Ignorance
"I was watching Richard Osman's House of Games last evening and in the 'Where is Kazakhstan' round only Dr. Alice Roberts of the four contestants knew that the Roman capital of Camulodunum was a pre-cursor to Colchester. Come on, how ignorant is that. There was also a black female athlete on there who seemed to take great pride in not knowing where anything is on a map of the UK, including London where she seemed to be from. Thick idiot! The modern mentality of taking pride in ignorance is really pathetic. Country, dogs, etc."
