I'm almost stunned. I've never heard such a positive piece about Britain. In fact I'm struggling to think of the last time I heard anything positive about Britain. Was a joy to watch. Thank you.

Just moved to the UK from South Africa and what the UK offers is opportunities based on merit with a reasonably good social safety net. Those born and living in it probably don't realize how good it is here, as we do having come from a country that rejects us based on pigmentation.

We'll fight for this country, our adopted homeland, because it, and its natives, offer a way of life rarely seen.

Wait, we're rich?! Well this has been a well kept secret from me

I'm American. I now live in the UK. Moved over on an initial work placement and now made it pernament. I absolutely love life here. Far better quality of life back home. Brits like to put their country down but I think a lot are not sure that any problems they have often go hand in glove elsewhere around the world. It is certainly a better place to live and raise children than America. ❤ 🇬🇧

Born in London sometimes you forget to appreciate what others can only dream of!

I think it is we Americans who under estimate the UK. It really held its own during WWII and had a vast navy with a pretty capable air force and army, winning the Battle of Britain qnd kicking the Germans out of North Africa.

We also under estimate their contribution to pop culture in the forms of music, movies and televisiin.

Though I'm not from UK, UK is the country what is in my heart and soul.
I love British English, culture, education, civics, laws, and rules and regulation. I do always have greater love for the United Kingdom, the best country on earth. ❤❤❤

thank you, worth mentioning the UK’s universities. Research, innovation and tertiary education that is world leading

Born in northwest of England in Blackpool and you wouldn’t think that we were rich at all.

Was getting mildly homesick when I heard Manchester and then I saw a Sainsbury’s and immediately was fine, greetings from New Zealand.

1:27 Don’t forget that Liverpool and Manchester are just 34 miles apart from each others city centres and there are plenty big ish towns in between. There is a combined population of over 6 million from each others city regions and the towns in between. Then you have Bradford and Leeds just 30 odd miles past Manchester and border each other

It’s nice, as a Brit, to see something positive for once. I believe our culture engenders a sarcastic way of looking at life, ergo producing a pretty negative image any time anything goes wrong with our nation. I think it’s time people look on the bright side for once - maybe then we will see more positive results…

The UK must stick People forget how small it is. Better and stronger united

Im from Turkey, have been living here in UK for 2 months now. I absolutely love this place 🇬🇧❤

I expected this to be another video telling brits they ought to feel guilty about being alive and disrespecting our ancestors. But it wasnt. Good show my man. 💯

The UK countryside is also so beautiful. As has been said UK people are very self-effacing and sarcastic - completely the opposite of say the US - this can put a negative spin on the country. Only when you travel, work and spend time in these countries (not 2 week holidays!) do you realise how lucky UK citizens are.

UK is such a big market, man they are partners with EU, USA and also many of its ex-colonies such as India and South Africa and countries they have huge influence like Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore 👏
