I got out of London in 1987. Knew when I was a kid I would, but thats a long story.
When I visit London I notice stuff that residents dont, the rules and regs. are just getting out of hand. I have told my wife about it, but she never took too much notice. We were in England june this year, first time in a couple of years for her, she was amazed. The airport was crawling with armed (and I mean seriously armed) police, everything was checked, then checked again. Even traffic wardens outside the airport behaved like they were the police, seriously it was scary. Friends and family just sort of shrugged and said you learn to ignore it and what can we do about it anyway? That is the most scary, people are just accepting one insane law after another. I mean things like being fined for putting your rubbish bin out on the wrong day, it can result in a fine bigger than if you get caught for burglery!!! I'm trying to get family n friends to open up to whats going on, but am sorry to say that the general reaction is "what can we do about it?" The UK is seriously far down the road of total control and it is ganna have to stop. Good thread
