Facebook like box is not working, why is that?

Question

I am trying to implement facebook's like box to a site I am creating atm, but it is simply not working. I inserted the needed code, and nothing is being shown on my site. I am using localhost to test my webpage, this is the code:

<html xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#">
    <head>
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="fb-root"></div>
        <script>(function(d, s, id) {
        var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
        if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
        js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
        js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1";
        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);

        }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
        <div class="fb-like-box" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/foofighters" data-width="175" data-height="250" data-colorscheme="light" data-show-faces="true" data-header="true" data-stream="false" data-show-border="true"></div>
    </body>
</html>

Thanks!

PS: I am not developing a site for the Foo Fighters, it is just a "dummy" site atm xd

You need

js.src = "http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";

instead of

 js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1";

try:

<html xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#">
    <head>
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="fb-root"></div>
        <script>(function(d, s, id) {
        var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
        if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
        js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
        js.src = "http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);

        }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
        <div class="fb-like-box" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/foofighters" data-width="175" data-height="250" data-colorscheme="light" data-show-faces="true" data-header="true" data-stream="false" data-show-border="true"></div>
    </body>
</html>
