The arrogance thing comes with the way the nation presents itself.
For example - in this country, we have had a Prevention of Terrorism Act for many years.
In your country you have a PATRIOT Act.
We have the Disability Discrimination Act.
You have the Americans With Disabilities Act.
At a sporting event, the english will sing "God Save The Queen" or "Jerusalem" - you chant "You Ess Ay" over and over again.
We know you're richer than the rest of us. We know you've a bigger military than the rest of us, but it really pisses the rest of the world off that your nation (which don't get me wrong has many many redeeming features and many great people in) as a whole seems to try to tell the rest of the world how to do stuff.
At least when my country tried to tell the rest of the world how to do stuff, we actually were running 1/4 of the planet.

The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
