Hmm yes, cheap food, and a vibrant night life. Coupled with 90% home ownership. All hallmarks of an oppressed working class.

I'm sure they're dying to pay £4.50 for a shitty ham sandwich and forking over half their wages every month to a landlord.

Indeed. It's remarkably safe here. According to some people another hallmark of freedom is the freedom to be robbed.
