What's the British take on the Revolutionary war?

History is written by the victor. But, there's always two sides to any story. Anywho', ive been playing Empire Total war tell the wee hours in the morning, playing the US campaign. It starts as a tutorial with cut scenes and ends in a grand campaign to play. The cut scenes, are a little flowery to say the least:

I know red white and blue BS when i see it, and that definitely qualifies. True its the classic story, but it's also very simplistic, and totally glosses over "minor" things we don't like to admit to, one example being the treatment of indian's. At any rate, i'm not looking for a detailed analysis, just wondering what the average brit's take on this portion of history is, because i'm pretty certain, its not anything like those flowery cut scenes.

(Hopefully this won't turn into a rhetorical mud slinging match by the local politico's

.)
