It doesn't make England a bad place...

No, England is not a bad place at all. Looking back through the thread plenty of people have said it was a bad place for some and still is for others. The only one implying that anyone thinks it is a bad place now is you, Lizzie. For one who 'has England running through their blood', or whatever it was, I find it remarkable that you cannot accept that there are things wrong. Surely it is those of us that can see the country, for all it's past crimes and current faults, and yet still find it the best place to live that realy love the old girl isn't it?

Remember the story of Jonah and the whale? Jonah kept his faith, but the devil argued with god that while life was good it was easy for Jonah to do so. So, they made life very difficult for the poor old sod (god can be a bastard sometimes can't he!)and yet Jonah still kept faith. He had a whinge and whine every now and again, like we all do, but he stuck with it and won through in the end. Anyone who has never had their faith in anything tested cannot realy know if the faith is strong enough. Anyone who can only see the good in something is in for a big disappointment when the shit hits the fan!
