What is going on? Everywhere I look, the UK (an island that used to be proud and great) is exporting the most shameful and cringe-worthy people across the globe.
We have the pathetic, grovelling weasel Blair as a 'leader' who does whatever he is told and never fails to lick the boots of people who control him while making the UK look like a subservient state who bow down to the US..
We have Westwood 'repping the UK' on Radio 1 with his hideously embarrassing attempts to be a gangster even though he looks like someone's Dad.
(see my other question about HIM : http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnyeaV4dcRHqSkpufwTjeVggBgx.?qid=20070206143759AAJ4VIO)
We have Jade Goody, a fat slob chav celebrity. Jamie Oliver, Hugh Grant.. it goes on, and on...
Exactly what the **** is going on? Is there one big conspiracy going on to make the UK the laughing stock of the world? Why can we not export anyone remotely respectable?
What must the rest of the world think of us?

Simple! By exporting them we don't have to put up with them at home.
Though I wonder if the UK is the only country where it is cool to be stupid and embarrassing.
As for what the World thinks of us ...an island of mindless violent drunks ruled by a bunch of slimy politicians who belong body and soul to American interests. Some despise us, some hate us, most hate and despise us.
We are a country without culture or self respect...I despair!

The UK exports so many embarrassing people because those are the types admired by the masses over here. It goes to show how the country is declining

We can - I went to France last week.
This question reminds me of an e-mail I received recently.
It said:
Aliens are coming to take all the clever, beautiful, sexy people.
You will be OK. I'm writing to say Goodbye.

I couldn't agree more!
It's a sad state of affairs, at the moment I think we have a cheek having the word Great in our nations name.

yeah! i ´ve lived in u.k and i thinks there is a lot of people that should be exported to hell and keep the great people there to represent U.K. as in the past times...But first of all they must abolish royalty...and free all imprisoned countries..

Celebrities are a reflection of the public that creates them.
The public voted for Blair.
Maybe it is our own fault!

We are trying to compete with other countries.
Look at the Americans, they make their embarrassing people into politicians
