    Default Lets Break Away from the UK

    I know this is going to sound like a crackpot idea to start with, but I'm deadly serious. I live in England and I have had enough.

    I have had enough with taxes being levied on everything: road pricing by the mile, congestion charging, speed cameras, bus lane cameras, box junction cameras, increasing air travel taxes, inheritance tax, fuel tax, the incredible amount the government takes from our wages, and the utterly ludicrous proposed taxes such as tax on rubbish and tax on the view from your house!

    I have had enough of a society that panders to every whim of minority ethnic and religious groups; bending over backwards to appease them only to be taken advantage of.

    I am sick of our corrupt, untrustworthy, greedy, selfish government made up of chamelions and parties that are all the same.

    I am fed up with narrow minded pressue groups like Greenpeace who claim to be our saviours but who are actually just bent on gaining power for themselves.

    I see no way of changing things through the existing 'legitimate' channels as the whole system has become an stew of lies, deceit, backstabbing and self agrandisment.

    Large sections of our nation are so self-obsessed, ignorant, and quite frankly, utterly stupid, that I belive all hope is lost for them.

    So I propose this:
    We gather all of the decent, intelligent, thinking people together and look at the possibility of establishing a new nation somewhere within the UK. We then tightly control the borders and never let the rot set in. We will keep it all small and manageable. We will call the UK government's bluff. We will face troops down if need be; though I sincerely believe we would have a lot of support from the UKs armed forces anyway as the current and all of the recent governments have let our armed forces down.

    Its time to stand up and be counted. If the UK is going to hell in a hand cart we will take the good elements from the UK and start again; learning from the past.

    So if everyday you are growing increasingly disillusioned with the sad state of affairs in the UK then speak up and lets do something about it!

    Do you think all of those are somehow uniquely British issues?
    From a personal point of view I can say I hear exactly the same kind of whinging from my wife's German cousins about their country!

    People have been complaining about how the country's 'going to the dogs' for centuries - but we're still here.

    I believe the exit door has always been open for those who wish to leave.

    Words fail me,,,,you poor "Pom".
    If I can offer any advice,,, have a couple of pints,,find yourself some "crumpet",, and work all of the stress out of your system.

    But seriously,,, the situation that you describe is by no means unique to England. Simaliar happens almost everywhere.

    Cheers mate.

    Hey guys; I'm not saying we should keep this an exclusively British thing. Anyone from anywhere who has a brain left should join us. Maybe we coud pick a warm island instead.

    I guess my main point is that we need to take action. You are right; people have been complaining for ages, so I reckon it's about time we take action. If we don't try and do something now we never will.

    That well may be true, but centuries ago the demographics and the ability to control the citizenry were worlds apart from where they are now.

    You'd almost think he was talking about Oz. Not quite as many taxes but its starting to get much the same way, especially the outlawing of firearms to all but a few. And then there was the "race riots" in Sydney not so long ago. I need a beer.

    I wasn't particulalry meaning Australia. Just anywhere warm It would be a lot easier though just to stay in the UK. I'm in Brighton right now. We could put up a big fence and make a nice place here.

    Presently would you believe i have 2 Dogbolters and a few Mixed Euro beers (grolsch inc). The dogbolters kick arse at 8.5 %, but too many and you regret it.
