Does Brittania still rule the waves?

I thought places like that only existed in Tom Sharpe novels.

In truth would we really want to return to invading countries, stealing their property and shooting them?

Oh! I forgot, Tony has already done that.

I, myself, am ashamed with what we've become. We've become America in the 80's. 70% of children are now obese, we have a McDonalds in every town, and we have a government who seems to think we need ID cards more than hospital beds.

Back in the day, we were ruthless, and smart, and cunning, and, at times, downright evil. But at least we were proud of it. And we made our place in the new world. Nowadays, ppl are emigrating left right and centre, just to get away from this country/island. On every street corner is a group of 15 year old spotty ignorant kids, guzzling down cider and berrating anyone who walks past. With their babies/pregnant gfs. You go into a supermarket and see a fat person with pork pies and LIGHT mayonnaise. Cause it balances out you see. You go into town, and there are shops specialising in clothes for overweight ppl. And some can't even fit into the biggest sizes. Plastic surgey is now rife, even my next-door neighbour has had her nose and boobs done.

The UK. Britain. The Nation Which Ruled the Waves. Dwindling.

DAMN!

Before it was because we had a great Trading Empire that spanned the Globe, now its so that Mr Bush can point out that its not just American Body Bags coming home....
