“@MrJingles,
So the best thing to be said about this country is "it's not as bad as Eastern Europe"?”

“@Redpitland
I thank you for your advice but I would like to think that I do get out. Having lived in Eastern Europe (not renowned for its human rights) and many other European countries, I thank God I am back on English soil. Yes I agree this country is as not great as we would like, but we could be living in worst place.”

“Mrjingles.
You need to get out more and open your eyes.. and see what a **** hole this once great country has become..! with crime rate to rival New York city. where the indigenous people are now the minority in places like Leicestershire.
Vast parts of London are now looking like down town Nairobi..come Lahore.
And don't even get me started on that bunch of parasite like air miles Andy and his mother and family of affair ridden divorcees.”

“@Speccy9eyes
You said;
"I must be wrong if you agree with me. I will have to rethink my opinion on this matter and get back to you. Pffft"
I know what you mean Speccy as I couldn't quite believe it myself. However, let me assure you that in this instance you are absolutely right, and I have no problem in saying that. But let's just enjoy the moment while it lasts…”

“I like the royal family but not the hangers on , the lords and ladys etc. can't stand them. the royal family bring a lot of money into the country via tourism or by going to visit a country a deal can be sealed for british prodicts. i do beleive there should be a celebration to mark the 60 years but not the amount that has been spent on it this weekend. I also believe that it is time for a change to our national anthem, something that reflects the country and not one person. just my views”
