Unfortunately there is very little of GREAT BRITAIN LEFT. We have no democracy, and are told untruths,(LIES)by Government. WE have third world, or worse, hospitals,and eduction. Crime and punishment are beyond words. Service people are treated very badly. The only good thing is that most people are decent and care. I will stop ther before I get too depressed.

This is what I dont like about this country.
I am not at all suprised to find that of all of the discussions "knife crime" has one page of postings but phone, text & email database has 40 pages. This is indicative of this country self,self,self. It seems that its more important to keep our secrets but not stop the KILLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We do still have some of our identity left then? We are always being told by the PC brigade that what is wonderful about Britain is its "rich multi-culturalism and diversity". I'm surprised this Top 50 hasn't been condemned as racist!
