On the history side all nations have done wrong, we certainly were not the first nation to invade people, take slaves or get involved in wars - if you look up the good things Britain gave to the world it outweighs the bad. N. |

1) The fact that we as a nation still broadly support the NHS and are happy to be taxed for it (but nothing else of course) 2) The ability to drink 8 pints (standing up of course) and still eat a curry afterwards 3) When the sun comes out so do the women 4) British humor is the sharpest and most intelligent in the world 5) Divide and conquer - only we know how to do this properly. Bottom: 1) The bloody whining 2) The media and the fact that people watch TV 5 hours a day 3) 'Elf and Safety and the nanny state |
