  • I visit a typical uk housing block in Manchester......they say problems include broken front door locks, litter, fly-tipping and drug dealing near their homes.

      @@RockNRollersn apart from the cold miserable weather, the stupidly high taxes the goverment rob you of and the terrible attitude of 95% of people. Yeh i guess your right.
      Issue being if you have a argument over some stupid road rage which happens naturally all the time, in the uk they wil come and put out your windows then when you catch them and give them a beating, they proceed to call the police on you.... an you will be charged for assault regardless of your windows because there was no evidence as he was on a electric bike with a ballaclava
      When you live in another country that still has respect be it slight fear of course. You dont get this type of behavior because you have to respect laws or you will be hurt.
      Call it barbaric but its the only thing that keeps order. I wouldnt raise a dog in the Uk, let alone kids. Im guessing you have never travelled the world to see how the rest of it works?

      @@RockNRollersn of course, but we are not simply desputing any other country in the world, the uk is a terrible place to live ( like you say so are many others in the world) but the argument is not, where is worse... as so many countries are better, i could name many including south of france. Point is the uk has lost its spine from the goverment down leaving its worth at zero.there is no longer any benifits from living in the uk as a whole, Basically the bad out way the good in another term?

    A quick look online shows flat numbers above 300. A tower block like that is likely to have 4 flats per floor (one in each corner), which would make about 160 in the 2 big towers alone. Probably the same again in the 'low-rise' 7-floor blocks.
