Now, they have a system that I call "easy-chair socialism". Its a decadent political and social system where no one has to work too hard or risk anything in any way. The women are easy, the wine is good, and everyone (everyone, that is, who bothers to work at all) has 15 weeks vacation. Has europe produced one great military leader in 50 years? One great captain of industry? One great ANYTHING? Nope...its easier to sit back in the easy chair.
As for the UK...the scary thing is, they are probably the best of the whole sorry lot (except for the Russians and Serbs...who both have some fire left).
I read a story recently that sums up the UK quite well: A thug broke into a guy's house. The homeowner pulls a FAKE gun and calls the cops. The police arrive, and arrest the homeowner for "instilling fear in another person with a 'gun-like object'. The thug was out of jail quickly, while the homeowner was still in the slammer. To top it off, the thief got to TESTIFY AT THE HOMEOWNER'S PAROLE HEARING as to whether he was "worthy of early release".
I submit to you that any nation that allows that to happen is finished. The UK is no longer the nation of Drake, Nelson, and Victoria.
We should have let the Nazis have them.
Yes we are. Don't fall for that Russian propaganda that they love the USA and want to be its best friend. If the Russians love you so much why do they continue to sell weapons systems and nuclear technology to China, North Korea and Iran? Remember who your allies really are.

Yes, Britain is a victim of statism and "Political Correctness", but not all Britons agree with it. If some career burglar broke into my home and threatened me, then I'd shoot them on general principle and to hell with the consequences! Personally, I'm seriously considering emigrating if the government bring in ID cards, especially ones with fingerprints, DNA profiles etc. '1984' really is in the future for Britain.
