UK police state. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=562409&in_page_id=1770)
"Surveillance powers designed to track terrorists are being deployed by councils to crack down on littering, dog fouling and planning law breaches, a survey reveals.
Its findings expose the vast scale of Big Brother spying by town halls and brought urgent demands for "root and branch" reforms to curb the fast-growing snooping culture. "
Add the millions of CCTV cameras, the "bin police" (inspecting contents of garbage cans to check for recycling compliance) and you are almost to...

Wow, that's bigger than I thought.
No wonder they must import half of the middle east and africa to fill all those worthless, useless, municipal positions. Going through people's trash? America is going to hell but England is already there.

Ye nay sayers have misinterpreted this article. England is perfection and the U.S. is the pits. KV1M will straighten this out as soon as his keen eyes spot this blight on England posted here. :)
Nope, not going to deny it. The UK is on it's way to a police state.
Yet amazingly they are better at protecting their citizens rights than the US is. It's a matter of degree, the UK is rife with cameras outside your house, the US has made it legal to ENTER your house secretly.
The UK can hold you for 17 days, the US can hold you indefinitely.
The UK thinks it's a big deal when 1.3 in 1,000 of it's citizens are incarcerated, the US doesn't blink an eye at 7.4 in 1,000.
(You would have to combine Russia and China's incarceration rates to get numbers like that!)
Such a big deal that they are working to figure out what has gone so horribly wrong in their country.
The UK is on it's way all right. The US has been there for at least 5 years.
So keep on pointing away from your own mess if it makes you feel better, just remember everyone else knows the truth.

Ah, I see. The UK is playing "catch up". :rolleyes:
Perhaps from your position of influence there, you could stop this march into madness? :)

Oh, they've got a LONG way to go before they are as bamboozled as you clowns are.
I don't think I have much to worry about here, it's all out in the open.
You really are pretty boring lately, same old taunts and stupid spins.
As an entertainer you really suck.
