I`m no Thatcherite,but in 10 years of Blair rule we have gone even further down the crapper,the working man is taxed to the hilt to fund indolent scrotes who will never work,the honest persons rights are put behind those of people who attack or rob them,the `English` have become a non-race-eg on the recent census you could be Welsh,Scottish or British,but not English(although you were ok to put Jedi as religion).we are going to have to work til we drop as the pension pots are going to be worthless.If you drive a car you are made to suffer with sky high fuel costs,a road sytstem designed to cause delays and inconvenience(to try and force us to use public transport which is dirty,unreliable and expensive)and speed cameras everywhere to fleece you yet again,but curiously very few signs telling you the exact speed limit in the vicinity of the camera.when criminals are caught they are given feeble punishment if any. Rule Brittania! ;-)

Now, that's whining. Sorry, Bill (English good manners, see). Life in Britain is like life anywhere else: shit when you look at it that way, not so bad when you look at it another way, not as bad as it could be, could be better especially if you try to do something about it. And don't ever watch Big Brother.

I'm careful about judging or thinking I know the US on the basis of its own entertainment output. Others should be even more careful about judging the UK on what you see on TV. I don't think I've ever seen a representation of anything British in an American TV programme which was accurate. I don't really mind, except when I read invective like I've been reading in this thread written by people who have no idea.

Obviously, that's not Bill. Bill's POV just comes under how-you-look-at-it.

You honestly can't be serious.  I can't think of any world where "great reader experience" and "a sodomizing Peter Pan" would go together hand-in-hand.  I can, however, think of a world where taking established children's characters and making them pornographic objects is sick.

Jay, you're being contrary. JB makes it perfectly clear that he's talking about what he thinks has happened since he left, and is Portugal a better vantage point for the UK because it's geographically only a few hundred miles away? I specifically addressed that poster's stated primary source, which is TV.

The only way to know much about living in Britain is to live in Britain, and I've just been addressing Bill's post.

It will save time if you read what I write before you disagree with it.

I thought he'd retired. In any case, his ABC work is finished, I believe.

Now, I like most of Alan Moore's work, but more LOEG? One made the point, two drove it home, three...?
