I think it’s only unfair for people who aren’t nationalists.
Those who think they’re important because they hail from an important country, on the other hand, deserve the bad along with the perceived good. Sadly in my experience Britain is thick with nationalism, heavilly promoted even by the slant of international news on TV (were Britain’s importance to the rest is always exagerated), much more than other countries I lived in.
IMHO, Brexit was powered by that excessive nationalism and even the Remain side displayed a heavilly nationalist streak (I remember the “we should stay and change the EU from the inside” argument, implying that 50 million Britons should lead the other 470 million in the EU) so it’s only fair if others reciprocate.
Personally I think most Britons deserve it, though definitelly not all.
Ugh, it sucks to be taken revenge on for things that you literally weren’t even around for to be able to stop.
