What happened to mighty England?

Old England used to be such a mighty land; we ruled the world, colonised all of the best lands, and English people were the most intelligent and self-supporting people around.

Now, the population is diluted with weird people from foreign lands; people rely on the government for things like healthcare, and more than 30% of people depend on the government for half of their income.

We rule nothing except a small damp Island, and won't even rule that if the EU gets its way, and people bitch on endlessly about a 'credit crunch'.

We used to have beautiful, unspoilt countryside, where kings and princes would go hunting, but now we have sprawling, crime ridden council estates for the poor.

Where did it all go wrong?

America stepped in.

Agreed. We need to rebuild the British Empire and take over America again.

Population "diluted with weird people from foreign lands"? Maybe it "all went wrong" when people started thinking things like this.

Liberalism, also immigration.

Shhh! Amanda is from the US, I think she meant it in a good way!! LOL

:wtf?: British history is the history of successive waves of immigrants Mr BNP.

You're missing the point, this isn't just about the decline of England's world influence, but also about the internal decline in the quality of people that live here.
