Rip off Britain

--- Quote from: "LandRoger" ---Remember there are a lot of countries where you cant say what you have all
ranted about -not unless you want to dissapear for a while, for all its bad points there are so many good points about our green and pleasent land,
go to Africa and try living without food and water for 6 months in mega high tempertures-hold your hand out and cry poverty no one is listening,
But you can at least go to social security and get a hand out -not feeling so good go to your docs or A/E -in other countries you get no help at all -YOU JUST DIE along with the other thousands, think yourself lucky to have employment , a roof over your head , etc etc -AND STOP WHINGEING!

Yep... this country isn't perfect, but we really have *no* idea what it is like to be hard up.. funnily enough we were talking about this in the office today.
Yes, we moan about tax, etc.. but maybe ask a German about income tax... or maybe ask an American about free healthcare....
The grass is always greener and all that... people keep saying "I'm going to leave this country soon.. " fair enough... if you feel that strongly about it... but I don't think you'll find many places which are the cornucopia we all would like.

The Roads are still beyond a Joke
Immigration is nothing but an afterthought
We wont mention the police, although they aparently neded 4.7% more this year to do Stuff All
My power was still out on and off for almost a week in total last period
Drainage round here and water pressure still sucks, or in the case of drainage, doesnt.

Surprisingly it does exist, & apparantly on a similar standard to our NHS.
the only differance is that you have to prove that you can't afford health insurance, or be prepared to be hounded by their tame (or not so tame) Lawyers trying to recover the money from you

I guessed there was some kind of health care for the low income in America but I did not know how the system worked until you just told me. Thanks learned one.
