....check out what is going on in Naples.
Mafia running the show, 100,000 tonnes of rubbish on the streets for months, schools closed, people running scared, murders are commonplace, politicians (those who aren't bent) totally useless, police overwhelmed, army called in..etc etc.

This is Europe, 2008

Link2 - it's been going on for years

"Mafia" types seem to be entwined with anything related to Government and large authorities, not just in Europe either...why do you think Wembley and the Millennium Dome cost so much? Oh...and the Olympics...

i dont actually think the UK is that bad, people slate it but it could be worse, sure there are problems in the UK but things aint that bad huh? maybe i should try living elsewhere for a proper comparison, any volunteers?

I quite like the UK, we've got a lot less problems than other countries...

The UK is bad in certain places. There are bad parts all over the world, but I've always hated examples of places, people , etc who are in a worse situation than myself, because their situation does not make mine any better.

edit:Ignore me, I'm in London and absolutely hate it, I can't wait to get out of here.
