No matter how ****ed up politics are in the UK, I always relieve myself with the warming thought 'at least we're not America'.

I think you have it much worse than us. Thatcher was a ****, but so was Reagan.

well in terms of the surveillance state i'd say you probably have even less privacy than we do

but there are a few things your country does better for its people like paying for healthcare and education, that's nice and if i had my way we'd have that sort of set up here

but then you guys have more issues with immigration and that kind of **** than we do imo
