According to this article in the independent -- http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/britain-is-now-most-powerful-nation-on-earth-8326452.html
and the main photo for the article is adele ... really? 29 million visitors a year really is quite amazing tho
Soft power , is the that a euphemism for the work those creepy foreign office types do or is it what we do really well -make good music ???
i thought we where only world champions at things like teenage pregnancy, personal debt and alcohol abuse....but having said that we do still invent quite a lot of stuff....we just cant make it cheap enough, so the chinese are champs at that.. 29 000000 people made a visit to the uk..when the weather is nice its a good place to visit...especially in a late bay.
i would say we need another perspective , its ok our newspapers telling us we are great at this that and the other but how do we really come across from another nationals point of view ?.
Wet, whining & full of Hooray Henrys & Henriettas > That's England Scotland, Ireland & Wales are much better
You're all jealous and tribal , if we let you lot run things we would be arguing over war paint colours- ruddy celts :
If the papers printed more good upbeat news we'd be more positive as a nation. But then I don't read papers so will always look on the negative side of life. >
