The UK is the biggest supplier of Independence Days
That’s a top quality joke that should have way more likes
Seems like in previous centuries the British have gone back a few years later and said "lol, jk" :D
Scotland next, thanks UK 💙
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Also the biggest suppliers of burnt houses. 🤣👍
“Not surprising at all, I live here” that was hilarious
This comment 🤣
So funny 😂
This guy seems to have his head screw led firmly on. It’s a refreshing view of the American citizen
He's a proper nice bloke isn't he?
Totally agree. So nice to hear opinions not filled with patriotic hate.
@@rossadamdixon
The stuff you get on the Amanda Knox is innocent stuff is horrific!
Just blind allegiance. Scary.
Agreed, when his first vid popped up I wasn’t expecting to like him, seen about 10 now, he’s great, love him
Exactly
As soon as I saw the Alabama, the beard I was very prejudiced, could’ve have been more wrong, I was expecting pure slander of the UK, this guys amazing
He does some ace videos
Oh no! This Yorkshireman is quite charmed by this Alabaman. Open and interested and his presentation is great too.
I feel the same way about him and Joe Rogan. Big guy, American flags everywhere, southern accent, and a genuinely refreshing perspective about Americans.
Absolutely spot on!!
Historically the south of the US has always been more pro British than the north

FYI: Our flag is not actually called "The Union Jack". It's called "The Union Flag". It was only ever called "The Union Jack" when it was put on a pole on a ship. "Jack" is the name of the pole.
Shut up ya mong its called the Union Jack
@@Russ-pi7bc better to be a 'Mong' than wrong. And you sunshine are plain wrong. It is called the 'Union Flag'. How does it feel to be thicker than a 'Mong'?
@Warped Sounds It's is an old 18th Century name. You can Google it but lets agree to disagree.
@@MrSearching4thetruth I have to agree, it is the Union flag but I also agree most land lubbers refer to it as the Union Jack. It is difficult to educate the ignorant when it's the majority view that is correct and not the facts. Also the internet fact is way behind the times. We have much higher available broadband speeds but most people do not wish to pay the premium for the additional bandwidth. This may also be the case in the States.

I’ve been to America a few times I tell you the thing that I notice constantly and that’s the lack of geographical/international knowledge. Unless it’s an American topic most guys I’ve spoken to have no clue about world issues. Maybe that’s just me I dunno
It’s because American news outlets only focus on American stuff. Unless there’s some country that America’s going to war with, but that’s about it
@@marcoroberts9462 yeh there’s definitely a bit of that but I think it’s deeper than that. Travel is a big thing in the UK and Europe (old colonial habits die hard) and I’m not so sure travel abroad is such a big thing in US. I remember reading some crazy stat once about the amount of Americans who own a passport. Was like 40%. I don’t know the UK percentage but I’d say it’s gotta be over 70%
@@petedavid5127 yeh I agree.
That's because most US workers get less than a week of paid vacation (and no guarantee that they will keep their job if they actually take it) here in the UK we get just under a month minimum and you can't be penalised for taking it

@@Lamedvavnik I agree with you. It should have been on the list. Especially after that video of that American woman boiling water in a microwave went viral.
I’m not sure this is a the best vid for U.K. v USA tbh... but liked the way you didn’t get rubbed up the wrong way or bristle at any of it... respect for that. A lot of Americans, AND Brits, not gonna lie, get offended by “who’s The Best” stats and discussions... I agree with you though, a few things on the list weren’t good examples, or even worth mentioning the rift was so small... but interesting none the less :) nice vid 👍😇 xxx
Edit: I’ve only recently found your channel and have subbed, nice one, good objective discussion, will be a regular... 🙂
This vid is alright but this was a poor video to react too & much better available. It is all that you said, plus very shy on facts & so lost me from the start with head of state cost. its all knowledge you can get in 2 mins on Google Yes £37 odd million on security gets taken from the UK tax money Pot, but the Queen also puts +£550m into that Pot voluntarily. so not including the £1.8billion the Royals earn for Britain each year in tourism etc. Uk taxpayers are still £500+ million better off & i dont no of another Ruler or head of state with the same credentials on their resume(c.v)
@@chrissearle6176 The Crown Estate, as a body corporate, doesn't belong to the Queen as her private estate does. George III gave it up to relieve his debt and liabilities. The powers of ownership lie with the Crown Commissioners who are resposible to Parliament, not to the Queen. The Queen doesn't "voluntarily" give Crown Estate income to the state; just as I don't "voluntarily" pay income tax.
It is daft to compare the Queen to the President, as their roles are radically different. The Queen's role is largely ceremonial; the President has paramount executive power over a nation with 5 times the population.
@@ProTantoQuid yes it is daft to compare the queen to a president, But they did.
If you can find 2 statistics or facts that dont contradict each other on this subject id like to hear.
Im not talking about the crown estate. The crown estate earns uk a mind whopping £2billion a year & of that she gets £170m Grant which pays for the Royal state affairs like wages, functions, state visits & day to day upkeep of state owned property. Palace maintenance & refurbishments are paid by taxpayers directly as they own it.
Her personal estate earns £736m a year, of which she gets £370m, that is taxed & for her personal
The queen is a nett contributor & after looking further into it, she is 1 of 3 that can claim this. Others being principality of Monaco & the dude that owns Liechtenstein.
Do you think the queen got issued with a bus pass? & does she send herself a card on her 100'th birthday? 😁
@@chrissearle6176 I think she will send a beautifully crafted copperplate letter in gold ink, to be delivered on a velvet cushion by a flunkey, with a recording of Gavin Williamson singing a counter-tenor Scarborough version of "Happy Birthday"; accompanied by Michael Gove on the lute.
Traffic control? Over here we have DOUBLE MINI ROUNDABOUTS don't know what pillock came up with that idea but they ain't bright.
One area we blow the US out of the water is with "Hollywood Villains". Where would the film industry be without British Villains? We're also pretty good at time travelling robots that struggle to negotiate stairs.
Things would be a bit more boring without British Villains for sure.

You are definitely much smarter than the rest of America with such justified and fair responses unlike a majority of the American reaction video’s ive already seen who seem biased.
There are some idiots in America but there are also idiots everywhere :) I thought America was full of them until I visited and met hundreds of genuinely kind people :)
@Kate Johnson I’m born and bred in the U.K... I know there’s many idiots in the U.K. yet America is stereotypically known for its idiots, sometimes i start to think the U.K. has more lol, it probably does. Most Americans aren’t idiots until it comes to politics...like denying climate change etc. But apart from that the majority of Americans are welcoming and kind people. Much more welcoming than any Brits to be honest
I love this guy he never gets offended he just agrees or disagrees
We could all learn from him 👍
I watched him listening to Accents earlier.. funny... but i as an English man learnt something today about wind power.. America needs to catch up with that one..
That is how we should all be instead of fighting and if you can’t tell your friend that his armpits are not what they should be. Then how close are you?
thats because hes normal lol most people dont get offended by things like this
I agree, one expects the average person to bristle with indignation in situations like this but he doesn't; he simply explains each of the points and comes across very well. I love how open minded he is. Not only that, these clips are educational too.
President and family have massive security. The one time when the Queens daughter, Princess Anne, was threatened with a gun; after the kidnapper had shot two people, simply refused to get out of her car and told him ‘not bloody likely’! He wasn’t to sure what to do after that!
One of the most entertaining afternoons I ever enjoyed was spent explaining some of the joys of cricket to an American over a few beers... come the end of that days play he turned to me a asked "who won ?" ... the look on his face as I explained the game was a test match and had another 4 days to run and even then, it could end in a draw ... he downed his pint in one, got up and left without saying another word 🙂
as a brit, can i say, this was a pretty weak promotion =/
there ARE some things some countries do better than others,
but lets be honest , if you ever believe you live in a perfect country ..... you need more education.
there is greatness everywhere, but on the other side of that coin ...
every country has its share of assholes.
big love to all people :)
Yeh well neither uk or us can claim to be perfect lol they’ve got trump and we have borris 😂
There are plenty of fucked up things here in the UK tho, they just kinda boosted all of our british egos lol

Something I’m proud of in the UK, is the fact that we don’t have a privatised healthcare, and that schools don’t double as shooting ranges.
Btw I loved the video, I just didn’t think the video we reacted to was an inaccurate representation on their current differences, and you did point that out, would be interesting to know your opinion on those topics
A lot of UK healthcare is privatised, we just don't pay for it (at the time)...I think privatisation is a good thing as long as it's still free at the point of use.
@@jonjohnson2844 yes I believe so to, It means that some pressure gets taken off of the NHS, I guess I didn’t word it that well, I should’ve said I’m proud of a tax paid healthcare for anyone in the UK to use
Privatised health care coming right up! Its already started selling small parts of it to US companies in 2017.. more to follow, we can't afford it in the future (or so they will say)
@@CROsigliere you're assuming privatisation means we pay for it, not true, although in Scotland's case how could they afford the NHS without England subsidising it?

As a Brit i learnt a lot in this vid! Officially though the national flag is called the Union Flag, it can only be a Union Jack when on a ship as jacks are specifically flown on naval vessels. One of those incorrect terms but which is in common use, everyone uses and everyone will know what is meant when using 'Union Jack'.
The variety on this channel is super good
Just a random thing, I sneezed during the video just as you paused for a second, so I appreciate that

That roundabout they showed was a ‘MONSTER’! Hardly any of them are that complicated, trust me....
That monster of a roundabout would still be preferable to a 4 way stop or a 2 way stop for a 4 lane road. I love when there is a roundabout because the flow of traffic is so much smoother even in heavier traffic.

Fun fact, the union jack is only called so when flying on a ship of war it's called the union flag when flying anywhere else....
The point is simple. A constitutional monarchy takes prestige away from politicians. The British don’t ever have to be polite to, or about, politicians.
We don't have to be polite about the Monarchy either although most people on balance are (although we certainly don't shy away from criticism of certain useless members of the Royal family)
But yes, very very few brits will have anything good to say about our politicians.
There was an MP sitting near us having a lunch/meeting in a pub near where I live last year, some bloke went over to him and called him a nonce, everyone around started laughing. It was a bit rude aye but this MP was a known cockwomble, he had recently voted for some not so upstanding things.

The U.K. can power a whole fleet of de Loreans taking them Back to the Future. I had no idea of the scale of wind power generated energy in the U.K.. Cheers.
Large scale wind generated electricity isn't cost effective both from a start-up and energy used compared to energy produced point of view. Nuclear power is a much better option and would provide more than enough electricity for centuries to come.

@@madabbafan my point was you said, " most of the countries chose to" and my point was and Itelsnd and America chose not too. What you say about Ireland is not altogether true.

This is a misconception it can be called either.
From :-www.flaginstitute.org/wp/british-flags-2/the-union-jack-or-the-union-flag/
"It is sometimes claimed that the Union Flag should be described as the
Union Jack only when flown in the bows of a warship, but this is a
relatively recent idea. From its earliest days, the Admiralty often
referred to the flag - however it was used - as the Union Jack. In 1902
an Admiralty Circular announced that either name could be used
officially. And in 1908 the UK Parliament approved this verdict, stating
that ‘the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag’."
@Din Djarin Dunno where you got that from, but Ookla has the Average USA Broadband speed at 170.88Mbps, and the UK at 80.91Mbps as of November 2020 www.speedtest.net/global-index soooo
@Din Djarin It's possible speeds by country have changed a lot since April/May 2020, especially with Covid and more people working from home/using the internet more due to not being able to go out so much. I know at least some ISP's have invested to have more capacity, because of the higher demand, wouldn't be surprised if they managed to get better speeds because of the amount they have to invest now either.

"Scientific papers per capita is a source of pride for the UK"? When was this? I wasn't even aware of this number.
Yeah of course it's a source of pride it's one of the few ways you can measure scientific contribution quantitatively
@@marcustrevor1883 Not sure on its usefulness. I mean, sure, its a number. but how does one prove its worth? Are there any other measures with which it has a positive correlation?
@@ToothbrushMan positive correlation to writing more scientific papers? It’s quite an obvious one. We make a larger scientific impact per capita than the US
@@dmg3736 It's an obvious measurement to make. But is it meaningful? If there were some measurement that we knew was meaningful, then maybe there is a positive correlation between papers per capita and this other measurement? But papers per capita might not be an indication of scientific pursuit, but also of just how easy it is in a country to publish, or how expensive it is, or all sorts of cultural factors, or even if that country specialises in a peculiar scientific pursuit.
@@ToothbrushMan it’s being used as a measurement of scientific impact per capita. UK papers are subject to the same requirements as US papers, they’re governed by the same international bodies. How cheap or easy it is isn’t relevant, the numbers is trying to prove how easy it is so publish a paper, it’s a measure of the effect on the international scientific community a country as and the amount of approved academic papers is directly relevant to that.

I'm from Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of England, if you go to the coast you can see one of the windfarms out in the distance. Anyone who wants to visit the UK I recommend the city of Newcastle for a great culture and historic buildings. Love from across the pond to my American cousins!
Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling happens every year and is the craziest sport in history and also you will love The Atherstone Ball Game, the most violent ball game in the world
I am from Gloucester where the cheese rolling takes place, a mate of mine won it once, But he is a lunatic.
@@owenoneill5955 I don't doubt it, northeners are mad fuckers at the best of times, let alone chasing cheese down a hill. But I love them to death
Yes!! Also conkers, shin kicking tiddly winks...

The Union Flag,when on land. The union Jack when at sea. Most British get this wrong too. Not a big thing though, we all know what they mean.
That's not true. The term 'jack' to mean flags is naval in origins, but there is no exclusivity in referring to it as the 'union Jack' only when at sea and there never has been.

@@wertrocks123 I stand corrected. Wow. I was taught it in school, too
@@m00plank90 We were taught that Pluto was one of the 9 planets of the solar system too, but I guess things change.
@@MrNikolidas true, that. And the amount of moons we have too. Keeps changing. Who knows, I might be right again next year. 🙄😂
We have cricket, rounders (which not many other countries have), netball and rugby which are the main ones.
Acutely the Royal family subsidies the UK government not the other way round as one of the previous Kings agreed for the profits from the crown estates to go to the UK exchequer in return for not paying tax and an allowance called the civil list. Also the UK and Scottish governments use buildings, artworks and many other thing that belong to the crown without cost.
Love your videos here in Uk/Great Britain/England
not interchangeable >.>
What he said....they are all unique and different
@@smoothie9931 True, but if you live in England then you can legitimately claim all three as your home "country". It just depends how precise you want to be.
@@jonb4155 indeed, slash had me shook
This is a really good reaction video, no outward animosity towards either country and what seems like an intellectual internal debate! Loved seeing this as opposed to the xenophobia and backward thinking portrayed by a seemingly large proportion of yanks
I've just found your site and I am really glad I did. You have a refreshingly open-minded and even attitude to life. I look forward to viewing more of your videos.
About wind power - BP and Shell actually own and build some of the wind farms and solar farms in the UK. So the oil companies can do it, government just has to legislate away from oil :)
The actual tech is mostly Orsted - though in general the engineering for oil rigs is not that dissimilar to that required for offshore wind turbines, ^oo^
They didnt mention Friday and Saturday night brawls and turning holiday destinations into warzones drinking everybody under the table and sense of humour incomplete list this 😅
Pint and a fight 🙏 weekend is approaching 🤣
On sense of humour.... he's got half dosen with uk comedians.... he's lovin em frankie Boyle killing his audience he was in bits
The British do indeed rule the world when it comes to anti social behaviour in a foreign country while under the influence of drugs and drink.
@@johnlever6696 its a quality i thrive at 😂
The Queen vs the president isn't a fair comparison, it should have been the Prime Minister vs the president.
The queen and parliament versus the US government.
@@thomashughes5243 I suppose it is for the head of state.
Would be nice to compare costs of the entirety of both.
You sir are amazing, keep doing what you are doing! From a friend in the UK.
My old mate runs a very large wind farm down south.
He was full of hot air back in the day when talking #### about bikes lol
He knew everything about engines but I found him hitting the barrel with a lump hammer to get the piston in.
He didn't know about ring location pins and put the piston rings over them.
Wouldn't be so bad if he was humble and not a show off, but you can't teach someone who knows it all ;-)
You should definitely react to the sport ruby if you like American football. Much more hardcore and makes NFL look tame
As you like American football you'd probably like Rugby which is kind of similar
if you played American football without the padding, you end up with rugby
@@jameswashbuirn580 totally different
@@jameswashbuirn580 American football is wayyy different to rugby
@@jameswashbuirn580 Lol no padding sure but come on they’re different sports 😂
True thing - I could have had 007 as an uncle if history had been a bit different,Roger Moore once dated my Auntie, He modeled for a local firm making suits and had a property on the outskirts of Bradford(believe it or not) before his acting career took off.RIP Roger Moore and Sean Connery . P.S. Thanks for being brutally honest,It's refreshing to see. All the best
Actually the queen is a net gain.
The revenue from crown lands (that she owns completely by all right) goes to the parliament and the parliament gives her money, in total the crown lands are more profitable.
+tourism.
Yep, she gets paid 25% of the profit her estates generate. For '18-'19 she generated $107.3 million profit
Its such a shame in regards to solar energy in the US...you've got states like texas and california....if it wasn't for BP Etc, you guys could live off of solar farms down there
Too much corruption, look up what happened to solyndra.
BP = British Petroleum so we're just messing with you.
What about at night?
all this green energy in uk, we have shocking high prices for electric and gas, and 60% tax on fuel. we also have very high food prices, even with saying that 80 plus % of energy is from natural gas what was coal at one stage
@@bulletproofguy5112 like wind farms, solar panels are set to store a certain percentage of the energy produced in a battery which is then used at night and during storms etc
In fairness you would really have to combine the costs of the royal family and the prime minister to make a fair comparison there. I bet it would still be cheaper though given those numbers.
Another thing with the wind farms- we actually own 8 out of 10 of the biggest off shore wind farms in the world! That 1.75 terawatts was just 1 of those, if you combine it with the other 7 in the list, plus the other smaller farms, we actually produce a lot, lot more!
I feel I need to clear something up. Although the Queen is technically the head of state l, she isn't really in charge like implied in the comparison video, we are still a democracy and have been for a long time.
Lots of houses here in the UK have solar panels on the roof, even though we don't have much sun.
Gotta make the most of it
We have one yeah. It heats out water, does a very good job.
Don't need much sun. I used to have a solar powered watch. All it needed was just the light
@Nicky L they seem to do well enough in the Arizona deserts, generating far more per acre than UK solar farms.
England is way older than the US, proved the IQ point there mate
"This isn't surprising to me at all" quote of 2021 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I live next to what was the worlds largest off shore wind farm in the Irish Sea near Walney Island Cumbria until a larger wind farm was produced around the Hornsea off shore wind farm off the East Coast of England. I believe Walney is now expanding further.
They forgot documentaries.
UK wins with two words - David Attinburgh
The man is a national treasure its sad seeing him now as i think he realises his time is coming to an end
And he is still going strong with the first episode of his new series today.
For sports look up best rugby tackles ever 💪🏽
KEERRRRRRUUNNCH
Magic Roundabout was the one with the large roundabout with smaller roundabouts around it. It is in Swindon, Wiltshire, England look it up, its mad but once you understand how it works it's fine. There are people who are scared of it and avoid it.
I have enjoyed binge watching all your videos. I love the understanding and respect you have for us and our British culture. Im from Northern England but was lucky enough to study in the US for a year while at Uni. I studied at LSU, Geaux Tigers!! Sorry Alabama :) . I loved my time in the States and it was an eye opener to see how different universities teach students....pop quizes were the bane of my life!! I was in the States in 08/09 and the friends i made became friends for life. Love to you and yours ;)
@Exploring Beyond I am in the Lake District, its beautiful up here :) . I am about 1 hour 30 mins away from Manchester and Liverpool
This guy is not at all the typical Alabaman stereotype, he has bare knowledge, respect man!
Not suprised sciance was on there, Briton came up with most modden medicines and a brit came up with theory of gravity and natural selection
WOW! I can see the London Array Wind Farm most days when I'm in town, but I never knew it was the world’s largest wind farm. I thought our Kentish Flats Wind Farm was big enough.
18:09 Another place where you can see the Union Jack is on the tail-lights of the Volkswagen Mini.
At its height, the British Empire covered a quarter of the earth’s surface. It was so huge that we could truthfully claim that the sun never set on the British Empire.
As someone from the UK i find myself cringing a lot listening to this, we should not be comparing ourselves to each other like this it just puts us into a sense of complacency, we all have unique aspects of our countries that are special and also many aspects that need to be improved and the UK has a host of problems too, i imagine you could easily make a video with the opposite title also.
The thing with the Internet speeds, some places in America have the UK beat hands down, But with America being so big theres probably places with little to no internet which will drag their average down.
How so? You can get 10gbit residential connections in both countries in "some places"
@@regnighc Where exactly in the UK can you get 10gbit internet and with which provider
At the end of the day it doesn't matter who's got what, who's best at what, the main thing is we help each other out when it matters. We have a saying, quality not quantity.
Another thing that seems to be missing is banking services, as a UK current account holder i can use a secure app to send money over the internet to another account or scan a cheque for direct payment. I think they're still on cheques in the USA.
Actually, the monarchy doesn't cost us any money at all. All that tax money we give her comes out of the money she gives the taxpayer in the first place.
I live here lol. We produced so much green energy on some days last year they turned all the fossil fuel power stations off.
I work for BP.
BP has the highest number of charging points in the UK for electric motor vehicles. BP is taking a huge stand on environmental issues.
I really like this video man. I’ve seen a lot of these where people will try and argue with these videos stuff like “hmmm I don’t know about that” love how self aware you are.
