In the UK anyone can just walk in and piss all over the native population.

As I said before, if they can do it then good luck to them. Can't see many other countries setting such a goal and perhaps having a chance of making it.
The question is...if most of the west undertook such an approach, where would that leave the middle east...getting by selling Persian carpets, or carpet bombing us?Comment

Originally posted by tim123One of the ways that they achieve this is by building houses properly.
My week day residence is a constant 21 degrees when it's rarely been above zero each day, with almost no heating turned on.
My UK weekend retreat (!) is sometimes down to 18 degrees with the heating going full blast all the time (and leaking through the walls).

Though, Sweden can manage it even easier than that, if they were willing to sacrifice some more rivers it could get enough energy from water power to power most of the country I believe.Comment
