To me, nationalism borders on racism. It's not terribly different from dissing others/promoting yourelf because of what region in your country you come from. And that's not terribly different from dissing others/promoting yourself because of your skin color.

Sure, the UK has social healthcare, but it's far from the only country that does. Moreover, a lot of Brits I know aren't terribly impressed with the state of the NHS.

Countries are a lot like families. Everybody's got one, but none of them are ideal. In particular, what purpose would it serve to go around telling people why your family is better than the others?
