This sentence paraphrases George Orwell in his essay The Lion and the Unicorn, written in London during the Blitz and published in 1941:

"The gentleness of the English civilization is perhaps its most marked characteristic. You notice it the instant you set foot on English soil. It is a land where the bus conductors are good-tempered and the policemen carry no revolvers."
