[quote=BARONTWANGLE,317064]BBQ - no people in the UK are far from free.  Just recently in the news a mother was prevented from kissing her daughter goodbye before she left on a 3 day school trip because they were on school property where kissing has been banned!  This is how ridiculous things are in the UK. You can't photograph your child in a school play anymore either (unless you have written consent from all other parents).

I used to be a photographer working for the main government tourism promotion department (probably the same people responsible for that hideous closing ceremony at the Olympics), and I used to go all over the country photographing families at major tourist attractions.  You can see some of these images in the UK embassies and visa offices all over China.  Most of these "families" were actually models, as it is very difficult to find an entire good looking family in the UK these days.  Anyway, after I moved to China, my colleague continued to do this work until recently, but now he is not allowed (by law) to photograph children under the age of 16 (even if he has their parents' consent!).  The only way he can continue this job is to get a government certificate to show that he has never been convicted of molesting children in the past.  Although he is clean as a whistle (that means he would never even dream of doing anything like that) he refuses to get this check because he totally disagrees with the principal.  I wouldn't do it either.  There are now so many rules, regulations, and laws in the UK, everyone is controlled by the government.  However because they think they live in a "democratic country" they are free.  America is the same.  They are just all fools believing what the government tells them.  And they have the nerve to say "poor Chinese people"!

Australia is just as bad.  The only democratic country in the world where voting is mandatory!  Isn't that a contradiction in terms?!

Political correctness has gone mad and taken over in the UK.  If you are disabled, gay, black, Indian, an Illegal immigrant, Asylum Seeker, etc, then no one can say a bad word against you and you will be protected at all costs by laws.  If you are an able bodied hetrosexual white person however, then you might as well leave the UK, because you have no chance.  It's crazy, and is getting worse.

Do you remember that the little girl who got off the bus at the closing ceremony, before bizarrely walking over people's backs and then getting back on the bus again (what was the point of that?!)?  Well she was chosen from hundreds of entires by a children's tv programme in the UK.  There is no way that the winner could have been a white person.  Before the winner was announced, I would have bet my life that the "lucky person" would have been a girl, non white, and probably disabled in some way.  Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad huh!

It's so predictable, and it's getting really boring.

Why do you think I now live in China?  I came to be free again, and it feels great.
