<upd_detl>According to Wikipedia, it can refer to : 
    Football hooliganism carried out by British fans
    Depression (mood), in particular, hypochondria
    Sudor anglicus, also known as the sweating sickness, common in sixteenth-century Europe
    Rickets
    Homosexuality
    The English Disease, a novel by Joseph Skibell
    Writing compound Dutch words as separate words, see Engelse ziekte on the Dutch Wikipedia
    Perceived trade union militancy in the 1970s–1980s, in particular the Winter of Discontent and ending with the 1984–1985 miners' strike

I don't think it's necessary to mention them all.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>英国病 is not a translation of "British disease" but rather a Japanese-coined term to describe Britain's economic woes in the 70s.
Therefore, this needs an explanatory gloss. I'm struggling to come up with one myself, though.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>gg5: "かつて英国に蔓延したさまざまな労働管理上の問題とそれによる経済の停滞"
daij: "1970 年代のイギリスでみられた長期不況(インフレーション失業率増加など)や,その要因であると思われる制度疲労を病理的に捉えていった語"
jwiki: "英国病またはイギリス病とは、経済が停滞していた1960年代以降のイギリスにおいて、充実した社会保障制度や基幹産業の国有化等の政策によって社会保障負担の増加、国民の勤労意欲低下[1]、既得権益の発生等の経済・社会的な問題が発生した現象を例えた日本における用語である。フォレスタルの凋落は典型であった"</upd_refs>
