There are much worse places to live than the UK, and I love the place as it's where I'm from, but that makes me very critical of it too. Ultimately I'd love the UK to move in a more American direction generally: I might even move back if that were the case! Harlem44- Yup.

(For American readers, that's Value Added Tax, or sales tax.) Harlem44- Many agree with you, but I hope this article at least makes you want to ensure that the right changes are made so we don't end up with the problems of the NHS.
