Almost without exception, such 'patriots' loathe everything that actually makes Britain a great country and long for a smaller country, with narrower horizons, and a meaner future, based on a version of the past that never existed.

Surely 'passed away' rather than just 'passed' is the standard British euphemism, and 'passed' is a recent Americanism (our language has gotten a lot more Americanized in recent years)? I would like to be able to say "he took his exam today and he passed" without people thinking "Oh, that's so sad!"
