Really dislike Chavs, or any form of anti social behavior. Need to deport the lot of them, or imprison them.

Bruv, theres no incentive to behave well. Even cleaning and fast food jobs are unavailable for the well qualified; the scrotes have got no chance.

You've gotta admire chavs sense of boldness though.

So hold on, it's justifiable to randomly attack people, to commit robberies etc because you're poor. Not a chance. These are the same people that drink everynight and smoke, live off the state then argue they're poor...

Should have a completely no nonsense policy on anti-social behavior. Perfect example, Birmingham riots, how many people were doing it for causing troubles sake? The majority. Should have had tougher punishments.

Everyone is a hedonist, just look at all those coked up banking/finance ***** in the city gambling on the nations accounts etc. None of em have done a days work in their life; they had that looting coming to them frankly. Yes, its a problem when innocents get involved but you've gotta take it straight to the man. Rather than squabbling with ones comrades over jobs and all that volunteering *******s (which is what professional people/the elite want) take on the men at the top.

Love
Our fantastic and rich history, our long tradition of churning out the best literature anywhere in the world, our political model, our traditional patriotism, our liberal culture of democracy and freedom of speech, our fantastic countryside and public footpath system, our hearty and soulful food, our music, our coastlines, our globally vital major cities, our sprawling and diverse language, our humour, our connections with other countries, our world-class higher education establishments, our historic status as 'in the right' on international affairs, our healthcare, our wildlife, our people.

Loathe
Our recent obsession with and subordination to contemporary America and its culture, our recent tendency toward laziness, our recent politicians, our recent status as 'in the wrong' on international affairs, our mistrust of success, our recent pathetic infighting between constituent countries, our recent trivialisation and perversion of patriotism.

Like:
The cheap cost of living, "free" healthcare, accessible student loans, banter culture, the English language, best gay rights legislation in the world,

Dislike:
Dirty cities, undemocratic government (no right to referendums, no right for the people to overrule Parliament, etc.), the monarchy, an established church, the absence of decent infrastructure (especially in the north of England), rising levels of poverty, the armed forces (hey, let's steal other countries' resources!), how the government employs soldiers and doesn't equip them properly (essentially treating them like rubbish).

Overall I like Britain very much, but there are things we need to improve!

has nothing to do with following up the last comment. Just sayin'

Also they work loads, hate their job but get paid buckets afterwards, the pay is the bait. the only ones I hate are the execs who have it easier and snobby gits who think they are "Lads".
