Now whats your personal fault in this? As I said before, generalizing is wrong. However the UK is a democratic country, and theoretically at least, the actions of their government should reflect the beliefs of the majority of the British people. Therefore while not every single British person is to be blamed, collectively the British people, who support such kind of governments that are so hostile against us, can not be totally excused from all responsibility. (unless of course you claim that democracy is only theoretical in the UK)
Surely when you vote for a particular political party you vote for the whole package in their manifesto; not for specific parts of it. Whether you agree or disagree; people are normally concerned with Tax, Health, Education and other things that affect their daily lives; foreign policy is not near the top of their “concerns” list. Like most people I’ve never read a manifesto of any of the political parties in the UK; I gathered my information from the media and then decided who to vote for. I’m sure you don’t agree with everything your government does in your name but by your reasoning you must be held collectively responsible for what you disagree with as well.
I personally, totally disagree with the British Governments position on the Cyprus problem. I disagreed with Iraq and did sign petitions against it as did many millions of British. Most people in the UK do sympathise with the situation in Cyprus and would like to see a fair and just settlement though again it is not a major concern in their everyday lives just like the everyday problems in the UK are not a major concern for you.
