Britain is a terrible society to live in - 2012.

For anyone, it is terrible.

- Hatred is so rife between class, racial and religious boundaries.
- 50% income tax on higher income earning individuals
- The majority of British women tend to have terrible personalities. Note i said personalities, not specifically looks. They look down on the men and especially along class boundaries their prejudice is apparent, even more so than racial based discrimination.
- Nanny state subjects who hate all that are not the same as them. Whether they are from a different area of the country (north v south divide, divide amongst regions themselves)
- The weather.
- Northern Ireland (A God awful place filled with some of the most detestable people i have ever had the displeasure of witnessing, mostly chronically drunk individuals). I seriously don't know why people are so bothered about that place.
- Delusions of grandeur. Well, unless you're upper class, as a Brit you were just as oppressed as many subjects of the conquered territories in the Empire, your own leaders saw you as vagrant underclass sub humans if you were not one of them (back in the days of the empire). So, there.

The only area which makes this UK worthwhile to live in is it's academics. This country does still retain some of the world's best.

And yes, i will gladly let the door hit me on the way out. It can't be worse than remaining here thats for sure.

Well it produced ungrateful people like you so yes, it must be terrible.

So what do you propose we do about it? Or do you just enjoy complaining?

Don't quite agree with all your points, but I'm not a fan of Britain either. After uni I'm off to Canada.

I look at other countries in this world and I'm so glad that I was born here. It is such a safe and healthy (if you look after yourself properly. Life expectancy is very high) place to live and I try to remind myself of this whenever I'm pissed off about something. We have so many oppurtunities as Britons, although most people don't make the most of it and just let life pass by.

Ok, you may think there are better countries out there to live in, and you're probably right. However, living in Britain is a privilege that most 2nd and 3rd world country citizens could only dream off. But feel free to **** off OP, you pompous ****.

britain at #20. below martinique, tied with belgium martinique germany.

not bad by world standards. but some distance below the world leaders.

then, people let life pass them by. so those years can be wasted. yes. that's the lament here on tsr. british culture crushes dreams, ambition, desire.

don't do it. don't spend one more second in that stoke-on-trent miasma.

Instead of preaching about politically correct matters in schools, there needs to be a reassertion of individual morals/ethics. People need to be taught the consequences of their own actions on others and the society they live in as a whole.

There also needs to be a stronger community spirit. David Cameron don't have it far wrong with their buzz word 'Big Society' idea, but the trouble is that it just hasn't worked and needs more careful thought instead of being merely a part of a political series of soundbites.

And family values need to be addressed urgently. The idea of being more collective in terms of relationships with others is what needs to be emphasised.

But more importantly, people need to learn about the consequences of their actions and not what society could do for them but what they could do for society. Society needs to be a lot more cohesive and socially collective as a whole.

And the government in return has to stop being incompetent and prevent banks from taking such negligent measures to maximise profits at the potential risk of the stability of a whole nations economy. The drawbacks of introducing prophylactic measures on banks is that they would simply move a lot of business overseas, which is why it is so difficult, because the country needs the banks.


But hey, i am a dreamer.
