I have deleted this section on the grounds that all of the information provided was not only unsourced, but also because it did not seem to fit in with Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy. Unless anyone can prove me wrong, then by all means post it back up, but only if it is appropriately referenced. --Crablogger (talk) 05:24, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

LOL
This article is, to use a British term, a "load of bollocks" and was obviously written by a Briton. Funny how it has a huge "BRITISH PEOPLE ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST!!!!!" notice at the top-right corner of the page. No, anti-British sentiment is not discrimination. The British are not an oppressed people and never have been. Rather, they have usually been the oppressors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hjandifkgk (talk • contribs) 01:21, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * This article does not seek to argue whether or not the British are "oppressed" or "oppressors" - it simply records examples of anti-British sentiment, as part of a much more wide-ranging group of articles here on discrimination. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:37, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

But I was told they were forced by the EU to use the euro, the metre, the kg and even divide the minute in 60 seconds. If that is not a cultural genocide, I don't know what could be called so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.49.35.74 (talk) 20:44, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Pom
However it should be noted that a vast majority of British nationals[who?] do not find the term "Pom" offensive, and often consider it as an insult used in jest with no real malice behind the expression.[citation needed] Likewise, many British nationals[who?] refer (again, in jest) to the Australian and New Zealand peoples as "Aussies" and "Kiwis" respectively, with no malice intended

Who says this? Where are these figures? This is a load of bollox. It might be the case that a recently arrived British immigrant in their complete ignorance of the term and the history surrounding it mightn't have an issue with it, but that's probably it. As for Aussie and Kiwi, Aussie is short for Australian and Kiwi is a bird, and both terms were given to these people by themselves and are embraced by them for the rest of the world to use. There is no correlation with 'pom'. This entry is not fact, and if there is no support given, I shall remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.27.183.57 (talk) 11:40, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

More information on India needed
In India, the summary for anti-British sentiment requires expansion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.20.236.125 (talk) 01:21, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Consider...
Adding South Africa? At least from the colonial/Anglo-Boer war to the end of the Apartheid era? As well as there being any NEW Anti-British sentiment since 1994? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samusfan80 (talk • contribs) 02:35, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Anyone may add to this article if the text is both notable and accompanied by reliably sourced references. If you are unsure how to do this please suggest any changes here. Best, Daicaregos (talk) 06:53, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Spain abandoning what?
"Spain was considering withdrawing from NATO and forging an anti-British, anti-American, anti-NATO alliance with Argentina, adopting its strategy over the Falkland Islands"

I haven't heard about any spexit from any organization nowhere but here. I'm not sure the Daily Telegraph is a reliable source either. If nobody disagrees I will take that line off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.45.156.61 (talk) 23:17, 10 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Though the Telegraph is generally considered a reliable source, the claims in the text here did not match those in the cited article - which does not mention NATO. So, I've removed those claims and also added a tag to the unsourced preceding sentence.  It is questionable, at least, whether there is sufficient justification for including the Spain section at all.   Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:43, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
