I was referring to the film and the mention of Brits economy...also the living of some people in cardboard boxes.
Every country...city... has areas that are a shame upon us.
I believe a country's citizens should come first. Just as in a family...charity and the dignity of citizens begins at home. We do pay for those in need to be cared for. Give me more credit than assuming all Brits live in squallor. Thats like saying only some bears crap in the woods!

Maam to begin with the Sun tabloid is hardly a source of unbiased information in fact the press in England is the closest thing to squalor you can find, especially the bits owned by Murdoch.

Someone earlier mentioned colonialism and this is where Britain has a problem. Any citizen of any Commonwealth country has easy entry to Britain, the British citizens are not crazy about it but 'tis the law of the land. When I was travelling on my Canadian passport I wound up in the Commonwealth line, took bloody forever because the customs officers really were looking for reasons to deny these people entry. When they saw my Canadian passport it was "Have a nice day sir." and whisked me through.

After Florence and I married and I was naturalized it was much quicker because I no longer had to use that line.
