I have never been to Scotland or Northern Ireland but I would love to go!

I think Wales, Scotland and Nortern Ireland are fine though. It's just that England is getting more densley populated and we can't fit everyone in.

Looks like we need to use more derelict land for caravans. Gypsies seem to have common sense. We need a load of caravans nowadays to fit everyone in!

The trouble as i see it with Britain is not what we have got, because imo that is second to none, but we seem to be losing it, or selling it or downsizing it, privatizing it.

It's been happening for years.

Premiere League is.nt really British because so many of the clubs are foreign owned

NHS can't be afforded so it's changing and not for the better judging the current plans.

So much of the things we are giving away won't be gained back which is why i say

Im Proud of Britain today, but the Britain of Tomorrow is any ones guess.

Exactly. We are losing our identity too fast and honestly it feels as if we are now reliant upon every other nation.

No offence, but I have to half agree with that. A lot of youngsters seem to be so fixated on reality TV, becoming famous (without any actual real talent), the newest gadgets, yet give them a simple every day task and they struggle and have no actual grasp of actually doing stuff or thinking about how to solve it. Obviously not all as some of the youngsters are very smart.

True. But thick people are harmless. Don't get why they are hated. If a thick person has a job and is paying taxes through life and not sponging off the goverment then what more could you ask for?

Too much stereotyping really.

Anyone with a job can't be classed as thick

Why? We need a few thick people for jobs that need doing like sweeping the streets. However suppose they could be lazy. Plus EVERYONE should at least do a bit of grafting.

I agree most people that aren't to bright are harmless and should not be chritisized, but what about the 16 yr old who is asked Why did you steal that" and he replies "I don't know" then says "It's for something to do" then says "Were in charge not the Police were just trying to show them who's boss"

I heard that virbal diarrea coming from a lads mouth during the riots. The reason for that crap is the reason i feel less proud of Britain because if you went to Afrika, India, probably anywhere other than America you would not be able to find such rubbish coming out of one single kids mouth.

That Drivell is Made In Britain it's ours we own it, we created it, and we ignore it and i'm not Proud of that.

Sounds like as much as a lot don't want it to that maybe Britain needs to become more "PC" again. Limit the amount of crap that we see in television, magazines etc. But for most folk all that is just a laugh. It's just there.

We need more community spirit and youth clubs. Something for unemployed or any of these young rioters to do something.

Margaret Thatcher is to blame for what has happened. Everything wasn't as bad until she came along.

I currently hate this place. I didn't realise how nice and good people were in Singapore until I met the idiots at this boarding school I'm stuck at.

Could sit here and list alsorts

For now..... the humour, the friendliness, the sense of community and how when crap happens we WILL pull together (infact even when it doesn't), the smiles in the street, the roast dinners and fish and chips, the diverse weather, the fact we get 4 very seperate seasons, the sport, that we can laugh at our sport, the music, Where we are - without major threat of natural disasters, our accents (most haha), the countryside and greenland but also the massive and beautiful cities.........
