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?
One of the world's richest countries, minimum wage, NHS, low unemployment, few natural disasters, low murder rate, diverse cultural heritage....need I go on?
I'm not sure I understand your point? Are you saying that if things were different, then things would be different? I can't argue with that.
So you're saying the problem is a lack of murders?
What problem?
