Also into my country there's plenty of bad things, political corruption, people with a governative job who you'll never find at work and do an approximative conduction of the "res pubblicae", and lot of people who think to be cutest than others. And many frauders too.

The britishs who continue to support their monarchy...
Into your programs and cartoons is plenty of jokes against british, I saw a cartoon the Griffin's family where they were showing a british couple (husband and wife) doing sex and when the man had the orgasm the woman limited to say "well done George"...

good people are able also to smile about themselves and take it to become a better person.
