    "England is the most class-ridden country under the sun. It is a land of snobbery and privilege, ruled largely by the old and the silly."
    - George Orwell

    Sucks how that hasn't changed at all.

      Editing … Euro healthcare is a pretty low standard though. I can't remember which countries, but there are some African countries that have free/very cheap healthcare and their healthcare is on par/superior to ours. Fancy hospitals and shit. Also I wouldn't call healthcare free though if we pay taxes for it. You pay upfront and it's mandatory even if you don't go to the doctor ever.

      Editing … You'd think police officers would be a bit more clued up on this sort of thing. Threatening someone on a public forum? They used to have the good sense to keep their threats private :P

    Which UK news sources are the good ones?
    Anyway http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/697583/Rotherham-abuse-scandal-child-grooming-gangs-industrial-scale-victims-CSE

    "Express.co.uk has pieced together shocking testimony from victims, campaigners and local residents in a large-scale investigation series being revealed throughout this week.

    They all told us how police and the local council is still "failing" thousands of vulnerable girls.

    It reveals how organised, criminal gangs of paedophiles are still using the town as their own personal fiefdom, peddling underage girls for sex as part of a multi-million pound crime empire."

    http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/615246/Rotherham-sex-scandal-Islamic-British-Muslim-Youth-boycott-South-Yorkshire-Police

    "AN Islamic group in Rotherham which has vowed to boycott the police over the devastating child sex abuse scandal have been blasted for thinking they are “above the law”.

    The British Muslim Youth (BMY) is protesting the perceived persecution of Muslims in the aftermath of the town’s shameful scandal.

    In a message posted online the group ordered fellow Muslims to immediately cut all ties with law enforcement or face being made pariahs in their own neighbourhoods.

    British Muslim Youth (BMY) warned its members would not be “held responsible for acts of personal self-defence” and said it could no longer trust South Yorkshire Police because of the ongoing "marginalisation and dehumanisation" of Muslims."

      Editing … The Telegraph, Times, Financial Times, Independent and Guardian are the respected papers here. Reuters and the BBC website aren't bad either. The Sun, Mirror, Express and Mail are our tabloids, they're more likely to give you a skewed account of something so i tend to double check them against another source.
