"Politics put an end to England ruling the world"??
I wonder where you got that info from?, as I recall the facts England got their little butts kicked out from the places they tried to steal from the rest of the world!
Possibly with the exception of Suez canal when America told you to clear off, I suppose you could call that political.
Apart from that you were actually kicked out of every where else , Not politically asked to leave!!
Those are my memories, you are under an illusion just like most of the rest of the English, but you are actually only a little speck on a map.
My favourite moment in history was when the Scots
really whipped your as***, if the Scottish people hadn't been so busy fighting each other you English would no longer exist!
Hope this goes a small way to burst your English pride bubble?? And I hope you get really well kicked out of the cup!! Apart from that, have a good day!!

England is the best nation in the world because:
1) They are so tough, eating something called a kidney pie doesn't make them hurl.
2) Margaret Thatcher: even English women are tough
3) In what other country could you say "bullhoggery" and not get weird looks?
4) Elton John, Rolling Stones, Beatles
5) Their collaboration on the amazing Czech movie, Tmavomodrý svet (Dark Blue World)
6) British Airways: a civilized airline
7) Paris Hilton doesn't live there.
8) Whenever you want delicious food...France isn't too far away
9) Say anything in a clipped, British accent and it sounds sophisticated.
10) Monty Python made the 1970s bearable

Small minded Nationalist. What you say is factually incorrect but it will hard to let someone like you see that. What about the Contributions of the Welsh, Scottish and Cornish Peoples. Not to mention the substantial input of the Northern Irish. The English have always piggy backed of these people, but claim the credit as the more populous race. Even today, the ENGLISH parliament is run by predominantly Scottish ministers, to name but two, The Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It won't do to come on here claiming credit for what has essentially been a BRITISH Success and not an ENGLISH success as you seek to do.

You say WE & also that you mean England.
I think you will find, if you read your history correctly, that Scotland, Wales & Ireland all played a part in the British Empire.
Only an englishman would have put the question the way you have - an arrogant race.
Also, you are wrong, there is no one best nation in the world.

It is nice to love your country, but best to be true to yourself and people. My advice is to travel and see the world so you may have a benchmark for what it is and where is the best country?
Yes, you atre right, England ruled many parts of the world , but do you know why? and what is Britain is based on?
The answer for the first half is the GUN and the answer to the seconf half is Stolen resources of countries England occupied.

The British Empire ruled around 1/3 of the globe in its heyday. England only ever ruled Britain and a small part of France in its glory years.
Italy under the Romans ruled more than England ever did.
England's neighbor Scotland has produced more scientists, geniuses, inventors and kings than England ever has.

You arrogant, English t**t.
And you wonder why most of the world hates the English?
Once upon a time we owned and ruled the world (not quite that simple) but it's full of council estate, flag waving, dole receiving, imbecile chavs like you these days. Doesn't really command respect does it.

Do you know what...i am so proud to be English, but we are no better than any other country, every country has its good and bad bits.
I love being English but i also love being from Great Britain, as the Americans love being American and the French love being French etc.
We should all be proud of who we are and what we are, as long as you can go to bed at night and know in your heart that you have not intentionally caused anyone any pain, then we are all special, no matter where we come from.
