LGD posted:are the UK politicians who are pedophiles proportionate to the UK population as a whole and the ongoing panic just everyone loudly overcompensating because they themselves are sexual deviants, or is it like a Catholic priesthood thing where they self-select into a sympathetic institutional structure? and if it's the latter, as the UK is nominally democratic, why does the UK citizenry keep electing them with such consistency? everyone who's important in this country goes to the same couple of schools and they all know each other so it's probably just those guys screwing kids. i don't know why we keep electing them.

SurfaceDetail posted:I have distant family who live in England. Visited my second cousin. He makes about the same amount I do, 50kish, and he lives like I did in college. Its really sad. He can't afford anything better. I think there'd be riots if people knew really how cheap and accessible just basic poo poo is over here. His quality of life is really only a step or two socioeconomically above a dude making McDs his career. yeah i came to England from Australia and unless you're insanely rich the standard of living here is lower than anyone with any job would have in Australia. The weirdest part is no one seems to notice or care about things like houses being as drafty as tents or mold crawling up the walls of even the most expensive places.

Quote-Unquote posted:if you are rich and/or famous you should take advantage of the incredibly lax laws around rich people having sex with children and dead animals that have allowed the uk to prosper. they're not even laws really, just guidelines. lol if you try to survive in england without being at least two out of three of rich, famous and white

XMNN posted:dont go to brew dog Brew dog is good when it's not busy. Just get there early and leave when the first person with an ironically waxed moustache shows up. Also bring a lot of cash because they will bugger you through your clothing when you go to settle the tab

Beige posted:Look for a pub you can't see inside of and watch a football match there (3 pm Saturday is good). It's genuinely fascinating to people-watch and I'm a native. britain's not really one of those countries. if people think you're gawking at them you might get a punch in the face (still do it, it's fun)

King of Bees posted:Pedigree. Not Premiere. if you enjoy your beer by the half-litre I can recommend Holsten pils. coming from Australia I found the beer selection in the average off-licence to be a revelation. getting drunk is most of the reason I stay here.

Banano posted:lol does that even still exist? I can't remember seeing any in the last ten years, but then again it might just be that they stopped spending £1bn a year on advertising yeah it's a staple in my off-licence. it's one of the £1 cans. while it's garbage by european standards it's fantastic compared to the swill that passes for beer in Australia.

Dravs posted:Pizza in the UK is very sub-par. Your best bet is to get it from a kebab shop and hope you get lucky. You know it's bad when Dominos is the pizza joint of choice for most townies. brits don't seem to understand pizza but the innovation of garlic dipping sauce for the crust is borderline genius

i'm not really a pizzaman when it comes down to it. i just remember shortly after arriving in the UK i was presented with three dominos pizzas that apparently cost £50 and had these little pots of that sauce set in little cupholders in the box. It was the first time I felt like I was in a really foreign country and not just a run down version of Australia.
