This week's been all about the Daily Mail and why people love or hate their country. Tell us one thing you hate about Britain, and one thing about why you love it.
This shouldn't be an excuse for RACISTLOLS, or long lists of things you dislike. Be intelligent, be funny, and be interesting

We don't often do "community" in London. Not in the centre anyway. But on 7/7, people were banding together in search of locations they'd only ever gone to by tube, helping each other with directions - so far, so like any other country.
What - possibly for the first time in my life - filled me with pride at Britishness was the pub I stopped off at on my long walk home.
1) It was full
2) Everyone was debating where they should've let the bombs off to bring London to a more successful standstill.
Some people reckon you shouldn't make light of events like this, but I think you definitely should, and that's why it failed in its goal of terrorising us. Back on public transport the next day, along with most others.

I'm pretty sure my long blonde hair confused him into thinking I was a girl though

Look at Malala, in the news this week; look at the Twin Towers; look at Omagh. In what way did any of these, or any other such attack, do anything but harm to the terrorists' cause?

the motivations of the people manipulating the terrorist are another.

I do remember after the Glasgow Airport attack in 2007 many people discussing what a crap job they did and how 'I' could have done much better. Reminds me of a quote from a GCHQ employee about how we've relied on the terrorists being crap and stupid and that seems to have worked fine, so far...
