Why don't you stop whinging about the problems and try to help find solutions?

I don't know about bland, corporate, consumerist rubbish but your blog makes me want to commit suicide, cheer the fuck up.

Hello. I am an American and very well, intelligent. Not all Americans are hicks from Texas that are four hundred pounds. I would appreciate if you didn't stereotype us for what others think about us. Thank you :)

Yes you are an idiot for making the most idiotic blog i have ever read. If you don't like England move to bloody america, Fucking idiot I love England and not everywhere in england is the same maybe you should get out more instead of making these stupid blogs!!!

I have just returned from Asia, (had a wicked time) and I have to say I am depressed as hell. The banality of england is overwhelming. It seems people are waiting to die. Ok there is poverty in places like Vietnam but their way of life is richer than ours in so many ways.

'Parents are awful. No body in this country has the first idea how to bring up a child. Everyone hits, shouts, swears at, and worst of all ignores their toddlers.'

What do you expect from Britain? These parents have children not to raise families but to claim more benefits so they can go out and spend it on cigarettes, beer, drugs, and fancy clothes. No wonder child poverty in Britain is on the increase.

We should just stop giving out child benefits altogether in Britain and use that money on something better, or at least substitute it for baby vouchers. Even India has worse levels of child povery that Britain but at least they have much better family values, such as children respecting the elderly.

'People here are really stupid. Only the Americans are more stupid than us.'

What do you expect, everyone in Britain who has an ounce of common sense and intelligence ends up emigrating to better countries like Australia, New Zealand and the USA. Just attend a university postgraduate fair or a graduate job fair in any part of the country, and just count how many students enquire about emigrating or take an interest in working and living abroad. You will be surprised!

in the american war of independance the british where outnumberd 10 to 1 and the american's had support from many other countries them seeing that any loss to england would help themselves and in wwII america never wanted to go to war in the first place until they thought that the loss of europe could put america in harms way and every war after that america has been involved in direct or indirect and lost damn near every one even with englands help so america isent all that fine espically after they droped 2 atomic bombs on a country that was surrendering.

Please talk to my boyfriend- he s half english and whatever happens in england is glorious. I just dont want to go and live there.

All Valid Points.

No one ever wants to be blamed. The people say it's the governments fault, the government says it's the prime ministers fault.

Maybe we need to try Communism?

That he country was/is SOOOO screwed up ( and you continued to exploit your "colonies" - slaves- for hundreds of years) that it led to this brilliant summation of why no one should have anything to do with you and lead to a MUCH better, more rational country... with NO QUEEN... you people really need a revolution:

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

— John Hancock

The reason why we!! hate Adam because he's hipercric hes got it all wrong because we are not 'chavs' and if we were i would hit you and were not fat americans are so whoever you are, you are pathetic

yeah i agree

wow you have issues

You forgot to mention the shitty weather to complete the picture.

US and UK are the same both speak the same language, and have minor differences.

well done man, i feel exactly the same. I'm constantly trying to articulate this kind of modern lifestyle and you've done so perfectly. Though i live in Australia I can relate entirely. The celebrity thing is fucked, I feel I can't even bitch about it because like you said I too would hate to give them any more attention. I CAN NOT stand gossip writers for Woman's Weekly etc that go on about them and bad mouth on TV when really, they are even worse. They are the wretched parasites embarrassing themselves, GET THE FUCK over these losers! It really saddens me to think of a future where there will be no such thing as 'class' or 'quality', only feral pop-punk teenagers or yuppies with shit taste taking over the whole goddamn country.
I was thinking of visiting England for this exact reason because Australia's older or non-superficial society is slowly dying from this shit, but now I don't know. The 'Australia' that everyone thinks of is dead. Our laidback society, the whole stereotype (which, yea was a bit over-top top and simple and dead by the 90's) has revolutionised to this sea of ugly, identical trashy American wannabes.
The developers in Australia are going overboard. I live in the countryside but now it is being taken over by developers implanting these robot families and the whole place is a boring landscape of sardines. I was actually thinking of moving to the England countryside so I wouldnt have to deal with all this shit but now I don't know what to think. I fucking hate this world. Thanks

The British army is the best army in the world and the British dont say the yanks are the best they might have the best technology in the world but we have the best trained in the world and when we send are army to war we dont kill are own men and dont kill are allies. The British army is the most disiplined army in the world and the most well trained. Our army is far smaller then then Americas but we over come this by courage, disiplin, and training. Which is why we needed help from the Amerian's in the World War's. We're heavily out numbered. The American's just leveled the field.

Here's something some a few American Soliders did.. I actually warn you.... its not nice at all...

http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/43462/9fb16ab3/us_soldaat_gooit_puppy.html

My dad told me a story about his mate who used to be in the Royal Marines...

The Americans set up high security base not far from a British base. The place was lit up like a chrismas tree. The Americans told the British "Try and get in." So one night, the Royal Marines did so - they got to the core without being detected and placed a monitor - then soon went back to their base. They then pressed a button and on the monitor appeared "BOOM, YOU'RE DEAD!" The Americans were alittle pissed off so they confronted the British about it. They said "You didn't tell us when you were gonna come..."

Just comes to show how intelligent the Americans are...

Anyway...
i believe the British Police force is pretty sorted - For example, the Police Officers do not carry guns - If they were to carry guns, then criminals would carry guns and would mean more fatalities.

I think they shouldn't just blame England because it's not just England. Its also Wales, Scotland and Northen Island. The United Kingdom.

sorry, but the UK looks pretty good from Australia..
We have everything you have described, minus the history and a higher percentage of wankers.

your an idiot. Not everyone in England is fat and pasty as you claim. In fact your views are completly extremist. and thats just the first point. i gurantee if i showed this to anyone in England apart form you they would agree with me. Sure there are categories that people fit into, Chavs, goths etc but doesnt everyone fall into one of these??? It is not our falult that Rupert M owns most of our news. The houses are expensive but surely if we are making money off buying and selling property we are being successful. I dont know where you were brought up but saying that parents are awful i find disgusting and so completly generalised to where u must of been brought up. The parents i know are extremly responsible and caring to their children. i cba writing anything else because htis post is so ridiculous.
