Lets face it United Kingdom is a soft touch. Our justice system is abysmal and totally unjust. We protect the criminals and persecute the victims. We hand out soft sentences and we have no deterrant and no death penalty. We waste public money on keeping prisoners in a lap of luxury and protecting them from the public. We give hand outs to everyone who comes to this country so the rest of the world must be laughing at us surely? Do you agree that UK is the softest easiest country to live in?

Ohh yes .. it's really soft ...any can come here and be given everything they need to start up a new life .. medical attention .. yes walk straight in ... money .. here have a big cheque ... homes .. have this lovely spacious 4 bedroomed house overlooking the park ... All my live I had worked hard and paid my way ... then when I suddenly found I was thrown out of work because of my disabilities I found I had to fight tooth and nail to get even a half decent amount of benefits to live on .. The irony is had I been coloured or an ethnic minority I would have received a lot more help ... it's a fact white people are discriminated against in their own country .. And that's not being racist ... far from it .. it's because of the fear of being seen to be racist that governments have had to make more available to the minority groups .. which in itself is a form racism towards the British people ...

NB .. Just noted a glaring error in my comments ... "it's a fact 'white' people are discriminated against" ... should of course have read "It's a fact that BRITISH people are descriminated against" .. sorry ... !!

Oh yeah hard to swallow isn't it and we thought we had it so much better back in 97 when Labour came into power, but I won't get on my soap box about Labour (huffs and puffs) they have made a rod for our backs and we're living with the legacy.

No, I think the US is the softest. We do all of the things you have listed and supply major aid/food to way too many countries.

No I don't think the UK is the softest country in the world. I think India is the softest country in the world.India had left some terrorist when they hijacked the plane back in 1996 or something like that. Also now one who have attacked the most security zone of the country that is the Parliament ..India is soft to him.They have passed the order to hang him but now with peoples protest ,his own family protest the day is just postponing from weeks to months ..and don't know when the soldiers who lost their life in the parliament attck will get the justice..

That sounds to me like if you were discribing the U.S! Our justice system is as unjust and unfair as yours! I know many people that have gotten arrested for minor things while everyday you hear of a politician that comits a much worse federal crime and gets out of it without any severe punishment!
