Fecked country is that where you drive from work and police armed with submachine guns stops your car, measures CO2 from exhaust pretending you have got too high level and unless you pay them off they will waste few hours of your time or more likely find something else.

Fecked up country is also one where an LTD must do monthly reports to the Tax Office with dozen papers (for different taxes) filled in in different places, all of which have got queues, and they change forms every month, and in any case you can't possibly fill in them correctly so you get fines.

Also totally fecked up country is where the Govt's motto is:

You can vote for us, or not vote for us,
In any case we will **** you up the ***e

Now that's fked up country - and UK is like heaven.

Ah, OK. I Just thought from your earlier contribution that you were describing Denmark, or Sweden or some East European country. In which case I would have understood the comparison.

So..... you can moan about all the things wrong with this place , as I do from time to time as well but in the whole scheme of things this is not a bad place.

And we are not going, so you'd better get used to it (or maybe you can emigrate??)

He's not wrong...

A mutiny inside the UK's largest immigration centre has been contained, the Home Office has said.

Detainees at the 500-capacity Harmondsworth centre in west London staged a protest about living conditions in the early hours.

Fires were started and about 50 asylum seekers spelt out "help" and "SOS" with bed sheets in the courtyard.

The Home office said the situation was contained but some of the detainees would be moved from Harmondsworth.

Lin Homer, head of the immigration and nationality directorate, said: "The perimeter remains secure, and no-one has escaped. There has been no risk to the public. No injuries to staff or detainees have been reported."
