Reader comment on item: Londonistan Follies
in response to reader comment: I hate Britain on so many levels, only few can be mentioned

Submitted by John (United Kingdom), Aug 27, 2012 at 08:00

In 2011, USA had a homicidal count of 12922 whereas the UK had 722, unless you cannot count the UKs count is significantly less than USA. Also I believe that Sir Tim Bernard's lee had invented the world wide web and guess what, he was BRITISH. Also I don't think anyone has ever said the UK created rock and roll, but over the past 4 decades, Britain has had some of the best music ever created ranging from the Beatles and The Who to Fatboyslim and Elton John and so on. The US have also been the centre for war scandals from supposed friendly fire on NATO soldiers ... So before you attack the UK, I think you need to do a bit more research.
