There would not be many people left here! The newspapers are FULL of complaints about everything! Or does this only apply to English born 'foreigners'?

Oh come on now! There lots more good about England, for instance:

Xenophobia, racist, corrupt politicians, a corrupt police force, Que's everywhere and people accepting them, village minded, superior attitude, Chivas/Ned's, aggression, cant handle booze, cant do things in moderation, lack's identity, elite Royal Family and homelessness, too many people lacking in education and morality and Morris dancing!

The English love to complain, if you guys didn't have any thing to winge about to others, then what would you do instead? Oh, probebly stand in a queue.



I moved from Ireland to England and I love it. Just remember this: Ireland is the most expensive place to live in the EU, our house prices are much bigger than yours, we have no NHS, Everythinbg is more expensive to buy. We have the same shops as you (tesco, debehams, marks and spencer etc.) but in Ireland we have to pay at least 25% more per item.

You might complain that alcohal and ciggerettes are expensive in the UK, but come to Ireland and you'll realise it even more expensive.



And to top it off, although you guys complain that the weather is crap in England, Ireland has it so much worse, it rains almost every day.

well......I'm not English actually I'm Egyptian, and I'm amazed that u guys r complaining like this, because we do the same thing in my country, but I thought it was because we r a developing country, I do know that England is not a very luxurious country like Sweden or Switzerland, but u know what, EVERYBODY complains actually, but I don't think u should leave ur country or be obligated to leave it, coz there'll be no other place where u'll feel the same, stay even if it sucks, I say. coz we do have this problem too. and leaving is not a solution!!

Nope, we are a nation of moaners and whingers - it is our national passtime and there's nothing we like better than a good old moan, moan moan.



But at the end of the day, we wouldn't swap it for anywhere else in the world and we'll fight tooth and nail down to our last bit of strength to defend it!



This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,



This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,



This other Eden, demi-paradise,



This fortress built by Nature for herself



Against infection and the hand of war,



This happy breed of men, this little world,



This precious stone set in the silver sea,



Which serves it in the office of a wall,



Or as a moat defensive to a house,



Against the envy of less happier lands,



This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England







From Richard II, Act 2 (Shakespeare)

Nope im proud to be Bristish!



This is why:



BEING BRITISH. Being British is about;



driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of all things foreign!



Only in Britain can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.



Only in Britain do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.



Only in Britain do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.



Only in Britain do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.



Only in Britain do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.



Only in Britain do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.



Only in Britain are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.



NOT TO MENTION... 3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.



142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.



58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.



31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.



19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.



British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after Xmas cracker-pulling accidents.



18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.



A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E; in the last two years after trying to open bottles of beer with their teeth.



5 Brits were in jured last year in accidents involving out-of-control Scalextric cars.



and finally... In 2000 eight Brits were admitted to hospital with fractured skulls incurred whilst throwing up into the toilet. If you're proud to be British, send this on!

Most of the people that complain about England are us English, so if we all left it would no longer be England I guess

It's only by being critical that we'll force our politicians into change. After all, they're answerable top the eloctorate at the end of the day!

No, you have the right to complain at will if you have 'paid into the system all your life'



If they weren't allowed to complain think of all the jobs that would be lost in journalism and tv...

the newspapers are moaning and causing economic crisis because they are backing their respective political parties. everyone else needs to complain like buggery, The UK is turning into a shambles to be honest.
