Indeed. Out in the country we have no people to beat up and so have to choke our chickens.

If your over-riding reason for wanting to leave the UK is because you’re fed up with rising crime, disintegrating respect, and freeloading immigrants… well, I’ve got just the place for you. Forget Canada, the US, Australia and NZ, because they’re more or less the same as the UK. How about this…

A country which is virtually free of petty crime?
Where respect for family and the elderly is a deeply held part of the culture?
Where citizens get free medical treatment and education?
Where citizens are assured of jobs that pay enough to support your family?
Where working hours for citizens are very relaxed?
Where immigrants are tolerated but strictly controlled, and not allowed to force their religion on the good citizens?
Where the weather is usually hot and sunny?
Where petrol is cheaper than water?

What do you mean, sounds too good to be true?

All together now, “O Saudi Arabia, our spiritual home and land!.....”

No, you missunderstood me - I wasn't implying you agreed or dissagreed with me, just that the phrase in your post ("Whats even more alarming/upseting is that his friends watched and videoed it, according to the Sunderland Echo some women arrived as well and they all laughed") had already answered the question that was being asked. It would be up to reader to decide whether it supported my argument or not, I wasn't claiming that.

then refer back to the original article and quote that. I repeat, dont quote out of context to support your views.
