what is a British value?

2006-07-15 18:36:01 · update #1

Sorry everyone, Please forgive my poor English grammar.

What do you think British value is?
for example,
To respect ours history and also respect ours heritage.

Include things like respecting each other; respect other cultures and other human beings.

......etc.

British values are about the same as any other countries values, a complete 'mish mash' of ideals!
The idea of all Britain's walking around or standing to attention singing "God save the Queen" , are quite a bit out dated!
Many people would like to see the Royal family put away some where. So really its not a good idea to generalise on any countries values! The old "British Stiff upper lip" thing has also gone out of the window!
As for "Do we love Britain or not"??
This depends on where you are now! Lots of countries do like Britain, lots don't for obvious reasons!
l think most Americans like Britain , but mainly because they think its "cute" and should be considered as a museum piece!!
Just a place for tourists to visit and photograph the locals !

Could you put this into English please ? I believe you have an issue with value and being British. Let me explain clearly. If you are British it means you can get into England from some place or other. However, if you are English, that means you were born here and are most likely lazy, rude, selfish mono-lingual and obsessed with football. You will probably drink to much and slope off from work early and take sickys all the time. This is the English way of life - you will also find when you go out to have a meal - that every English restaurant is closed by about 9pm if you're lucky and will have to eat Chinese, Turkish or Indian - nice thought that food is it may not be what you want. Tough you have no choice. You also won't be able to get your grocery shopping on a Sunday from a Supermarket after about 5pm and you have to have a license for the privelege of watching television. Basically England is living in the last world war and still has a 'lights out' and ration book mentality - I think I've covered everything - the word value is a misnomer - there is no value to living in this disgusting, mean spirited, jealous little country. Oh! Yes! Just one more thing ! We are subjects of that Murderess in Buckingham Palace and we have no bill of rights and we the public are described 'as at large', which means we are 'allowed' to live our lives!!!

As far as I can tell British values consist of:

Being as pig-headed as possible.

Driving really badly (except in London where there would just be gridlock), either driving at 40mph in town and out of town or trying to bully people into driving above the speed limit.

Standing idly by while people are bullied, even if you quite like them.

Doing the same as everybody else and mocking those that don't.

Voting for the party that makes you the richest, even if they increase the gap between rich and poor.

Good Grief, I think the person who wrote the last message should be moving out of England- what a misery!

By the way, it winds me up people are always confusing British and English as the same thing...Great Britain is made up of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, if you are from one of these places you are BRITISH.... or you can be more detailed about your nationality and define whether you are Scottish, English, Welsh or Irish..

I think some of the values Britain is known for (rightly or wrongly) are fair play and supporting the underdog.

Don't understand what you are looking for. Maybe you could clarify a little and write in English.
