Ok I sort of disagree with you but if I'm picking up subtle hints I would guess your left wing (Not that it has anything to do with how I feel about you)
Firstly if we have low crime rates why is it now that schools are implementing metal detectors due to the rising numbers of knife attacks in schools? Why is it more and more people feel less safe to walk the streets at night? Why is it that we are turning into a country where people have no respect to each other and feel free to verbally and physically assault others? Why is it with new 24 hour drinking laws there are more drink fuelled crimes happening? Why is it the level of drug use is increasing meaning more petty crimes are happening as addicts try and support their addiciton?
Secondly the NHS. Firstly a question for you have you used the NHS recently? Undoubtedly in a serious incident where your life is at stake then yes the NHS is the best in the world. However with operations like hip replacements and other non-life threatning things like this the NHS is rubbish. The standards are abysmall. My grandmother was admitted with alzemeirs (sp) after breaking her hip as well and it so bad where she was in the hospital that we had to clean her little area for her, bring her food which could be eaten (not the gruel she was given) and had to help her go to the toliet as the nurses didn't even empty her bed pan. There is also the cleanliness factor of the NHS, why is MRSA rife in our hospitals. The NHS is in crisis at the moment and this is a widely known fact.
Greatest contry in the world. Not a hope in hell. There are many other problems but the list would be too long
Schools in bad parts of London are implementing metal detectors. Your normal school won't change. People feel less safe to walk the streets because the media reports far more crimes and the British public get hysterical. Don't generalise everyone into the same boat Tom (is it?), just because some people attack each other doesn't mean everyone will. There are more drink fuelled crimes because the nation drinks too much, far too much. Drugs? Well I'd ban them all, but there are operations in place to help drug users that other countries don't have or that is as readily available.
NHS. I have used the NHS recently, I had a form of hepatitis and spent several visits up at Kings College hospital. I don't know much about MRSA, however I will ask someone who does and will get back, of what he said last time (in brief) 1 in 4 people carry MRSA. I'll get more later. The nurses should empty her bed pan, did you make a complaint? Hospital food is poor, mainly due to a lack of budget for that area, however, I've seen schemes in place to make this change. Also note that when people are ill the tastebuds and body don't really want to eat given it's fighting x disease/virus, so food won't taste right. The NHS can be improved, but it's not in crisis by any stretch. When people can't get emergency treatment, when there aren't enough doctors to perform emergency medical procedures then it's in crisis. We have no more problems than other countries have. I wouldn't live anywhere else, mainly because I won't believe the media hysteria that joe public likes to believe.

Yes, Iraq was neccessary . Weapons of mass destruction . Had nothing to do with USA wanting their oil and Blair being Bush's lap-dpg
People still believe that oil is behind the invasion?
Which is why the revenue from the oil in Iraq is going to the ..A..Iraqi people. I wouldn't have gone to Iraq, I don't think we should've gone. But what's done is done and we should focus on the positives of freeing the Iraqi people and destroying a dictator.
-Cold
-No good beaches
-Crap at sport
-Crap beer
-Is run by a woman...
And UK is the greatest country in the world
No good beaches? Not everywhere is shingle Hooper
Much of the south coast has 'real' beaches. Run by a woman? Well for a fact that isn't so, the Queen has no intervention in the running of the country, even if she did that's a very sexist comment. Crap beer? You're basing that on brand beer as opposed to country pub beer.
As for saying our women our crap, we don't call ours by blokes names!
Oh and good point on the Queen, Lee.
I remember a ferris wheel for some reason, that still there?
