British Exceptionalism

Via gillo.

With government ministers reportedly considering a negative ad campaign to deter potential immigrants from coming to the UK, the Guardian asked their readers for their tongue-in-cheek suggestions for what aspects of Britain should be included in the campaign. The weather, our transport network, and our politicians were all popular suggestions - here's the best of the posters.

This one might be my favourite (I especially like the inclusion of ITV3+1):



(This is especially funny from my POV, as I originally came to England in my gap year for a three month course, and... stayed. But that's probably a story for later. However, I can see both the outsider and the British side of things, and am amused.)

They're definitely inspired! But then, there's plenty of material...
