What do you think of the UK (United Kingdom)?

Question

has Great Britain damaged their international reputation? if so, please give your reasons.

thanks

Answer 1

I don't think they have damaged their reputation. I think its their people trying to damaged it and the terrorist has damaged it also. I think UK is doing great and their business is rather as usual, perhaps they think so too.

Answer 2

I believe we damaged our reputation internationally, by illegally invading, occupying and having the hand in the murder of the Iraq head of state.

If we had respected international law this wouldn't have happened !!

Answer 3

Not a lot. My immediate ancestors sacrificed a huge amount (Battle of Britain, Normandy beaches, Burma, etc.) and I rather think they would turn in their graves if they knew the way 1,500/1,000 years of hard fought for traditons had been so easily surrenderd - in just 60 years.

We've been constantly lied to, misled, by vain but fickle politicians -swamped by immigrants - and our once United Kingdom is now a dog's dinner of a mess.

Unctuous likes of Bliar and the Clown have set up Welsh and Scottish assemblies/parliaments -with the absurd result that Scottish MPs can vote on English matters - but not vice versa !!!???

And over that same period - our special relationship with American cousins has gone sour - we're only half-members of Euroland and the lack of leadership borders on the disgraceful.  

Answer 4

Ask the women and children of Iraq most of whom were regularly beaten, raped and some even murdered by Saddam and his henchmen for no other reason than being there.

Answer 5

bbc.. train bombings.. scotch whisky.. johnie walker, chivas regal.. 555 cigarette.. white girls.. hmm.. well, nothing else..  

Answer 6

Great Britain still remain great reputation in the world ! only there are not  "  Strong " as before. during 50- 70s , when UK talk, hall world follows, now, other just don't care.but still give face,do not said anythings , just not to follows what UK is calling or doing ! Reputation still there, but not in Power. Asia countries need EU more than UK, and UK is the only  countries in EU always said "yes" to USA.but due to history , all countries still respect UK .and to all the QUEEN family.

Answer 7

i hate it here weather awful crime rate higher than anywhere the place has gone to the dogs

Answer 8

My home, so i am biased, but i am sorry its so overrun with people, especially some who do not have any vested interest in working for the benefit of all. Some actually as we have now seen out to do it harm.

Col  de        remember that its the politicians that run the country that do these things, not joe bloggs on the street

Answer 9

They have withdrawn their troops from Iraq, so their reputation shouldnt be bad. They are also revamping their foreign policies, and taking positive steps to improve their immigration, educational, safety and security, and civil law issues. The downside is their high taxi fares, property prices, rents, and high entrance charges to places of interest. And  some of their prisons are way too comfortable, so much so that criminals dont mind living it up there and a couple who attempted to break back in!--that's what i read recently.

  The Royal family remains a creditable institution and hope they remain so for as long as possible. Singapore and Hong Kong, the two gems of the East, i believe, had benefitted somewhat from Britain's administration in the past, esp in the building of many iconic buildings that have remained till today.

Just my opinion.  :-))
