I’m British. Yes, this is real. It was disgusting but totally predictable. I’d like American’s to know that London is not representative of the rest of the country. Unfortunately the world doesn’t get to see too much outside of London. Things are not as bad as they may seem. This country has just left the EU today and consistently votes for the Conservative Party over the socialistic Labour Party. We’ve got Boris as Prime Minister, he’s not fantastic but he’s a step in the right direction. Of course there are problems, but there’s problems everywhere across the western world. The U.K. is in the process of gradually fixing these issues.
