British are bunch of thick people ruled by a mafia, says Iran's vice president

[walesrob]

i really dont think anything said by an Iranian leader has any relevence outside of a small group of despotic leaders. The world at large recognises the importance of GREAT Britain, and it is still a GREAT country.

Funny thing is, wherever I've been in the world, many people haven't heard of Great Britain, but instead its England this, England that. Even in Europe, I've come across people who've no idea where Scotland or Wales is.

...... people who've no idea where Scotland or Wales is.

Cameron.... The Godfather

No dear, I'm Welsh, I don't live in cave, and couldn't care less about America. So therefore, nope, I'm not Bin Laden.

Who is this Cameron guy?

I think you'll find the Cameron guy is not in charge of the Welsh Assembly, its some guy called Carwyn Jones. Do try to keep up, we've had devolution in Wales since 1997. Shows you don't know much about your own country.

You have a point there, I sure the yanks think London is a country and they have`nt a clue where their language originated from, and the Israeli`s call it Londonstan.
Yet Scotland is known around the world for other reasons rather than the great scholars and inventions its gave to the world and Wales hardly at all despite their contributions.
The last contribution we made to the world was the WWW, have we done much since?

I understand what you are saying Rob, although I am English, I consider myself to be British and always say I am from Britain or the UK, even though my user name says Englishman
I feel that as the main language of the Uk is English and 80% of the UK population is English there will always be a bias towards the term English being used.
I find it strange that in some parts of the world some people think the UK and US is the same place That's probably got far more to do with our Foreign Policy of kissing America's ass all of the time than anything else though.

[Pete/London]

Well I dont think we are thick but we have had a constant run of thick governments, thick skinned too. Europe thinks we are thick as they have taken us for a ride for years and we have been dragged into 2 wars like poodles. I`m hoping that we are starting to become so pissed off that we air our gripes and look for changes. Our schools have been dumbed down, no discipline and our stiff upper lip has vanished. Abusive language on TV like its the norm, I hope public standards make a comeback.
