Its not so bad. I was in London for a few days last week and spent two days in Bath. England looked great. Very green and plush. The people for the most part looked good and there was a lot going on. If you compare it to the rest of the world (apart from the weather) the UK looks pretty good. That's why so many immigrants want to go there.
One thing I really like about the UK and the British is the lack of sickly patriotism you see in other countries. In the US politicians and businessmen wrap themselves in the American flag in order to cynically manipulate peoples misguided sense of patriotism.
In the UK that doesn't happen much. The fact that the British are not overly patriotic shows a high degree of self confidence and self restraint. You guys have a lot to be proud of.
Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. Mahatma Gandhi
