So many over here buy into the tabloid crap about the UK. They think it is some kind of police state, which is so ironic when you compare your average bobby with the average US cop who looks like he's ready for WW3.
Nothing worse than disgruntled ex-pats. I avoid them like the plague. Not that one country is better or worse than the other, but when one get's criticized ignorantly from the other side, it get's my goat. I'll take British TV over American and American food over "toad in the hole" any day.
