1. Not enough jobs.
2. Not enough industry.
3. Every inch of the countryside is farmed - no wilderness.
4. Population density is way too high.
5. Snobbery as a national institution.
6. Inequality is very high by European standards and the middle class vs. poor live in completely, utterly different worlds.
7. Too reliant on finance for GDP.
8. Sunsets at 4pm in the winter.
9. It's just a wimpy, decaying country.
10. Long working hours.
11. People are so indirect and bitchy and should be more upfront.
12. Botched privatisations from the Thatcher era and more creeping in through the backdoor.
13. Our health service is under attack.
14. We are more interventionist militarily in the world than we can afford to be.
15. We pay our Queen too much money.

These come to mind right off but not necessarily in this order.

Not enough national pride/patriotism.
Unstable economy.
Too much reliance on world market and foreign industry.
Too many liberals (more than 0 is way too many).
Too much greed/ selfishness.
Not a firm enough hand in diplomacy.
Not enough industry.
Too much of a nanny state.

-4 conservo-cred points for agreeing with a "sniveling liberal".

I didn't call any individual a "sniveling liberal".
That would be a personal attack and would cause a phenomenon commonly known here as "butt-hurt".

I was under the impression that the adjective "sniveling" applies to all "liberals". If you want to live in a country with zero liberals I don't know where you'd go. It's hard to find too many prosperous and civilized nations farther right than the US.

Can't a UK citizen just come to the USA, even without a visa? Maybe find a spouse here.

From you this is a compliment.
Thank you!

To paraphrase a line in The Sound of Music: how clumsy of me, I meant it as an insult.

Yes, but an insult from the left is always taken as a compliment. The more scathing the better.

wow! Pudding mouse for once we actually agree on something. If you weren't a feminist we would probably get on very well.

Absolutely everything you said is completely true. You did, however, forget to mention about David Cameron and his all out assault on the countrys' disabled.

Didn't you claim to be a 'taxpayer' in the lsd thread? how do you pull that off if you're 15...since you have to be 16 to work in most states?
