Nowadays anybody who tries reporting a crime in Britain knows better than to bother doing so again. It avails them nothing, save a clearer picture of their own impotence. Indeed these days only the law-abiding fear Britain's Marxoid police "service" (the term "police force" is being phased out, as it's considered too authoritarian). The official crime figures are in such spectacular contrast to people's actual experiences as to be a standing joke. And the official mantra that "the problem is not crime but the <I>perception</I> of crime" is the final insult. The state is like a quack doctor, administering cough medicine to a patient with tuberculosis and watching him die slowly, all the while insisting that his problem isn't that he has TB, it's his <I>perception</I> that he has TB. It is our corrupt public administration's most fervent wish that we all think nice positive thoughts as we watch the decay spread: things would be so much better for everybody then. <BR/><BR/>The sad thing is that Britain's electorate has been so dulled by decades of social engineering that they'll just go out and vote in another group of soft-Marxist trimmers. ...And that's assuming they can be bothered to vote at all. Perhaps this nation of drunken, frivolous, materially obsessed and increasingly porcine lotus-eaters is simply getting the "government" it deserves. <BR/><BR/>...It's a pity for the other poor sods here, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
