Vibrant multicultural society.
Open and welcoming borders.
Fairness.
Bringing peace to regions such as Iraq, Afganistan, etc
These are great achievement that are not to be underestimated in their effect on young Britains today.

Proud to be British - Friday drunk rant
When I were a lad, there were a few things that made me proud to be British.
In no particular order
Free Education - including university
No formal written constitution
Unarmed police
No military service
No Id card
The NHS
The BBC
Trial by jury
Given that these are now tulipe/abolished/on the way out, what do the young of today feel proud of?
Apologies if this is worse than the usual tulipe I have posted, but I am particularly pissed at the moment.
Have a good weekend all.
