the diverse weather, we get all seasons. In other country's its hot all year round. Our history. we our the closest country to come to world dommination. We have had the bigest empire ever in history. We owned 3/4 of the earth. Our passion for freedom and our belief that everybody os entiled to it. How we stood alone for most of the second world war. How we fought to our knees to preventing the n***s getting world dommination. I am a native, my family's surname predates the battle of hastings and even the english languadge. How we our a small nation and we stick up for country who are backed agaist the wall.My freedom to stand up and say no.

The most powerful women to ever walk the face of the earth, and she was british. She made the most moving speech ever recorded in history. Britain was about to be invaded by the spanish, or so they thought.

My loving people, we have been persuaded by some, that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you, I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear; I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good will of my subjects. And therefore I am come amongst you at this time, not as for my recreation or sport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die amongst you all; to lay down, for my God, and for my kingdom, and for my people, my honor and my blood, even the dust. I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too; and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realms: to which, rather than any dishonor should grow by me, I myself will take up arms; I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. I know already, by your forwardness, that you have deserved rewards and crowns; and we do assure you, on the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the mean my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble and worthy subject; not doubting by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and by your valor in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over the enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.
