British dislike blood and gore?
I dont THINK so.
Evidence:
Manchester Guardian descriptions of torture ... always the most loving and

Dog Leash dramas
Descriptions of torture in the first series of Elizabeth R.
The british are much better at stimulating the mind with horric images than
the Americans.
