29 Reasons to Quit Britain
1. The most cited reason for those leaving is taxation. You will pay at least 25% providing you work: this includes NI, Income tax and council tax. However, on top of that rising water, gas and electricity bills, mortgages/rent, car tax, pension, insurance, VAT etc. I'm surprised we have any money to spend at all. You finally reach that £33,000 salary after years of trying to find that you lose over £13,000 to income tax alone. Yes you reach that threshold of 33,000 and bam!... your ass is fucked – tax is 40%. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/it.htm. And what do we get for all this tax. Widespread inadequate services, an easily abused welfare state and a big fat army.
2. We have the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe, yet liberal reality TV will follow around a rare capable teenage mum (who actually is oddly well-spoken and competent) and then claims that we all have a wrong and harsh view on teenage mothers, as she has a little cry for the camera, and that it is so hard for the poor (dumb and naive) things. Fuck that shit too. They bring nothing but shame to themselves, their family and this country. But, this government will pay them to ensure they continue their education. Let me the fuck out of here.
3. Chavs, yobs, scum. Anyone who thinks they have the right to be above the law. The country has it all. A constant flow of stories about respectable old men defending their rights and possessions from yobs only to end up dead or disabled. Read below for plenty of hate for these undesirables. This government is obsessed with not punishing young offenders.
4. Services. So many miserable and dumb customer service providers. Yes your job is shite, but must I be made to feel shit too. Crap training too. M & S is a little better, though not much... and a little annoying when I find myself listening to some pleb workers moaning about their manager and gossiping about the people they work with as I am shopping nearby (thinking fuck me that apple is expensive... it's a freaking apple people). WH Smith: Did that miserable bitch just slam my stupid liberal Economist magazine down?
5. Trains. A service deserving it's own number. See below for plenty of hate here too. The peak travel fares are absolutely stupid. They even got rid of the early off peak (around 5am) replacing it with an on-peak in order to make extra profit and fuck their customers, who would rather accept the inconvenience of arriving too early in London rather than pay on peak. I guess too many were doing this.
6. The British work attitude. See http://boscouk.blogspot.com/2006/05/typical-british-work-attitude.html
7. Queuing. I getting so sick of this. One service point. Just one! Why God why? Sweet mercy.
8. Terrible lack of punishment: again look around my site... I have written loads below about this little number. Ineffective small fines rather than real punishment. It seems punishment in the UK is about getting more money in to try and help clean up all the other problems... like the NHS and good equipment for soldiers.
9. Kids leaving school failures. They can't write, spell or even read properly. Employers are in despair. What a pile of fucking rubbish our state education system must be. And what a pile of rubbish the parents are for not noticing their children are as thick as pig shit and factory/gangs/crime-bound.
10. The NHS: it seems that a large proportion of nurses and healthcare staff smoke. Well ain't that just something. Also you are teated like cattle and it stinks. Massively inefficient. Worrying levels of incompetence. It has always had the potential to be great, but alas, it never will be now.
11. Crime statistics. Yes but what about the stuff the police never even notice.
12. Political correctness.
13. Bowing to all religions. No...stop it. All religion is primitive. I get very uncomfortable around anyone religious. It should be confined to the history books when people were less able to understand the world around them, and burnt folk cus they thought they were witches.
14. Reality TV. In fact British TV is just shitty now. Wife swap, cameras following around bad parents, big brother, love island, fat people getting naked. Utter bollocks. More news and more documentaries and more cool TV dramas. In fact reduce it, we have the internet now.
15. The Independent. How do they manage to create so many bleeding heart front pages.
16. Grafitti and primitive littering. Britain has more than it's fair share of both.
17. Prisons and the corruption within – how else are all those drugs getting in? The Government fear of building more prisons annoys me too. Build more damn it and make punishment harsh and prolonged and scumballs will actually fear these prison things. Take away TVs.
18. British food is shite and restaurants are stupidly expensive.
19. Home office have little control over immigration, both legal and illegal. We won't forget the mistakes that have been made. Well those of us that choose to stay. It seems most Brits once they somehow achieve sufficient savings, piss off.
20. University cost and debt.
21. People with boom box cars. You seen them...driving slowly around city centres we no obvious destination. Just cruising and unleashing their utterly shit music on us all. Police walk by as if they don't exist. Sometimes the windows are blacked out, so how you supposed to know if they are using a mobile phone or doing drugs. Now this is the only reason I would justify the police being able to carry around rocket launchers.
22. Where the fuck have all these guns come from? Drugs too. What the fuck? Gun shops and air rifles...get rid of them all for Shit's sake and create very very harsh punishment for anyone found with a gun.
23. Speeding bastards.
24. Animal rights fanatics.
25. Disgusting public/workplace toilets.
26. Workplace cleaners that don't actually clean much at all, and quite often talk to themselves.
27. High up executives/managers that actually do little effective, but are adept at talking bollocks around the table and accepting lots of money.
28. Terrible stock keeping. Ya wanna buy a laptop from PC World or Currys. Browsing the display models. Find two ya like. Talk to a member of staff who explains that this particular laptop is a good choice and takes you to start the laborious paperwork, only to say those all too frequent words: 'It's not in stock, but we can order it for you'. FUCK ME! Why why fucking WHY? Why has the laptop not got a sign on it saying 'out of stock'. All nearby stores out of stock too. Both models out of stock. Completely fucking useless.
29. One of the highest rates of road deaths per year in Europe.
30. Recent-ish TV obsession with having female sports news presenters, especially football. Yes a few womenfolk like footy, but most could not give 2 shits and would rather go shopping.
Yes, I'm a negative bastard but this country made me this way! There is some good stuff about Britain and some great people, but mostly being in this country is not good enough, damn it.
Expect updates soon.

Another reason to hate reality TV
Here is one of the latest shows to pop up on UK TV. Get a bunch of boy racers and turn them into rally car racers in attempt to get them off the streets endangering fellow human beings. A worthy endeavour methinks. Not really. These boys will not be punished. They go out at night when the roads are quiet (and visibility poor) and race each other. Now I don't care if THEY crash and burn, but what about people's cats, drunk folks round corners, even folks just not fully alert coming back from the 24-7 store who may just get in front of these speeding bastards; what about other night traffic. It's fucking illegal and so they should be punished... but no instead people make money with a stupid TV show where punishment is out the window, in fact reward is given... letting them play with nifty rally cars instead. OK fair enough introduce them to rally cars on tracks in order to try and sort them out, but first a good kicking and a prison sentence is in order.
