be very conservative in their views. It’s only certain issues which, in other countries, would get people’s blood boiling, but it takes a lot for English people to really get annoyed about it, so I think in general we are a very conservative nation. English people, in general, tend to be very conservative in their views.So Andy thinks that because it takes a lot for English people to get annoyed, the British are a conservative nation. I would say that's quite a broad generalisation. But I'd say in London no, outside London probably more so yes. Generally you can be quite reserved, but when you get to know them, they can be very nice warm people. Steve thinks that to say all British people are conservative would be quite a broad generalisation. He would say in London, people are not very conservative, but outside London it may be more so.
