    Default Why I hate Britain under Blair...

    Could Britain be any more of a shameful country than it is today?

    I mean I am proud to be British, but I am beginning to hate what is my homeland...

    We have extremely high and pointless taxes, people who are scum of the earth that scrounge from our benefits system, and make the honest taxpayer pay for a lowlife to live in a land of luxury where they can do anything they like without the law getting involved.

    We let in illegal immigrants where any other country in Europe or the world would not tollerate this...

    We give more money to countries that are ruled by crack-pot dictators than our own homeless on the street who are dying.

    We have one of the worst hospital rates in Europe, and we are the 4th wealthiest country in the world..

    No offence to any americans, but Blair is making us follow Bush into conflict without hesitation.

    We invade Iraq, yet nothing is done about the atriocities in Zimbabwe and other African countries with dictators.

    More street crime than ever, chavs killing old grannies for a fiver...

    political correctness gone mad...
    A country where any flag can be flown except the union Jack

    And a land where if you are burgaled and defend yourself YOU are likely to be getting a jail sentence....

    Where mr prescott is building houses on our greenbelt land like mad...

    aah, a green and pleasant land.........

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Deary me, we have another one, another bloody right whinger.

    Lent, I am not sure if it would be right to go through your comments and respond, because that would dignify then with a response, so I shall be brief.

    We have extremely high and pointless taxes, people who are scum of the earth that scrounge from our benefits system, and make the honest taxpayer pay for a lowlife to live in a land of luxury where they can do anything they like without the law getting involved
    Firstly why any of this is do to with Blair is beyond me. The Tories had the same level of taxation when they were in office and we had the most right wing leader in Europe. Secondly, we do not have high levels of taxation, we have fairly average levels.

    You say pointless taxes? When you walk on a road or at night when you don't need a personal torch to see, when you go to school or see a doctor.... Pointless? Taxes are not only the bedrock of society but one of the most valuable things a person does in their life. When you pay your taxes you show that you care for someone other than your own greedy arse, but even if that isn't your reasoning you can still think of your personal gain. Taxes are every member of societies debt to each other, a bond between people of a country.

    The fact that some abuse the system - and I would be concerned by those who don't pay their taxes rather than those who skimp and scrape at the bottom - does not make the system bad or wrong. It simply means there are problems with it, but the problems you mention are quite laughable. You seemingly have had a silver spoon shoved up your arse your whole life that you don't understand the reality of the 'lowlifes' - as you so elequently put it - which you seem to hate. Those 'lowlifes' though maybe not working, I can tell you for a fact, don't live all cosy comfy, they probably have it ten times harder than you will ever know, if they don't work then fine, but if you want to complain about their lack of comradery maybe you should complain about the conditions which we leave the poor in this country in, that is the real disgrace.

    We let in illegal immigrants where any other country in Europe or the world would not tollerate this..
    Read that in the Daily Mail? Or do you not even read that crap, you hear it from your friends in the playground? We are not even the biggest receiver of immigrants in the EU. No other country tolerate it? What bollocks, every country accepts immigrants because it is in their own best interest. Do you know what jobs immigrants do? The hardest, poor paying, filthy jobs in this country and every European country. Just like taxes our whole society is in their debt, but it is far too easy to bash them, after all they are only foreigners!

    We have one of the worst hospital rates in Europe, and we are the 4th wealthiest country in the world..
    Blame that on Thatcher - who you seemingly think is a demi God - she is the one who stripped back investment and ran our NHS down. I think you should look at the figures since Labour have been in power on results from our hospitals, you might shut up spouting such bollocks.

    political correctness gone mad...
    A country where any flag can be flown except the union Jack
    A country where to fly a flag in a racist manner is looked on as wrong - and I am proud of that. You may want a nation where to be racist is great, I don't. Flying our country's flag is never looked on as wrong or anything similar, but when it is hijacked and used as a racist tool, it is looked down on. I am quite glad we don't accept it.

    And a land where if you are burgaled and defend yourself YOU are likely to be getting a jail sentence....
    Maybe I am being incredibly old fashioned, but I don't think the idea of everyone taking justice into their own hands and killing, shooting, beating others on their own choosing is a good basis for justice in this country. It is quite right that if someone kills an intruder in their home they are prosecuted, I would not expect a burglar who kills an innocent to be let free, nor would I expect the same to be done for someone who shoots two teenager burglars in the back while they are running away.

    There is nothing wrong with our country, there is however a problem with you.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    I don't know for sure about going to prison because it kind of depends on the situation, but I would say it needs to be looked into. Could have been someone making it seem like a burglary, but really murdering someone. It's happened in the US before (it was on 20/20 the other night)

    If someone breaks into your house I think you should have the right to shoot him, but you shouldn't really shoot to kill...

    The amount of force that can be used against someone who's broken into your home depends on context more than anything else. If the invader is attempting to harm you or your family then yes, lethal force is justified. However, very few break-ins are committed by blood-hungry psychopaths who want to slaughter you in your bed.

    The type of home invasion you're far more likely to encounter is one which has been purely motivated for a desire for your property. In this case, shooting the intruder on site simply to prevent him legging it with your consumer electronics is assinine, unless you believe we should institute the death penalty for burglary, and rightfully illegal.
