I only just now saw this thread, CycleFrance. I must say it is very enlightening. Let me see if I can get this straight: 1,000 prisoners were accidently let loose on the people of the UK, and nobody knows who these prisoners are until someone chances to meet one in a dark alley some night. The unfortunate who survives such an encounter will be rushed by ambulance to an unstaffed ER because all the doctors and nurses have been let go in a cost saving measure. If the UK citizen is disabled by his encounter with said criminal, his pension fund will only keep a dog alive (just barely) while members of Parliment cavort in their offices with their secretaries and fly to exotic places to prove they're "against" global warming. Meanwhile the list of those who may have been responsible for 7/7 has grown to 800 (one wonders if they were members of the original group of 1,000 that hadn't gotten picked up yet). But not to worry because the UK is cutting its police force to better protect the people of Britain.

Errr... When do you expect the rioting in the streets to begin? Or are you Brits too well-mannered for that?
