Great Britain, once an empire, a conquering nation with political and diplomatic hold over 2/3 of the planet, a country never conquered or taken for granted, a simple island, tiny in comparison to the rest of the world, yet an achiever of so much, having shaped the world in so many ways, and changed the lives of billions it feels like the detoriation of this once great country is beginning to take root.
Britain used to be at the forefront of revolutions and broadcast so much to everyone, we are reknowned for our attitude which we have developed over the years as we strived and fought against oppression and facism, preaching freedom and independence, we brought new civilisations to the world and helped others in need, all over the world a simple mention of the BBC is greeted with open arms and understanding, even in the most remote of places.
We are the only country with the sheer confidence to take the first step, the one country that can laugh at itself when it all goes wrong, pick up the pieces and carry on, throughout everything we have survived and carried a glorious heritage. Our History, our people and our land is something to take the utmost pride in.
Alas, I feel like this is slowly fading away, where did it all go wrong for us, really?
We stood so tall and now we simply quarrel and attempt to deal with our problems in a country almost going mad, we don't who to blame, crime is on the rise, people are suffering from poverty, homelessness and un-employment is on the rise even further. This isn't just the credit crunch either, the whole ideological pattern of Britain is crumbling. I feel it's a sad time thats only going to get worse.
