The British media (other than the ''Daily Mail'') is liberal, but likes to poke fun of Americans and thus is more candidly critical of American liberals than the American media is.
Until the 1960s the word "English" was commonly used instead of "British." This annoyed the Scots and Irish so much that "English" is today more narrowly confined to the language and to the country of England (which comprises most of the British population).

British settlements and dependencies—usually called "colonies"—were established all over the world. There was never any doubt that the British were the rulers and the locals were mere subjects.
