The thing that makes me laugh is this attitude that has been adopted now that smacking children is a form of child abuse, and people who carry it out are put in the same camp as a real child abuser.

One of the reasons these kinds of laws were changed apparently was to stop child abuse, and yet its done nothing to stop it, it was always illegal and a recent study has shown an 8% rise in serious harm to children in the UK under the age of 11yrs in the last 2 years alone. All this has achieved is to stop good parents and teachers bringing up children properly and turning them into decent human beings, instead allowing them to become moral lacking trouble causes with a bad attitude.

If the UK does not pull its finger out soon the whole British Isles will need sectioning off as a penal colony.

Things will have to change pretty dramatically in the UK if I was ever to consider moving back there.

People knock China all the time for apparently being uncivilized and having a terrible human rights record. However I believe being civilized is a matter of opinion and it's only upon actually living here that you start to realise just how full of it most people are when commenting on China, its the most civilized nation I have visited in the world, and in comparison to the UK today its like living in paradise.

Sort things out FFS before the UK gets any worse.
