10 reasons why Britain is great

I am tired of reading the doom and gloom letters you receive. Why are people so grumpy and negative living in a country that offers do much?

Can I remind your readers why they should be thankful to live in the United Kingdom:

1 – A superb and varied landscape.

2 – An equitable, changeable climate.

3 – A population where the majority are hardworking, law abiding citizens.

4 – Diversity which enables us to experience and benefit from a wide range of foods, clothes, languages, religions and ways of thinking.

5 – Freedom of speech and of religion.

6 – Freedom of the Press to challenge and keep in check powerful elites.

7 – A vibrant economy which enables us to be affluent.

8 – Political influence which has a global reach.

9 – People who are fair minded, tolerant and care about others who are less fortunate.

10 – An education service and health service which still cause envy throughout the world.

Can anyone think of a better place to live?
