The "Say Something Nice About the Brits" Thread.

[macuísle]

Not bullied into this but I believe in balance and my yin was way out of line with my yang...so...


They make great actors. Even on "The Bill" the acting is better than most American prime time shows. And they make me laugh. Michael Palin, Paul Whitehouse, Caroline Aherne, Robbie Coltrane, Ricky Tomlinson. All genius.

[shadowman]

they oppress people really well

[shamalive]

They're a bunch of fuckin ignorant wankers....




Ooops, wrong thread.

They've had the longest running democracy in western history, they are very good at making pies, they have lovely folk music (thai is all the English, I'm talking about, by the way), amazing literature, nice countryside, a great capital city, the best desserts, and they invented the gin and tonic.

They have great shops even though they overcharge their Irish customers

If it wasn't for us, you'd have to support your local soccer team. In fact the sport wouldn't exist. As wouldn't Cricket. bah ruined it. I second the fella who mentioned pies. I'll add chips and gravy to that (and not that shite they serve in Hillbillys).

The Thames glistening beneath you, the London Eye and Parliament off in the distance, on the other side London Bridge, Tower Bridge, the Tate Modern.

Put a lump in your throat so it would.
'specially if someone snuck up behind you and started singing:

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

The girls in Newcastle
The beer in Yorkshire
The curries in Bradford

Ok, i know - there was an embryonic Ibiza scene, and there was the NYC/Chicago/Detroit undgerground stuff going on. But it was the English that did the first , large scale, open air raves back in 1988. (biology, sunrise, raindance, fantazia, energy)

Until more English killed it with the Criminal Justice Bill.

[smirkingchimp]

*sigh*
yeah - dont remind me....

and the CJB has been used to stop anti-road protests, green protests and loads of others. classic example of using tabloid "ecstasy hell" scare stories to get anti-democratic legislation passed

more recently the "anti-terror" laws passed after 9/11 were used to round up protestors going to demonstrate against an arms fair in London.

Basically, the government over here can break up demonstrations it doesnt like.

[oul'doll]

A "crowd" of 10 or more people listening to repetitive beats constitutes a rave and can be shut down. For fecks sake.

[smirkingchimp]

somebody discovered a loophole recently - there were illegal , small, raves going on in farmers out buildings and barns last year and the cops couldnt do anything.

but it was perfectly legal - i think it had to do with the location (isolated) and not creating a "nuisance" i.e. loud enuff to wake up loads of ppl to complain....

plus the rave was on private land , so the cops couldnt go onto it - cos they'd need a warrant.

trouble was - the barn was around 5 miles away for the farmhouse (BIG farm like), so the auld farmer didnt suspect a thing like ( tucked up in bed , knackered like)

Several illegal raves happened in London last year using private buildings , owned by banks and such like, but not used or rented out to anyone.

Same deal - cops would have to get a warrant to shut them down. by the time they got it , too late - rave over...

[oul'doll]

I can see why they were trying to curb the explosion of ecstasy use, but trying to stamp out the actual events was never going to work. Its total Nanny-stating.

[smirkingchimp]

yeah - and fat lot of good that did. average E consumption per WEEK is estimated to be between 500,000 and 2 million.

which is what the polticians planned for anyway - the CJB and susequent laws have made the UK probably the most policed and dictatorial states in the EU.

in other words - i miss Cork like!

The one where the newlyweds are shopping for a bed and when they say "bed" Eric Idle puts a box over his head and Michael Palin and John Cleese sing that stupid song to "talk him out of it". It's stupid as about 75% of Monty Python is. However that last 25% is brilliant.

I have met alot of langers from scotland and alot of very very sound English

There is alot of generalisms on this board

"all americans are stupid" etc

wake up will ye

and scots are brits btw

[macuísle]

I'm a bigot. I've already admitted that. That was the original point of this thread to try and convince me otherwise. I've miles of reasons for my bone marrow dislike of the brits and about a thimble full of reasons to like them. But the beauty is I've absolutely no guilt whatsoever regarding it. And when I find a better hairdresser I'll dismiss Manchester like I would a used kleenix. There are too many coming over here. And if you ask them why 9 times out of 10 it will be because of the "coloured situation". So now our company is less troublesome to them than their immigrant population. Who's the bigot's?

Like I said you and your type disgust me

there used to be a Knowrascism link on the way into the forums, you should have read it,

bigotry and rascism of all types are not tolerated here by the majority of users, surely there is a forum for you somewhere, www.nazi.com or something

[macuísle]

No. It doesn't apply Mr. Defender of the Realm. You obviously haven't read it as I have. It doesn't apply to nationality or adherence to political philosophy or we wouldn't have anything to talk about on this board. I am equally disgusted... I am disgusted by those who adher to the concept of monarchy and the insistence of an empire which has long past reached it's sell by date. I dislike anyone who subscribes to that philosophy regardless of religion, skin colour or what kind of music they listen to.

However as much as I dislike those who do coming to live in my country I would never succumb to the bigotry of telling them to "fuck off back to their own country". I was raised better than that.

[mouldydrunk]

think back a moment or two on what you said about your hairdresser, not unless you have a deep insight into her bliefs on imperialism etc, you dislike her purely because she is English

and that is what disgusts me

No just a very high percentage of the one's I've met as I've stated. Didn't you once state you didn't like Italy? Did you go everywhere? Did you meet all the Italians?

I've been quite clear on my bigotry from day one. And my experience and background would back up my contempt. I don't hate them. Hate requires emotion and I've none for most of them. And once again I'm only referring to the toff's, not the working class, not the immigrants, unless, of course they opt to become uniformed thugs like their countrymen in the 6 counties.

Now I am finished with this. I've been very honest and have never shied from my opinions. Dislike me, disregard me. It's irrelevant. I will continue to respect your views and opinions even if you don't mine.

[macuísle]

Oh. And just so you'll know and you can pass it on to you brit loving friends.

Being "British" isn't a race. And neither is being "Irish" for that matter. With some notable isolated exceptions our genetics are almost identical.

you can keep it, it means about as much as paisleys

gwan and take your hate with you

[norrie rugger head]

well tis deffo not me and the italians anyway.
i dont view any race differently, nor do i prejudge someone based on where they come from or thier background.
i only have views on someone that has a negative impact on my life by THEIR direct actions

you are a racist plain and simple but then you admitt that much which makes it so much worse, an apparently intelligent person who with such ignorance.

off the thread now as it bores me to try and talk to bigots to be honest

I agree, plus a sentance starting with "I hate" the "whomever" because of their skin colour, religon, having a monarchy etc. its all the same ballpark, narrowminded bigotry, hatred and rascism,

the reason why i get jumpy in england, is due to the fact that anytime i was there in the past, mostly as a kid, i got hassled, about my irishness..
but that was almost a decade ago now...and i think the general opinion there has changed.

i've gotten worse hassle from scots, but those are of the rangers-loyalist-british type of people...

My point was (as you well know) that if not for Britan then Germany would have eventually got around to us. What that would have implied for Ireland I don't know.

Probably it would have been a bad thing.

My point was the fact that Britan was there acted as a buffer between us and the third Reich. Although they may well have left us alone anyway as we just weren't important enough to us.

Explain Universal coverage, and how its paid for. Is it matched to your age,/level of cover you want, or is it matched to your income?

Universal coverage means that you are fully covered for healthcare even if you can't afford it.

Depending on your income you contribute a percentage of the cost on a progressive scale.

In Britain you have NI, so it's not free by any means. :rolleyes:

The NHS is free to anyone irrespective of their income level.
