Not so green and pleasant land

If you picked up the Mail this morning,you may wonder the country that we are living in

Firstly our countryside is going to be dug up according to its front page

The Green Belts that have protected the countryside for more than 50 years should be built on, a Whitehall report said yesterday.
Developers who have been kept at bay by strict laws must be allowed to build thousands of homes around towns and cities, it added.
An inquiry rejected the voices of "nimby" residents and voters who hope to keep the countryside unspoiled.

A fifth of us live off benefits

The number of households in which nobody works for a living rose to more than three million this summer, official figures revealed yesterday.
Among them were a growing number of lone parent families - the first increase in the figure for single parent homes entirely dependent on benefits in five years.
The statistics point towards a failure for Labour's policy of spending billions on benefits, childcare and incentive schemes intended to persuade those without jobs - and single mothers in particular - into employment.

And crime rules

Britain is the worst country in the world for robbery and the number of armed and violent attacks is growing, according to the head of the country's biggest security firm.
Nick Buckles, chief executive of Group 4 Securicor, attributed the rising level of attacks to the fact that his staff are not allowed to carry guns, leaving them vulnerable to armed raiders.
He said: "It's just part of our business. It is a rising trend, particularly in the UK, mainly because we are not armed. Britain is the worst country in the world for robbery."

But don't worry our saviour is not far away

David Cameron stepped up his political fightback last night by claiming excessive immigration had been a burden on public services.
He said schools and hospitals were struggling to cope with arrivals from the European Union and beyond.
The Tory leader also accused Government ministers of relying on inflammatory language to cover up their failure to curb the flow of migrants.
