The UK is FUCKED right now... Yeah, it's not fucking Fallujah but it's nowhere near where it should be. We have some problems - that will HOPEFULLY start to get sorted when we get this shitty Labour government out and the conservatives back in.

This is a country where you DO serve 2 years for murder (admittedly the guy claimed he was temporarily insane)... I met him. I talked to him. The guy was NOT insane. But that's another story.

Burglars in this country are NOT serving ANY prison time whatsoever.... Because our prisons are too full.

Kids roam the streets and cause all manner of trouble, and the police DO NOTHING... There's nothing they CAN do.... I had bricks thrown at my house. I had a log thrown at my head, that missed by inches... And what did the police do? Fuck all... They have no power... And I live in a decent area. I wasn't allowed to film the kids terrorising my neighbourhood, because *I* could have got into trouble... (police woman told me this on the phone)... And I couldn't dish out any punishment, because again, it'd be me on the chopper.

The kids know their rights. The criminals know their rights. And we live in a country/continent where the criminal seems to have more rights than the victim.

The only thing you can do here when the criminal gives you shit is call the police... and it'll be a special day if they turned up within an hour on a 999 call... Don't say I'm being a fucking drama queen, this is real... And this year.

We moan, because we have lots to moan about... Yes, Britain is STILL great, but it's great because of what we did in the past, not because of the mess it's becoming.
