    I have to admit I do get a bit perplexed at the problems you guys have in England sometimes.

    Gypsies?
    Travellers?
    No-Go zones / Sharia law assholes (he, he)
    lone wolf terrorism?

    what else is there?

    Anyway, I think to myself:

    Jesus fucking Christ people get your shit together, you're supposed to be the example around the world!

    And on top of that you have a fucking tiny island to secure, how hard is that? You are just a little island right? Like the size of Arizona right? I mean you could drive from shore to shore in like an hour right?

    Here is the U.S. we have 100 times that geography and population to worry about, so no more comparing our problems okay??

    Seriously though, if I was Police officer or a federal agent in your country I would assume to know what is happening in every corner of the country at all times. lol

    ok end of ignorant rant. :)

    • you're right.

      that is pretty ignorant.

    • No Go Zones and Sharia Law?
      Turn off Fox News, man, that quite literally is bullshit. That said, there are Sharia Councils that arbitrate private matters. ..

    • .. as there are in many countries, probably the US too, but they have absolutely no (none!) legitimate state power. At all.detritus
    • Sorry, "that can arbitrate" - I don't mean to imply they absolutely do. It's a free country, people can choose the form of their dictation in personal matters.detritus
    • Also, you do realise that the two most public-visibly surveillance states in the world are the US and the UK?detritus
    • Sure, China, Eurozone, Russia and Israel probably are as if not more capable, but in terms of entrenched laws and such.detritus
    • Gypsies and Travellers are synonymous with one another, despite what Sarahfailin might think - they've been around at least twice as long as the US has existed.detritus
    • And are, for the most part, only very localised, occasional and itinerant problems, mostly of a thieving and dumping nature.detritus
    • detritus i get it, you don't have to defend this. I'm mainly playing around. :-) the geography thing does perplex me a little though.HijoDMaite
    • I've gone on about gypsies these last few pages from a personal and local observation perspective - mostly because it's bemused me ...detritus
    • ...or I've been angered by dumping, which if you've followed anything I've writ here over the years is in keeping with my curmudgeonly old codger view on thingsdetritus
    • I'm not defending - just explaining and trying to dilute any weight or concern I may have implied. It's all good in the hood.

      Except for the gypsies.
      detritus
    • They've got to go.detritus
    • Realyl though - please don't be part of the populace that propogates the idea we're labouring under Sharia law and have no-go Zones. That's Sweden. }:)detritus
    • i helped organize some neighbors using the Nextdoor app to rally and kick out a bunch of tweakers that were living in and around a Home Depot parking lot.HijoDMaite
    • i had no compassion for their peril and all those that were taking advantage of parking their RV's and living there like all the time. I swear i smelledHijoDMaite
    • meth cooking around there when walking my dog, and worst part is my daughter walks through there to go to school every morning. Cops said they couldn't doHijoDMaite
    • anything and Home Depot manager said the same. after a few phone calls every trailer, rv, and abandoned car had a sticker one morning saying they had threeHijoDMaite
    • days before they would be towed away. when night came we all came out with a beer in our hand and watched all that riff raff get towed away.HijoDMaite
    • tow truck drivers told us plain and simple if they are allowed to "camp out" they will do it and word will get around.HijoDMaite
    • this no go zones / sharia bullshit really makes my blood boil, as Det said ignore Fox News.fadein11
    • why are you so freaked out by how small the UK is? I can understand struggling to comprehend the vastness of something. Somewhere enormousFax_Benson
    • somewhere bigger than you've ever been before. But surely you've been to loads of places that are < 400 miles wide.Fax_Benson
    • a small country is completely fathomable. utterly comprehensible.Fax_Benson
    • I guess that's why Brits revel in the sad detail of the mundane while US folks are contented by simple shapes and colours and whether something isFax_Benson
    • near or farFax_Benson
    • lolfadein11
    • haha... nothing but butthurt brits responding... although when you butthurt brits speak up about our guns and KKK you come off just as ignorant ;)PonyBoy
    • I'm not being serious.Fax_Benson
    • Although you should get rid of all your guns and stop being massive racists.Fax_Benson
    • :DPonyBoy
    • Not literally bullshit because that's the guff that comes out of a bull's arse. Though your post is almost quite literally ignorant bullshitset
