For some reason the british people are really proud of Silverstone loving idiotic turns and corners names. Brexit nationalism perhaps?

Now that Brexit has happened there will soon no longer be a Britain so we will have to start referring to all the subnationalities therein by their individual names. This may be problematic to outside discourse as some of them might not deserve ire as the English do. I await further developments to ascertain these facts.

Doing a Google search for "why silverstone is crap", as you do, as well as a TripAdvisor review that boiled down to "I don't know why anyone would dislike this place, I had a great time (also some animal smeared their own poo poo all over the inside of the toilet cubicle including on the door handle)", I found this bit of prime Silverstone wankery:

some dork at The Guardian posted:

And the circuit certainly has history on its side. Of the 33 drivers who have held the drivers’ title, 19 have won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, starting with Nino Farina, the first champion, in 1950.

Holy poo poo! You say almost two-thirds of the WDCs have won at one particular track in the 70 years it's been on the calendar? That's nearly as impressive as the 20 WDCs who won at Monza in the same period!

I think they're 'romancing' the importance of Silverstone as a GP venue, not what the airfield it is built upon was used for. But please do call me out if I missed Crofty knocking one off to the bombing of Dresden or something.

Yeah I mean there's people out there who do things like multiply the death toll by 10x as a way of both-sidesing the holocaust (claiming the city was absolutely packed beyond any logical or physical limits with refugees from cities eastward fleeing the advancing red army) but even on the most conservative reading of facts the firebombing was in fact Not Good.

Like there's communication among the allied brass where dudes are like "uh guys dresden is a pretty major conduit for civilians fleeing the eastern front maybe we should reconsider how strategic this bombing really is" and the response is some seriously joker poo poo like "you say that as though it were a bad thing, chaos is what we want"
