One word to describe the U.K.

I would say “over populated” There are crowds everywhere and roads are so full of traffic.

Battered!

I would say full up.

Overpopulated

Beautiful

After 4 years in Spain, trust me, England is beautiful

I no longer consider myself part of a UK. My country (Scotland) in the main part, voted to stay in Europe and were taken out against our wishes. Conservatives haven't been in power here for decades but we had to watch while horrible decisions were made which affected us. I wasn't a Scottish national voter. I voted to stay part of the union in the referendum, however the poor decisions and corrupt behaviour have made me change my mind. I'm not alone, I'm sure. There is no UK any more.

I have got a trowel. I will come and help you move Hadrian"s wall down to the M62

Home. I love my country.

I for one would at least describe our voting system as highly civilised. No police with guns outside the polling station, nobody trying to intimidate you.
And a simple pencil cross on a piece of paper.

I fervently hope we never go over to electronic voting - hackers can get into anything nowadays, and I dare say will only get cleverer. I’m not altogether surprised that many Republicans thought their presidential election was rigged.

4allweknow I think we are a bit of an outlier in Europe regarding children and families.

Well said! Despite everything, I wouldn’t live anywhere else!

I stand with the WONDERFUL's.

For all its faults, it's still a lot better than most of the alternatives.

Could do with better weather though.

The UK has many good things that other countries don't have. France is heading for the far right and even babies pay to see a Dr.
USA cost son £100 for a simple mouth infection where its available over the counter here for approximately £8. Then there's the gun crime and schools being attacked.
South Africa never know if your child will come home from school or be shot, or car will be hijacked
Australia full of poisonous snakes and spiders
Most don't have a benefits system either
Our country has a lot of problems but we have a lot of good things too.
Seen the Smile train ads. It wouldn't happen here

Would have to say I lived in Denmark and Netherlands and loved both. One very basic part of life I really noticed moving to UK was children's behaviour or rather adults attitude to children in that they don't seem to understand children have an effect on the community. In eg cafés, restaurants, outside play areas, children are left to run amuck at all hours. Very rarely saw young children ( under 12) outside after 7 pm as they were part of a family and as such they were inside being part of a family or at least accompanied by the family if outside. People worked hard there too, it isn't all peaches and cream. UK just seems to keep making excuses for those taking lack of responsibility and that goes for Scotland too where I now live.

Gorgeous!

This literally true - due to isostatic rebound - in the south-east.

It's always good to have facts

Confused. Lots of good things here but we have a sector of troublemakers that want to divide all aspects of society unfortunately.

Doing-pretty-well-considering.
For most of us, it’s mostly been shouting and numbers on a page. Are YOU hungry?

Discourteous

Unkind
Uncaring

But I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. We can just hope for better times.

I object to the unpleasant comments re Tory MPs. They are not all out for themselves or 'self serving'. I feel that comments such as this say more about those saying them. I'm not voting Tory but neither am I jumping on a knee jerk reaction to slag off the party I don't particularly like.

You know what? I agree with you totally.There are good hard working MP’s in all political parties.

Sad but Mine!
