I can see you have not been to the UK for a while. Unfortunately we have many of the same problems that the US does.
- Many of the police are little more than thugs in uniform, and lost the trust of the public.
- University fees are rising. Not as high as the US but still pretty bad and taking decades to clear. In fact many will never clear then within the 25 year limit.
- Our foreign policy is based on an odd mix of delusions of grandeur and being America's bitch. Plenty of people hate us for it.
- Hatred of those on benefits is stronger than ever here. We are also very xenophobic and hate the EU, despite it being the best thing that happened to us in the past 50 years.
