The United Kingdom(s)

The UK, the supposed land of milk and honey, or so they say. If your an asylum seeker or an ethnic minority (should that be a majority these days?), then I guess it is. For the average Joe living here however it's more the land of sour milk and wax.

Why? I'll tell you why. The UK is the land where you have to pay for a £135 yearly licence to watch the damned TV, which in my view is a violation of one of our basic human rights which states that every citizen of Europe is entitled to free, unrestricted access to electronic media. The Television licence contravenes that....

The UK is also the land where you now have surveillance camera`s on virtually every street corner watching your every move, and Gatso camera's taking snapshots of your vehicle number plate the moment your speed creeps a few MPH above the stated limit, apparently all in the name of safety.

Let`s examine that shall we?

I have a surveillance camera not a hundred yards from my home, the children regularly climb the pole and hang broken bicycles from it and break car windows in the car park nearby. Result, no police intervention whatsoever and the kids continue to wreak havok. Park a car there without a tax disk however and their on you in seconds, likewise if you park on a double yellow line (unless your driving a police car that is) which strangely seems to be exempt from the laws affecting the rest of us.

I only wish I'd had my camera to hand when I witnessed that particular double standard.

The UK is the land where you can get stopped by the police for having a number plate that is too small, I was stopped just last night and fined £30 for the privilege of having a less than billboard, wind-breaker size plate on my bike, the reason quoted by the officer in question being that the Gatso's have difficulty reading the smaller numbers and letters. Explain why I was snapped by one of these bastard things a few months ago with the same plate then and the fine still found me!

Bollocks!

Someone once asked me what sort of a country I thought I would be living in if the Germans had actually won the war. I'll tell you what sort of a country it would be, it would be like the UK is now with the aforementioned camera's and the little Hitler traffic wardens making everyone's lives a misery. Police officers regularly stop me on the streets and demand to know where I've been and where I'm going. They also ask me to produce identification to prove who I am, and all this just to go down the road to buy a portion of damned chips!

Sound familiar? Goosestep anyone?

It seems that we now have more bloody Muslim's living in this country than anyone else, they frequently threaten violence and sponge vast amounts of cash from the state (the ones that are here legally that is), the rest have simply disappeared into the black market to plot whatever it is they are plotting in the shadows. If I walk into a garage or a bank in the UK, I must remove my crash helmet so that the surveillance cameras can see my face. Fair enough you might say and I'd agree, I mean, I could be anyone couldn't I?

If I was a Muslim woman however, I can go into both of these places with just my eyes showing through a ridiculous, letter box style slot in my Burka, and if anyone tells me to remove it, I can scream racial discrimination and take the government to court for a substantial amount of money. Seems a little strange to me. In our current climate, isn't it these very minorities that are supposed to be the most likely to cause trouble now?

The United Kingdom(s)?

You can keep it, if I had the means and the money to get away from this place I'd be out of here tomorrow, why anyone would want to live here is completely beyond me and that my dear readers is a sentiment that is growing exponentially.

I'm off for some chips, let's hope I don`t get frisked by the old bill.........
