      Quite a lot is right with the UK - it just doesn’t get reported because the world’s media focuses on negativity. That’s pretty much the case for every country - people are people even if religion and politics differ. The day to day lives go on with a thousand acts of kindness and consideration. Your attitude is no different to someone in the UK saying “America’s shit” because of a few key points that get bounced around the internet constantly, ignoring the many positives.

        I don’t think the source of their wealth even though they are a failed nation or that they perpetuate neo-imperialism and instability around the world to maintain the global north superiority is reported enough, or are those not negative enough?
