Give London Away to Another Country - SERIOUSLY.
I thought living in Leicester (England- Midlands) was bad enough but boy was I wrong. Have you ever been to London, the capital of the United Shitdom Kingdom?? Man does it suck. The capital of a city is meant to be city of dreams, where you can really live during the day or night- Whichever you chose. The place that hosts famous football teams such as Chelsea Football Club and Arsenal. London is the city the whole world talks about, where number 10 Downing Street can be found occupied by Tony the Bliar I mean Gordon Brown. It’s the headquarters of the world famous “Kiss America’s Ass” Club and many many more things….
Time to wake the fuck up
London is no longer just a place. It’s a state of mind. And Londoners are waging an undeclared war on the rest of the population. They use subtle but highly toxic lifestyle weapons. In a short time these can weaken an entire locality and lead to complete Londonisation: traffic gridlock, street crime, overpriced shopping enclaves, and a population obsessed with schools, fashionable bars and art shows.
London’s size and growth rate has now reached a critical, dangerous point. Officially its population is 7.3 million, inhabiting an area of 174 sq km. But these figures mask a more alarming truth. London has secretly spread far beyond its official limits, and continues to move out into the countryside. Its now over flooding with thousands of retards who intend to live of the land through the benefit’s which they receive whilst still working full time jobs.
Money Emphasis
Once you get out of the tourist circuit and get a job, the whole thing is about treading water on 7 pounds an hour in Telesales and driving jobs. I bet your thinking £7/$14 an hour owns but when was the last time you ever saw a cup of coffee being sold for £2.50/$5 or more??? You can live for a year on 2.50 in some countries. Probably 2 years in Egypt.
The stupid bus drivers
Just take any London bus at school time, and see the reason why London’s so fucked up. The loud, disrespectful voices screaming and swearing into their mobile phones, they really should ban drivers from using them. Don’t bus drivers even look at you as you get on the bus anymore? Last cunt who was taking me from point A to B didnt even notice I gave him 50p for a £1.20 bus ride, Retard.
The residents are pretentious, rude, condescending and phoney, even the kids are fat, spoiled and completely useless:
whats 2+2 boy?
Fatty Replies: Can I have that cake your eating?
I have been here a few times and many traveler’s have approached me with the same observations. I have traveled all over England and every other city in this country blows away London. If you meet a friendly person in London I would wager they are from Wales, Scotland, Ireland or the North. Just about the natives are the good guys to talk with such as the cab drivers who tend to be stupid Indian’s or Somalians. But Hey, atleast they are getting paid outrageous rates. Lots to see in London but I will never come back here again. Give me Manchester, Birmingham, Brighton instead, Lodon Blows. Not to mention this city is outrageously overpriced- save your money and go somewhere else where the locals are polite, real, and respectful NORMAL.
So to summarize everything :
10 -
Tiny roads
Because London is so old and space is at a premium (due to the huge population for such a small area), the roads in London are very narrow. Even if the councils wanted to make them bigger, they simply couldn’t. In many areas the houses front doors are right on the sidewalk - this means that there is no space left at all unless you demolish the houses (which you can’t because of laws protecting buildings over a certain age). In addition, everyone now seems to have a car and most people park them half on and half off the sidewalk. The result is to make the narrow roads even narrower. It is very common to have to back up a street because another car is coming toward you and there is only sufficient room for one. Needless to say this can add a lot of time to your travel each day.

Filth and Stink
London is the dirtiest city I have ever been in (and I have been in a LOT). Granted, some of the rubbish is a result of council policies during the IRA bombings that meant rubbish bins had to be removed from the streets (people were putting bombs in the bins), but many of the bins are back and no one seems to use them. The people here do not seem to have any pride in the streets at all - perhaps it is partly because so many people in London are not native to the place, but considering the amount of money we are all charged by the councils (see point 2) you would think they could pay more people to clean up. And of course, with filth, comes stink. In summer the smells pouring out of the grates on the roads is unbearable. Venice is meant to be smelly during summer - but in my experience London is far worse.
8 -
Rents
The average rent in London is £334 per week (that is $665 US). The average weekly household income in London is £711 ($1,415 US) which does cover the average rent in a dirty flat, but other expenses are also higher here (see point 2 and 5).
7 -
Bad food
England is famous the world over for its bad food and, believe me, London is no exception. Granted, you can get amazing food - but only if you can afford to spend over £100 ($198 US) per meal. Two meals out and you probably won’t have enough money to pay for your bills. An example of the quality (and price) of food here: when I first arrived I had a sandwhich at a regular greasy-spoon cafe (the name is definitely apt). For £5 ($9.95 US) I got two slices of thin white bread from a bag (which was virtually stale) with butter and a few pieces of dry Tuna Chunks. It was barely palatable. Perhaps that is the reason that so many Londoners seems to eat fast-food all the time - it is moderately cheap and stodgy - but the result of too much of that is that you see many young men and women who look malnourished.

The London mayor
Ken Livingstone is a blight on this city. He is the Mayor of London and is the father of the London Congestion Charge (see point 5). Ken is also a socialist (hence his nickname Red Ken). Ken’s latest plan is to force all embassies to pay the congestion charge (which is ridiculous as they are non-UK tax paying organisations). He has control over London Transport which sucks (see point 3) and he seems completely oblivious to the needs of the city. Oh - in addition to the congestion zone, he plans to implement (by 2008) an emission charging zone which will mean a “prohibitively expensive” tax for trucks and transport vehicles. Incidentally, when Japan stopped paying Ken’s congestion charge in 2006, Ken replied by going on the radio and talking about Japanese war crimes. Nice one Ken.

The Congestion Charging Zone
In February 2003, Mayor of London Ken Livingstone (see point 6) introduced the congestion charging zone. The point of the zone is to photograph (see point 4) every car entering the zone and charge them a daily fee for having done so. The original charge was £5 and Livingstone promised it would not increase. In April, 2005, Ken announced that the price would go up to £8. In May 2006, on live TV, Ken announced that it will go up to £10 by 2008. Then to top it all off, he announced it would increase in size to encompass all of Kensington and Chelsea. The extension has actually increased congestion by 5%.

Cameras
London is basically awash with cameras. They say you can barely walk two metres without being photographed. We are a watched city. 1984 anyone? Even the busses have cameras. Coupled with the socialist tendencies of the mayor and the left wing government, one does have to wonder what the future will be like in London. Of course they are also proposing a universal identity card.
3 -
Public transport
The buses stink, they don’t run often enough to deal with the number of people using them, they don’t have enough seats, and they are so overcrowded that you can’t move during peak hours. In addition, virtually every time I have caught a bus here there has been some kind of food spilt on the seats. There was a documentary on TV here that showed children urinating and defecating on the buses. Unbelievable but true. And what is the cost for this? £2 ($4 US) per journey no matter how short - Ken Livingstone has doubled the price from £1 in the last year. Last year during the summer, the interior temperature of some buses was found to be 52C (125.6F)
Then there are the tubes! They cost £4 ($8 US) per single trip. They have no air conditioning, they have too few seats, they stink, and the temperatures have been known to get up to 47C (116.6F). Overcrowding is also a major problem here and 3 out of 4 times that I have caught the tube I have not managed to get a seat.
2 -
Council Tax
This is a charge that is levied against every house in London. Your council charges you this fee and, in return, is supposed to provide you with services. As it turns out, it seems the only services they give you are rubbish collection and the occasional street sweeper. Guess how much on average you pay for the “council tax”? £2,000 per year (that is $3,976 US) - that breaks down to £166 per month ($330). We also have an oligatory television license of over £100 per year despite the fact that we use cable TV and pay for it ourselves. We never watch the public television channels.

Rude people
This is the thing that I hate most about London. The people are utterly and completely rude. No one looks at anyone else (not even when they are serving you in a shop), no one smiles. It reminds me of what Moscow must have been like during communist oppression. Children don’t stand for adults on public transport, and frankly, parents don’t tell their children to. I have seen young children abusing adults who have scolded them for throwing food on the ground. When the people are so unhealthy, it says a lot about the nation. I should add, however, that the majority of people I have met who are not from London, have been very friendly.
