If you're trying to compare Britain unfavourably to the US with this comment then that doesn't really hold up.

People are sacked all the time in the US for bringing their employer into disrepute, and it doesn't even matter whether they actually did or not, since the employer doesn't have to give a reason anyway.

What? That's a clause with almost every UK contract I've ever signed. The US constitution doesn't touch on employment rights.

Id also point out that the UK is generally an extremely poor country, living standards for the majority are low, income is extremely low after taxes, especially compared to the states.

Britain compares itself unfavourably to the US on almost every metric that matters.
