I genuinely used to love the UK, I grew up feeling proud of where I was from, who I was, and how the World viewed the UK ..... that hasnt been the case now for a long long time ..... very sad

as u may or may not no i live in nottingham which was renamed by the press as gun city 5 years ago. partly due to the marion bates shooting and a few others around the same time. its a sad fact of life now days the uk is fast becoming a no go area town centres pubs etc. i have had a knife pulled on me before just for asking youths to calm down in my local pub were my partner is the mangeress. dont get me wrong i could have gave the lad a quick slap and put him in his place any day of the week but when u have 6 inch of shiney stainless thrust at u it changes your mind quickly and im no chicken. one odf the reasons i along with lots of others whish to leave the uk is because of how kids are nowdays parents are as much if not more to blame for bringing them up like it in my eyes.
