For a very well written summary of why the UK is so utterly broken then look no further than underdogs bite upwards.

If you want a taster :

A deficit that can only be paid by putting the country back to the Dark Ages and starting again. Dover sold off to the French. Power supplies sold off to any foreign country who wants them. Police who have to make a certain number of arrests, with no regard to the level of criminal arrested, and therefore achieve targets by looking out for easy ones. Schools that teach more Socialism than science and turn out students who know much but understand little. Children who believe themselves indestructible. Controls on every detail of life. People actively looking for things to be offended at. The law coming down on the side of those people who have found something irrelevant to be offended at. The law defending the criminal from his evil, elitist victim who thinks that just because he’s worked for something he should be allowed to keep it. So much more, too much to recall at one time.

And yet while there is so much wrong with this country, while the whole place spins into the waste disposal unit, what have our government declared as a priority for their attention?

The word ‘chairman’ is sexist and must be banned.

Yes, they’ve found something to ban and are bouncing up and down with delight.

Absolutely spot on as always.
