England is a fairly envious little country and it's embodied in the press. They don't like anyone being more distinguished than they are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There tends to be a jealousy in England towards countries that are successful.
Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true.
Brits are cool at the moment. We've taken over the world, what with 'Game of Thrones', 'Downton Abbey', One Direction... to be British is to be fashionable.
Britain is a very small country with a very large press.
The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.
There's so much cynicism around in Britain, especially in the press. The American press might be naive, but at least you feel as if they're on your side.
Although I don't have anything against people from other countries, the higher the influx into England the more the British identity disappears.
England as a culture has endured so much more than America has as a culture, so it's given them a different perspective.
I like England more than I did when I left. It's become a bit of a better country in the last ten years, in the attitude of it. A bit more Americanized, which is both good and bad. At least when you order a cup of coffee they don't give you a hard time.
The country of Britain is wonderful because of its royalty.
