You know, I really wanted to say in my original comment I guarantee someone will bring up grooming gangs - and sure enough.

Now imagine grooming gangs, in addition to police shooting and killing civilians, on top of political corruption going unchecked, police stalking, in addition to every other terrible thing you could imagine.

The UK isn’t perfect, but the never ending sentiment that it’s the worst in the world because there’s an issue with grooming (which is an issue nearly everywhere sadly) is foolish. Brits have such high standards that you don’t even realise how much of a privilege it is to be annoyed about only a small handful of systemic global issues.

You’re not afraid to walk to your local for a pint and be shot in the head by a cop or kidnapped I suppose, right?
