OK so I have stated the UK law and Steve has made some assertions about things from USA.

I think that we probably need to cool it in our responses and allow for the fact that there are people from all nationalities who are on this forum.
Some statements that may be 'innocently' written may provide offense depending on tone, style or use of english.


So let us all please be thoughtful and a little more considerate to others.

Not sure I take this view as is anti-American in its slant.

....you can please yourself on that, fact is this government and the one before went all out to infect our lives with just about everything that makes american's lives a misery. Where do you think the 'security' industry explosion came from ?

Tasers...electro-cardio disruption: banned under international treatise as a method of torture. Where do you suppose those devices are made?

Inaccesible public office, where do you think that concept comes from?

Police state....bash anyone who objects....from?

yup, good old USA.

I think if you want to complain about something then look into the glass house and check this out........

FYI it is now illegal in UK for more than 20 people to gather together in a public place without notifying the police.

.......just in case the public might get their hands on the traitors, can't allow that now can we. G20....a man was murdered by the government's SchutzStaffel, in total disregard of the fact that every Englishman has an enshrined right to demonstrate against corrupt government. The government are acting illegally in making these laws the first place.

The UK is a police state controlled by the grey suits who decide what you can or cant do. So if you dont like it then you cant protest as less than 20 people is nothing and more than 20 is unlawful assembly and allows you to be arrested.

..........and these 'police' take their orders from the government, who ultimately take their orders from?

The USA as a free and open-minded country

.......LOL, what ? umm yeah right ok.

Whilst some of the problems seem to come from America when you research the source and cause it is different.

.........Most come from the US, since if you hadn't noticed every office which affects our daily lives is going flat out to adopt the american corporate model. Then again JK I wouldn't expect you to understand this since you're not exposed to it.

This is not anti-american, I don't care where this rotten corporate imperial ideology comes from, fact is it doesn't belong here.

UK has a great deal to learn about free speech and expression.
.....No, the government has.

One of the great things about Australia, it's not crime free, but the odds of anything like this happening to you here are a lot lower than any where else I've ever been.

I agree.
But it is a great place for grown ups as well.
If only I could get a residents permit.
