I cant say I really agree with your list purely because those things are universal and dont really make the UK or indeed anywhere crap. Some of them are also a bit iffy and inaccurate ;)

Blimey, anyone been to Homestead in Florida? We booked into a Motel and woke up in the morning to find the whole place circled by barbed wire topped mesh fence. That was one of the better ones :)

I hardly think most Americans see mass murder as "normal". When you say things like this it only makes the axe your grinding seem ridiculous.

Some of the things on the What makes Britain crap list do seem to point that way unfortunately especially the bizarre idea that the Poles commit most crimes.

Our poles are pretty well behaved in Australia, but our posts can't be trusted. As for our fences - don't even go there.

Yes exactly what I said earlier, it cant make Britain crap as it applies equally all over the world and even taking that into account those things dont make Britain crap at all.

At the end of the day, we all know this stuff, and you take the good with the bad. You look through all that to something deeper, a sense of belonging. I was still there 18 months ago, and I don't believe it will have changed much in that short time.
