There is one on the list that is "the long con of Britishness", not sure how the rest can be seen as "anti British".

"Why I'm utterly sick of going for a walk" strikes at British culture in a very particularly Guardianish way. Then we have a class diatribe and a Brexit moan. I'll give you the marmalade.

The walk thing I just found amusing, my parents loved walking but I hated it as a kid, came to appreciate it more.

Then in the lockdown with a small child, with one nice walk nearby, walking it again and again it goes so boring - it resonated as something funny, it seems like people are looking for things to be offended by?

It's also funny as Guardian readers are right in the "going for a walk" demographic - it's poking fun at themselves.

Given that Brexit is by any objective measure an act purely of destruction, born of fear and selfishness, I think a moan might be justified.

I fear that your objective judgements may be biased.
