A nice place, some areas are absolutely beautiful (The Cotswolds, the South West for example), whereas others have the most amazing nightlife, pleasant weather in the summer, readily available decent education and opportunities.
However the politics of the Labour Government are extremely questionable and the people running the country are a bunch of useless scumbags who keep increasing our taxes so they can keep buying fifth houses and cars which they dont need. Our economy is failing, mass multiculturalism is unfortunately only breeding rascism, we are the bitch of the EU (which the majority of people don't want to be a part of) and the future looks pretty bleak. Crime is on the rise, as is teenage pregnancy, the spread of STIs, problems with drink and drugs, The National Health Service is terrible, and we're a slave to Health and Safety and Political Correctness.
A Country which makes the rich richer, the poor poorer, and abuses the practicalities of foreign labour to an appaling degree. In the majority of cases it is right to say that the honest, hardworking classes and the middle classes are the ones that lose out in this country, and has been proven that those on benefits are infinately better off than those who work. This has led to a mass abuse of the benefits system.
However much I love this country, Its becoming somewhere many of its own citizens can't stand to be, and as such is driving our it's own people in droves. The only thing we're heading for is Revolution.
Neither I nor my parents can afford to put me on their car insurance so I cant learn to drive, despite the fact that all three of us are working and intend to intil the day we retire.
However my fat relatives who have never worked a day in their lives get given a free car because she's a cripple and cant walk, despite the fact that I have seen her running about the shops without a stick or wheelchair in sight in the January Sales. As is usually the way in England.
Oh i'm sorry, I meant "my relative with an eating disorder" not fat relative, and "physically impaired" rather than cripple. OMGZ LOL I TOLLY LEIF PERLETICUL CORICTNUSS!!!!!!1111 GG OK??

A pretty damn shit place to live. But it's better than America to be honest. We shouldn't help the motherfucking yanks kill thousands of people in Iraq. Are they not old enough to fight their own war? We DO NOT say 'good old chap' and shit like that. We do brush our teeth and not all of us smoke. Just some of the random crap the yanks have been writing about England. It's still a shithole. But if it wern't for us, theyre wouldn't be a America. We were the ones that made a pilgramige to America and they took it over and now the buggers hate us? Well you have a crap leader. Well so do we. SHH.The Queens pretty shit aswell. She dosen't do much. In a nutshell, both America and England are shit countries.
American Tom:'Englands shit'
English Chris:'I know, so is America'
American Tom:'Fuck yeah!'

A country where you don't have to pay for healthcare or a good education, and where kids don't go round shooting everyone because it says so in the 'constitution', a scripture more outdated than the bible, which the yanks also love.
England is bordered by 2 or 3 countries whose names i forget.
ENG-A-LAAAND!!!!!

A country, quite like any other country. Not all of us are the stereotype as we don't all sit around all day drinking tea and eating crumpets while speaking in our Sherlock Holmes voices. Some places have been overrun by chavs, and some places are still quite nice but do have quite a few pricks walking the streets with their fags in their mouths and their hats on backwards while saying the word SWAG repeatedly, but trailer trash is the American version of chavs, because nowhere in the world is free of pricks or perfect. Which I'm sure is a shock to some people.
It's a country with loads of culture and it's not just fields or London. It's good for holidays, because London manages to cram loads of shops in while having some of the most interesting places in the world, like the London Eye (biggest ferris wheel in the world) and some places that are just fucking terrifying like M&M World (4 floors worth of chocolate, you can smell it streets away, and yes I know they're in America too). Oh, and not everyone is a football-obsessed chav here either.
England is just a country, though. Sure, it's had achievements in the past, but that doesn't give English people permission to act like a bitch to other people in different countries, and it doesn't give people the authority to judge every single person in a country based on some dumb stereotype they heard a while ago and have never actually met enough English people to judge them properly.

A country in north-west Europe. Part of the United Kingdom. Bordered by Wales to the West and Scotland to the north.
Did much for the world, for example Isaac Newton (extraordinary physicist, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, and natural philosopher), George Stephenson (inventor the train), and Charles Darwin (theory of natural selection on which the modern theory of evolution is based) were all English.
Produced influential music acts such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Black Sabbath.
Football and rugby were invented in England.
Has a language spoken by a huge amount of the worlds population - roughly 300-400 million people speak it fluently and 150 millionβ1 billion speak it as a second language - even those who claim to hate England (the Scottish, Welsh, Irish and Americans to an extent).
Hated out of jealousy by Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Most likely because England does better when it comes to sports, and Englands dominant cultural position within the U.K.
England is a country in Europe, part of the United Kingdom.

A country that has invented more international sports than any other nation. The list includes golf, tennis, darts, boxing, football (soccer), rugby union, rugby league and cricket. Although Americans don't play the last three sports, pretty much everyone else in the world does.
Other sports invented by England include; bobsleighing (believe it or not!), badminton, bowls, canoeing, snooker, croquet, curling, rowing, skiing (amazingly), squash, table tennis, yachting, weight lifting, archery and horse racing.
Perhaps the only three main games played on a global scale that are missing from the list are chess (accredited to India), hockey/ice hockey (Ireland) and Poker...not invented by Americans, but by the French.
At time of writing, England is home to the most prestigious tennis tournament(Wimbledon), the second best test cricket team in the world, the Rugby Union World Cup winners, one of the favourites for Germany 2006 Football World Cup plus the wealthiest and arguably best Football league in the world.
American jock: "what the hell's 'soccer' anyway? I mean, like, who actually plays that?"
England football hooligan: "it's the most viewed sport in the world mate. The World cup gets over 900 million more viewers than the superbowl. Enuf said."

A country which must rank as the biggest victim of racism in the modern world. Leonard Maltin gets on his high horse if Mickey Mouse so much as dresses up as a Native American and says 'how', nobody is allowed to mention that Abu Hamza is a twisted terrorist supporter and no-one's allowed to sing 'baa-baa-black-sheep'. And yet Hollywood is busy churning out so-called movies which are really one piece of anti-english racist propaganda after another. The latest, Braveheart, tells the 'true' story of how the heroic Scots beat the evil English murderers. Lol! It's not Mel Gibson's brains that have got him where he is today. I've no doubt that most English and American people would rather live together in peace, but - as in any situation like this - the minority of loudmouths and bigots unfortunately shout loudest and so are heard. Unfortunately those bigots include the UK government. Tony Blair and his clan openly detest England and the English, are busily selling it off, taking away its basic freedoms and putting it under the iron-fist rule of unelected suits in Brussels. The laughability of Blair can be truly seen when you realise he's sucking up to a President who is a retard controlled by arms-dealer and big business puppet-masters. Every time Bush opens his mouth he detracts from the total sum of human intelligence. Some Americans harp on about the murderous British Empire, neatly stepping over the fact that the US is currently acting exactly the same as the British Empire at its worst. The white US population came from countries like England (has anyone noticed how so many of them speak english?) and wiped out entire nations and entire ways of life when they invaded the New World. Regarding the War of Independance, far more people died in the American Civil Wars which followed. For what it's worth, I love New York, thought the people there were very nice. I certainly felt less threatened walking the streets there than in places like London or Luton, which are becoming more like third world slums every day. Returning to the subject of xenophobia, I think it might be an idea if people formed their own opinions rather than relying on propaganda-filled movies which are being used in the same way Hitler and Stalin used films to brainwash the people of their countries.
For the benefit of anyone wishing to imply the English are all semi-literate, whales are marine mammals. Wales is the country attached to England.
