Why the UK sucks:

Don’t get me wrong there are some good things about this Island, but - I just can’t quantify them now, so I have compiled a list of why it sucks:

1. It’s a scrufy dump.

For the most part, the UK is a shithole. Dilapidated towns and cities are rife, although some nice towns exist they tend to be self-righteous and snoby. The rest has a general feeling of malaise or something - it’s basically depressing to look at.

2. It’s violent.

Now I’m not no prude or some softy, but the UK is a violent place. In fact I would digress Salford in Manchester makes Detroit look like Disney Land. Even recent immigrants here agree. You are more likely to get your head kicked in, robbed, knifed, or be a victim of other random acts of violence than any other so called first world countries. The odd thing is it’s getting worse, every day someone get’s beaten or stabbed. Pickup any local rag and read the front page and interior pages to get a synopsis of this. Also we are now on StreetCrime number 4, I think this is going the same way of the “Now” series of music cd’s. I mean what kind of country has a “knife culture?”

3. The weather.

It’s cold, damp and wet. Even in summer expect rain and wind. Summer seems to last about 1 week. If you have joint problems this is not the place to live as the air is very damp and cold.

4. It’s too expensive.

I wouldn’t mind the cost of living if the place was amazing. But it’s not. It’s expensive on everything from cars, to fuel and housing -in London for example expect to pay about £250,000 for a small flat above an Indian takeaway, to paying for TV licences, bank charges, income tax, tax on goods, stealth taxes and tax when you die…great. It’s a very expensive place to live.

5. The National Anthem.

Why the hell we sing “God save the Queen”, I have no idea. I don’t want to save any Queen, have no interest in the Queen and don’t feel in anyway patriotic, to her or her song. The other song ‘Rule Britiania’ seems to scream racism and bizarre thugish nationalism more than anything.I much prefer Italy’s uplifting and jolly national anthem.

6. It’s cuisine is terrible.

Cuisine is actually a French word. At least America has the burger, all we have is greasy fried fish with soggy chips. Although we do have some of the world’s best chefs and restaurants, overall English cuisine consists of egg and bacon - hmm maybe not that bad in this aspect.

7. Divided.

July London bombings prove that the UK is no longer safe. The bombers came from Leeds in England. We have a divided nation - on one side loony BNP loving white trash, and on the other disenchanted religously warped Muslims. In the middle we have a bunch of east european immigrants, twead wearing land owners.

8. TV Adverts.

Might seem strange to put this on my list, but the UK has some of the most annoying adverts I’ve ever seen, from Halifax, to Shelia’s god damn wheels, to confused.com. The Halifax adverts have been going on for years, each time I see their adverts I have to flick off.
