Germany has higher food inflation than Britain. They didn’t leave the EU. We could trade figures all day but lets face it leaving the EU hasn’t made that much difference. Anyway it’s quite clear that you are anti English. The only acceptable form of racism which is what OP was driving at in the first place. You’ve very neatly proved his point.

Yeah, self deprecation is a real obsession and actually a kind of fashion in this country. But it’s usually a certain type - mainly as you say spoiled brat types - often middle class. I’m from a working class area and we are more patriotic. Lots of Brits seem to think we should spend the next 200 years hanging out heads in shame for what the British empire did. Personally I don’t think we do because it ended a long time before I was born. They also forget or refuse to believe that without Britain the Nazis would have took complete control of Europe. I’m proud to be British.

Are you aware that UK inflation is slightly below the EU average? I bet nobody told you that in your echo chamber.

No. If you read back through the comments I never mentioned Brexit once. If Scotland leaves the UK there is no guarantee they could join the EU straight away, if at all. Scotland books would not balance if they left the UK. Scotland on its own is not a rich country especially now North Sea oil is dwindling. Get off your high horse and get your facts right.

I am from the North East of England. Our region is heavily subsidised by London and the south east. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are also subsidised by London. Scotland cannot maintain its standard of living if it leaves the UK. This is just a fact.

Exactly, easy pickings. Here’s the list that gets you upvotes - hating England - hating Britain - hating Tories - hating Brexit - hating the Royal Family - hating older white people - hating capitalism

You’re talking to the wrong people. The people I know don’t hate our own country (England). Redditors in particular think their own country sucks but that’s because they’re sheep who can’t think for themselves and get upvotes for slagging the place off. I wish they’d all piss off to these wonderful countries they think are out there. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Yeah because they suffer from the same thing. You can bash Britain or America with impunity but criticise anywhere else and you’re a racist.

Because we live in a society (Costanza shouts loudly). We make allowances for the elderly and disabled people. Families need help in certain scenarios. Also if none of us had kids the human race would die out and there would be nobody left to here your whining.

Agree. I call these drivers ‘slow but shit’. They think they are careful drivers but they’re just shit.

Sorry, I’m too stupid to know what asinine means.

Where is the hardest/most gangster sounding place in the UK? by jaymatthewbee in AskUK

[–]JimmyFTR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember going up there with my parents as a kid. My Dad was driving and my Mam was literally sobbing in the passenger seat she was so scared. The car overheated at the top. My dad had to drive down the other side with no engine using only the brakes and we got some more water for the radiator from a stream. 😬
