I like England because I was born and raised here. I was educated here, and I am the person i am today because of that. Plus the free healthcare and freedom to do as I please is also an added bonus.

I dont understand why they do it. What does it matter anyway.
Bad things about Britain
no.1 crappy whether
no.2 NHS
no.3 the lack of halal sweets in English newsagents
no.4 speed cameras & traffic wardens
Good things
no.1 variety of food ie you dont have to Mexico to have fajita wrap.
no.2 more practicing Muslims then any Muslim country that i have been to.
Are you sure this wasn't supposed to be in the 'Good things about Britain' list?
If you get run over in Britain and are unconscious, an ambulance will race to pick you up, put you in a hospital, mend you to the best standard that modern technology can provide, and furiously search for any ID and contact any family they can find for you.
If you get run over in, for example, America (or most countries for that matter), and are unconscious, the first thing that will happen is that they will look to see if you have a health insurance card, and will only give you a could standard of care if you have already paid for it. If you are poor...you're buggered. There was a Michael Moore documentary about the US health system, and one poor man had to decide which of his two missing fingers he wanted sewn back on, because he could only pay for one of them.
Sure, the NHS struggles to cope with the demand of catering for over 60 million people, but that is mainly because it is a victim of its own success.
If you work near a hospital you can get halal food in their canteen and, if there isn't a mosque nearby, use their prayer rooms, they also hold jummah prayer there.
It is not perfect, by far, but on the whole it is not only a good thing, it is an absolutely GREAT thing. I can't think of a more Islamic practice than providing free healthcare to anyone or everyone, regardless of who they are and whether or not you know them. Muslim countries should follow in their glowing example (most don't).

Winter is the Springtime of the Muslim. Because Allah (swt) has made the nights long for worship, and the days short for fasting!
I love Britain because of the weather. i love rain and i love the cold. I love its summers and its winters.
I like the people they are on the whole innocent.
I love to live in a country where Islam is not the only religion.
Unlike my sister I do not kiss its soils when I get back from Pakistan because I also love Pakistan - but only for a holiday.
I love the English language because its the only language I feel comfortable speaking.
I am in love with England.
I am in awe of any piece of ground that bears my weight, and because on these soils I have laughed and cried and sometimes prayed I owe it a heavy debt.

Whoa. That was truly beautiful.
The woman has passion.
What a feeling she has for this green and pleasent land.
Do I like Britain? Yes! Why? Becase this is where I feel at home, This is where I belong! This is where I feel my responsibility. There are some aspects of British culture which I don't like, but this is why I want to stay here and to my bit here.
In a nutshell: Britain has potential.

I AGREE!!!
My friend went to Florida for a holiday n sprained her ankle
she had to go to the hospital with her mum because by the end of the day it was painful n the size of her head
they didnt have cash or insurane (obviously) so they couldnt leave until they paid! so her mum paid by credit card
wen they got back to england, her bill was £1600!!!!!
I LOVE the NHS
its not perfect of course, as recent govts are privatising some of its sectors every damn year, but at least I know that if I neeed medical help, it's there for me

I saw that!
I was shocked wen they went to cuba n that woman could buy her medication for five cents, which would have cost her hundreds of dollars back home!

i think they should i invent a law that with any drug alcohol related accident, the patient should pay themselves rather than rely on the NHS for their self-caused situation, providing it was their fault.

Nope its in the bad. I was thinking about A&E when I typed that. Once I had really bad stomach ache. When I ate it hurt, when I didnt it hurt, when I stood up it hurt, when I sat/lay down it hurt. The only time it didnt hurt was when I held my breath. I thought this is it my time has come. My life was flashing before me and I could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
After about 3 hours of agony I went down A&E and waited for 5 hours before a doctor saw me. As I went into the room I could see 4 other doctors sitting in another room having a natter! The waiting room is full of people and they are having a natter! Anyway it only turned out to be heartburn (the worst kind) but thats not the point. If I had been dyeing by the time they got round to checking me I would have been dead. The NHS never use to be bad but recently standards are declining. My hospital (Tameside) has the second highest death rates in Greater Manchester. Bolton is first.

Never ever make the fatal mistake of not getting travel insurance. The most I go for is a week but I ALWAYS get travel insurance coz you dont know whats gonna happen. The most it costs is like £7 and as long as you get the bare basics ie lost baggage, flight cancellation and medical expenses your sorted.
Alhumdulliah I have never been majorly ill abroad and thus have never had to make a claim on my insurance.

I agree. The NHS is already stretched enough and ppl who really need the help dont always get it because of scum like George best!

All members, please give your reasons why you love Britain.

I love Britain because:
1. It is the best country in the world.
2. Its people are unique. No one else is like us, anywhere.
3.
4. We are so generous and fair.
5. We are the freest people on Earth.
6. We the British people have the best brains.
