Interesting thread on UK vs France from the other app. I am curious, do locals of either country agree? https://x.com/bswud/status/1804899087197564950

Being French and just coming back from the UK, I will not say this is entirely false but I will also state that what is always shocking me in the UK is the “big brother is watching you” constantly, everywhere, and all the posters to incentivise people to report on other people: “See it, say it, sorted. “

It all started with the IRA bombings on the mainland in the 80s & 90s and has got worse ever since.

I beg to differ. Coming from a city renowned as “the safest city in the world” (now decayed and become a police state under CCP), I feel that the law enforcement in UK is not strong, especially for non-violent crimes like burglary. Offenders are likely to face minimal penalties even if caught. The “Big Brother” systems and encouragement to report crime, is an unfortunate necessity and better than having no measures in place.

This is due to a history of terrorism. We had Irish terrorist blowing up London for decades and then Islamic terrorism, same as Paris. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-43878479 One thing that is cultural is that people will quite often step in and tackle terrorists, sometimes losing their lives in the process.
