everyone who has written on here is a lunatic. starngely i was looking up good things abotu england because i was returning from abroad after 4 months and missed england… then i remembered what i said to my mate in holloway (london) jsut before i left, that everyone in england is mad and its like a massive mental asylum. he said it was like lord to the flies, and that being on an island eventually we just would go mad. this message pretty much proves that, and clearly everyone in england is totally mad.

at least they are our mad people, even if they are barking!

no.1 – nhs… its defines england

with regards to ww2 i think it matters so much because englands history is quite brutal and empire building isnt morally good. yet when it mattered, when the greatest evil known in history rose up, we were the ones who stood against it when everyone else in europe fell, and i think thats why it matters. we were redeemed and from that event had a morality that stays with us. we still do things that arent right (iraq!), but we did what mattered when it mattered and we shoul dbe proud of that.

(ps – ireland werent in the war, even though hitler bombed dublin once after the firebrigade of the republic put out fires in belfast – interesting i think)

To JustMe – I’ve been in Australia for over 30 years, and agree completely with you. They never let you forget you are a tourist – still, its easier to get a job here – which explains why I am still here! All the best

Steve C, I wish my family would see sense like you have.

My family moved to Australia in 2005 and I have to spend the rest of my childhood here until I’m old enough to finish school and get the hell out. I am literally aching to return to England. Australia does nothing but bang on about how brilliant it is and how the fact that it has people from other countries living there somehow makes it better than everywhere else. To them, multiculturalism is great so long as you’re interesting and you keep your head down. I listen to lectures every day in class about how Australia is the most diverse, tolerant country in the world then go outside and get teased constantly for daring to be English. I’m absolutely sick of it and I can’t wait to get out and go home.

I just wish my family would come to the same conclusion as yours. It’s damn hard being an immigrant, and I even look the same as everyone else. I can’t imagine what it must be like for all the non-Anglo-Saxons out there. Just three more years to go…

11th reason why England is great:

Big Bother blocks social-networking websites and messaging services now, in addition to permitting pervasive surveillance… George Orwell rotates in his grave…
