I’m pretty sure the third item was meant tongue in cheek. I think most people realize that Great Britain is one of the most safe and stable countries in the world.

Besides, I’ve been to Britain, and while I loved it (and would move there for awhile if I could figure out a financially feasible way to do so–since I am a non-EU citizen), the portrayal of Americans as intelligent/competent was very rare. Unfair portrayals swing both ways, for better or worse.

Have you ever stopped to think that perhaps the people who came to an untimely end did so because it was their own fault?

Less of the British police bashing please. I know it’s trendy with all your “cop shows” to portray your police as glamorous and tough but we can hold our own too.
