Just Your Average Case of Conceited Superiority

We can help out there, it would be the humanitarian thing to do.
Well, of course you are right but one thing left out of your thoughts have you?
I don’t see what I’ve left out, perhaps you can elaborate?
It’s as clear as the nose on your face, but you still just don’t get it mate!
Get what? Why can’t we help these poor foreigners in their plight of need? What is there that stops us, some conceited superiority? 

Mmmm! You’re nearly there mate!

What is I cannot see?

We’re ENGLISH mate, you and me.
