The NHS is a wonderful service, certainly superior to the system the US has. The BNP are a minority party with no real impact whatsoever on policy. The overwhelming majority of CCTV cameras are privately owned, not state owned. We do have speed cameras, they keep the taxes down whilst punishing the assholes who put careful drivers at risk. They're one of the single best things for a governed country I can conceive. Fair enough. I'll agree to disagree. But personally, I like speeding, don't like socialized healthcare even if it is better, and prefer not to be electronically monitored out in public. allsmiles Posted at 11:51 am on Aug. 31, 2008 You've not even experienced chavs. Not very fond doesn't cut it.

WhiteDwarf Posted at 11:27 am on Aug. 31, 2008 I'm not very fond of the weapons laws, chavs, the NHC, the BNP or the omniscient CCTV system your government implemented. I can't remember if this is existing, or just another nazi policy the BNP is trying to push for, but I rememer hearing about speeding cameras on your highways that will snap a shot of you speeding and mail you a ticket? If that's existing, then that's another thing I dislike, if not, it's just another reason I hate the BNP. I also don't like the fact that Ireland is still split. Can't say I'm fond of the fashionable and condescending attitude towards yanks either. I've never been to the UK though so I don't have formulated opinions of the country. I have met quite a few English/Irish and one Welsh lad, and they were all very polite and congenial so I do have a high opinion of the people. All in all, I have a high regard for the UK, almost familial-like in quality. undercoverchic Posted at 8:48 am on Aug. 31, 2008 I really don't know much about the UK, except that some really good musicians came from there. I've always wanted to take a semester to study there, but I can't afford it. The literature coming from the UK is so much better than the stuff that a lot of American writers come up with. All I know of its government is that it's a parlimentary democracy. I've never met a person from the UK, so I couldn't tell you. the raven Posted at 8:16 am on Aug. 31, 2008 I would never live there, ever. I'm sure it's nice to visit there, but I don't jump on the uneducated bandwagon of people who want to move to England or surrounding areas because they think it's cool, when they don't even know the laws or quality of life.

Well the UK turned into a vassal of its former colony, which is kinda low.

I've heard london is very cloudy most of the time but it still seems nice. Sugar Rush made me want to visit Brighton. The people seem like they'd be nice but I know a lot don't like americans. the culture to me seems to be the middle between french and german culture and the us. bstodge Posted at 1:44 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 European food is pretty good...
