The British don't iike people who are successful

Much has been said about Tom Daley, the olympic swimmer, who was forced to change schools after the constant bullying he received at his local school.

According to Tom Daley, the problem doesn't lie with the bullies, but with the comprehensive school system:
"...According to this dogma, no one must be allowed to succeed unless that success is shared equally by all. Because all must win prizes, none must win prizes. Tall poppies will be culled..."
Unfortunately, our comprehensive school system is just part of a deeper malaise. The British simply don't like people who are successful. Why do you think so many Brits emigrate to Australia, Canada and the States?
