Britain is better than America

Here a some reasons why the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is better than the United States of America. 1. Sarcasm and Irony " British people are quite happy to poke fun at everyone, most of all themselves! Also, Americans must want to like it because I see them say something is ironic when it is not. 2. History " Everywhere you go there is something that dates back, additionally offering some beautiful backstory's to every village, town and city. We also have great great landmarks and buildings such as Stonehenge and the Tower of London. Yes America do have some quite impressive monuments, however my grandmothers house is probably older than some of them. 3. Booze & Pubs. 60% of drinking is tailored around social interaction, not spirits and immeasurable music levels. 4. We used to have an Empire, for a small island nation we should all be proud. "The empire on which the sun never sets". 5. Most major international sports are British - Football (Soccer), Cricket, Rugby. American sports have not been fully adopted by other nations. 6. The BBC " 100% unbiased, uninterrupted public television " HBO"s "The News Room" we have their ideals! Without the astonishing struggle to get there. 7. The Queen " Not everyone is besotted by the Royal Family, yet either they make Britain proud. 8. Mostly due to our increasingly terrible weather, British people go abroad! If they do it right they gain an entity called culture. 9. English is the second most spoken language in the world. I know America speaks English however the language comes from the country of England which is in the UK. Whilst we are on the subject of language, let me discuss the fact that Americans say curtain word wrong such as aluminium, it's not aluminum. 10. Higher Life Expectancy " We"re slowly getting fatter yet not to a mobility scooter level as of yet! 11. Short Elections " elections are much more highbrow and about matters of importance/ relevance. Yes some may argue that the American system is better but in my opinion it is floored because if the Republicans control Congress and the president is a Democrat, how can he get anything done. 12. Although such a small country we have a great Fashion, Music & Film Industry. 13. Nothing is too far away! I believe a car journey that lasts more 30 minutes is a fair blooming journey! 14. We have Scots! A relationship founded upon the slogan of marmite (from both sides) they make the UK what it is. 15. Tea Tea Tea. Offer a visitor a "cuppa" is beyond common courtesy! Not that we don"t drink anything else but, this is one proud and true stereotype. 16. You mentioned comic books and how great films have come from them which I fully respect. But in a lot of these films and in lots of other genres the villain is often played by a Brit. They bring respect, grandeur and intellectual brilliance to the already great role. It may just be me but I often find that the villain played by the Brit turns out to be my favorite character. 17. Doctor Who. What started as a sort of educational children's show in 1963 has now turned into not only a nationwide phenomenon but a international one too. Conclusion: The UK is the greatest (GREAT Britain). We also have our rights, we also have our liberty, but do you know what this island nation is, It is the 'Land of Hope and Glory'.
