Britain Sucks!

07-04-2004, 09:05
Why do we take instant offense? Because we hear it on this board EVERY OTHER DAMN DAY! Just once I'd like to see a "Canada isn't really the best nation" or a "Switz. isn't the best nation" or a "Britain sucks!" thread!


There you go Colodia.

If your going to have a pop at Britain at least do it in English - Britain sucks, what are you on about you idiot. I hate that expression it is typical bastardisation of the English language by a nation of half-wits. And by the way Norway didn't invade Britain in 1066 it was the Dutch and the French but you wouldn't know about anything before the 18th century because you didn't exist!!

Reasons why Britain rocks:

Free healthcare
No rabies
Quite a high standard of living
Democtatic
Free speech
The English language - it's really useful!
Weird citezenship rights- like gunboat diplomacy, freedom of travel in much of the world
Shakespeare
Lots of fascinating History and relatively large diversity of culture for such a small place

Reason why Britain sucks:

No separation of church and state (prayer is compulsory in school and is supposed to happen daily, though this is rarely enforced)
Still quite backward socially (very slowly being dragged kicking and screaming into Europe)
Xenophobia :-(
British National Party (a slighly more respectable KKK)
Bad weather
Invading Iraq
Invading and enslaving 1/4 of the World at one point or another (though that was a long time ago)
Northern Ireland :-(
Increasing levels of gun crime and violent crime
Reluctance to get more involved with Europe despite economic dependence
Immigration quotas

Britain sucks. But you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay!

Well, as a Brit I have a few counters for you:

1. Every country in the world can "suck", its all relative.

2. Every country in the world thinks the USA sucks. (Oh watch out for fanatic replies from irate Yanks)

3. Not everyone in Britain likes London, in fact a great many of us provincials think that it "sucks".

4. Norway did invade in 1066 but was defeated at the battle of Stamford Bridge and then the bloody Normans took over the following month after Hastings.

5. I think we all hate the French.

Nah, Harald Hardradaa (can't be bothered looking up the correct spelling) of Norway invaded and Harold of Wessex had to march with his men all the way up to Stamford Bridge to fight before marching back to Hastings (about a 400 mile round trip) to fight the Normans.

Fascinating period of History- the wind opposed the Norman corssing of the Channel until the Battle of Stamford Bridge was concluded. If that hadn't happened Harold of Wessex would have had to split his armies and the Norwegians and Normans probably would have battle it out for a few decades to gain control.

I believe in freedom of movement, especially when it means increasing your standard of living while contributing to your new "home" economy. We've still got lots of jobs to fill at the lower end of the wage scale, and immigrants tend to fill that niche very well.

There are valid points to be had both ways, but there tend to be several flaws in the xenophobes' arguments.

I always thought that the basis for Yanks was from the song Yankee Doodle Dandy and was therefore not as insulting as calling the french Frogs etc.

Of course I understand that if your from the "South" then Yanks has an altogether different meaning.

Well actually, the normans AND the vikings invaded in 1066. However, the English beat the Vikings or the people from Norway. However, the English were tired and lacking weaponry (remind you of anything) and were thrashed by the Normans! There, that should settle it!

I always wanted to go to Scotland, too (while were talking about Britain). Some of the best whisky in the world, and forests you can
get lost in (in a good way).

The Normans had some really clever tactics too, though the fatigue was probably the main factor.

The English chose the battefield and stationed themselves upon a large hill with only one front to defend. The Normans advanced, and then withdrew as soon as they appeared to suffer losses. Harold's army then pursued them and the Normans attacked the flanks. They did that a few times and then (IIRC) eventually circled the English. Quite a smart way to get around the whole hill thing that they had going...

The only bad thing (apart from peak hour traffic- which is usually avoidable) is that the whole thing smells quite rank.

Heh. I live in Crewe, which is a glorified train station. During term-time I live in Oxford which is well worth a visit. Pay a student £20 to give you a tour and they'll take you all sorts of places off the tourist trail but well worth seeing, and far cheaper too.

If you get a chance see all the Welsh castles, they're excellent. Stop by the Peak District between cities and then go to Scarborough. Erm, Dover, Stratford, Warwick... there are loads of places. Any touristy types out there, do yourself a favour and spend a summer here in a camper van, but be warned, petrol can be a bit pricey.

Edit: Ack! Forgot to mention Paris! Beautiful place, but it was oppressively cold when I visited.

We didn't ask for permission, we TOLD your stank asses to fight with us. Britain is Americas bitch! :lol:


that's just what we like to let you think :wink:


I was wrong, Some Brits do have a sense of humor. Good Show. :lol:

Actually A great many Brits didn't want to go to war but that so called socialist Teflon Tony did it anyway. He lied to the people and some of the idiots fell for it. Now the truth is coming out. No WMDS, no links to Osama's lot and no threat to Britain whatsoever.

Any by the way, before you accuse me of being a Liberal, I vote Conservative. And boy was I p***ed when my party supported Tony Blair.

:? What did Norway do?

Tried to invade in 1066. Brits are good at holding grudges like that... almost 1,000 years ago!

Tried to? They bloody well did!!

Am I remembering my history incorrectly? I thought we were invaded by the Normans in 1066.

Well actually, the Normans AND the vikings invaded in 1066. However, the English beat the Vikings or the people from Norway. However, the English were tired and lacking weaponry (remind you of anything) and were thrashed by the Normans! There, that should settle it!
Well no that didn't happen it was a very close battle . So they were not thrashed.
And England is the GREAT NATION if it wasn't for us America would have been as big and powerful it is today , we may not have the computer , or the television or the phone. If it wasn't for us who would have organized the world( there may have been the French but i am talking about organizing the world). We may all be under the rule of the French with out Wellington or Nelson . Or under the control of Italy , Nazi Germany or Japan if it wasn't for the bravery of RAF pilots and merchant men and the army and Winston Churchill or Montgomery . So before you insult Britain the world would be terrible.
And that yank rubbish, many thing insults use OK . Yes London isn't the best place but the country side is lovely. This thread is stupid because someone said they hate all nations and please all of you give me a reason why Britain sucks.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN !!!!!!!

If your going to have a pop at Britain at least do it in English - Britain sucks, what are you on about you idiot. I hate that expression it is typical bastardisation of the English language by a nation of half-wits. And by the way Norway didn't invade Britain in 1066 it was the Dutch and the French but you wouldn't know about anything before the 18th century because you didn't exist!!

Norway did invade Britain in 1066. I am English and have no real desire to help these foolish Americans dishonor and slam our country but in the first half of 1066, Harold Haardragor (Cannot get the spelling right) tried to take the English throne from Harold II but failed when his army was defeated at the battle of Stamford Bridge. This diverted Harold II forces to the North and so made the south more vulnerable to a Norman Invasion in the second half of that year by William the Conqueror.

Learn history, it is a vital aid to one's argument.

Hardly. Alot of these people are economic migrant rather than asylum seekers. You don't trot half way round the world to seek asylum.
Thanks to our European neighbours we are getting well and truly stuffed.
So how would you deal with mass influxes of illegal immigrant, asylum seekers, and economic migrants? Let them settle in the UK, take years to process their applications then ask them to leave? Hardly fair is it.
Do we return people who came as asylum seekers when their country is stable again? Stay away from this thorny topic as there is no easy solution.
