Yet more Brit bashing from within, perhaps you and @JP1 should look at the facts first before slagging this great country off, we are 4th in the world for foreign aid in total, giving twice as much as the French, and in GDP terms we are miles ahead of the Germans and USA and as for public donations we are fourth in the world and the highest in europe.This thread is an example of why the Brits are so popular around the world.
Being a nation of such poor team players, it's just as well we are going out of Europe.
Bitter Britain.
Calm down. I'm responding to what has been posted on this thread. Why would that mean I'm bashing the Brits? I am one who is very proud of our Foreign Aid contribution, there's others on here who want to rescind itYet more Brit bashing from within, perhaps you and @JP1 should look at the facts first before slagging this great country off, we are 4th in the world for foreign aid in total, giving twice as much as the French, and in GDP terms we are miles ahead of the Germans and USA and as for public donations we are fourth in the world and the highest in europe.
Its just the same when people say the brits are racist, of course a few are but very few countries in the world have as many different nationalities living happily together as the UK
You started a thread about Notre Dame
Some of the contributors to this thread just seem to have a pathological dislike of anything "foreign"
I think diversity around the World should be celebrated . If everywhere was like England it would be very boring
Makes me laugh when I think this an anti French thing when you think how many big farmers have wrung the CAP over the years for a system that was originally designed to support small French farmers originally

Sorry, but I firmly believe charity should begin at home. Our one and only County hospital is closing. Rubbish collected once every 3 weeks. Potholes everywhere. Roadside hedges cut once a year, if at all. Police struggling for funds to fight crime. And yet we must feel guilty if we don't want to contribute to rebuilding a landmark in another country ? Really ?
Peage roads are financed by private investment not state roads
From within, of course from within, you should always be your own harshest critic, otherwise you are in denial.Yet more Brit bashing from within, perhaps you and @JP1 should look at the facts first before slagging this great country off, we are 4th in the world for foreign aid in total, giving twice as much as the French, and in GDP terms we are miles ahead of the Germans and USA and as for public donations we are fourth in the world and the highest in europe.

What does UKIP have to do with this? Just because someone wants out of the UK does not for one moment make them anti any other country in the world. Of course there are some that dislike different countries/cultures/people but that goes for every place in the worldYes read that. Why is that bashing Britain.

bet it was a German combine too! No wonder the poor chap wants out. Not like the good old days when we had British built Massey combines, then we spent all day wishing it would catch fire
