Wow, that's not provocative at all, is it. I thought my point was rather valid in view of things but oh no, it's all my fault again. Apparently.
Shopped.
No.
The government make us look bad. Move to Zimbabwe or Uganda, then complain about poor government.
The holiday makers make us look bad. Small minority in "media over hyped" shocker!
The spoilt teens make us look bad. Which culture doesn't have this?
The yob culture makes us look bad. As above. All 3.
The dole queue bums make us look bad. Every country has these.
The lazy ******* 'bad back' crowd make us look bad. As above.
The poor education system makes us look bad. At least we have one.
The poor heath care fatalities make us look bad. At least we have one, and it's 'free'
The taxes are abysmal. Compared to some countries, they are low.
I could go on for quite some time.
Proud to be British? Hardly.
Dont consider myself British so no not proud ..
*high five*I'm proud to be British. What's funny is, a lot of people complain about the NHS, Education, Polotics, Tax and stuff. Compare this to India, Pakistan, Africa, Middle East and you'll soon realise we're in a better position.

No.
The government make us look bad. - we voted them in, obviously they're not perfect but could you do better? doubt it.
The holiday makers make us look bad. - A minority of holiday makers occasionaly make us look bad, however in general british holiday makers are culturally aware and respectful of other countries.
The spoilt teens make us look bad. eh?
The yob culture makes us look bad. - It's not as bad as the papers would have you think.
The dole queue bums make us look bad. - ditto
The lazy ******* 'bad back' crowd make us look bad. - ditto
The poor education system makes us look bad. - Britain has one of the worlds highest skilled workforces, you should be grateful you even get free education.
The poor heath care fatalities make us look bad. - 1) its free 2) its actually pretty good
The taxes are abysmal. - If you actually research you will find it's probably a little lower than other similarly developed countries in europe ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_revenue_as_percentage_of_GDP )

Absolutely. We're probably the only country in the world to have mastered the art of pumping coloured stuff into jet exhausts.

Agreed. I'll always be proud to be British, one thing I'm tired of in this country is the amount of people that blame the government for the their own short comings.
