Don't forget the Mail's Nazi appeasing history if Britishness is going to be invoked.
Also, I couldn't help wondering if the Mail would be retrospectively labeling, for example, Orwell Anti-British as well, if their criteria seems to be a criticism of 'British' institutions. For my money, the questioning, free-thinking tradition is something much more culturally significant and worthy of praise, 'British' or otherwise than oligarchy whose only allegiance is their own money. WWII-era or now.
