They have been there for quite a while.
We were just in the UK and the papers are filled with complaints about the NHS, immigration and the UK financial situation(broke). They can no longer afford to fund their military...they are spending it all on welfare payments to immigrants and their health care. The VAT is 17.5% after you pay outrageous income taxes..going to 50% for the rich.
In spite of all that taxation they still are going broke.
