Daily Mail eh?
Don't get too depressed. Most of us who have lived in different countries know that there are good and bad things in every country. We put up with the bad things to enjoy the good things. It just happens that one of the bad things about the UK is the deeply ingrained social problems. Saying that, it wouldn't stop me from going back to live in the UK again though.
I just surprised that all the 'Daily Mail' readers aren't locked in their bomb proof cellars with shot guns at the ready!
