Peter Hitchens: Britain is inefficient, incompetent and unworkable

Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Peter Hitchens said: "What a twisted society we have become. We stir up wars in other people s countries and praise ourselves for doing it. "But there is no political reward for protecting our own people against crime and disorder on their streets and in their homes. It is no longer clear if anyone is governing the country at all, so busy are we putting other nations to rights. "Burglaries go unprevented, uninvestigated and unpunished, in colossal numbers. Our capital city seethes with uncontrolled knife crime and stinks of marijuana. "Christmas brings news of terrible ultra-violent crimes in supposedly peaceful suburban areas. Migrants stride boldly ashore in unknown numbers. We pay heavy taxes for pitiful services, cratered roads and a health system that is the envy of nobody." #talktv #talkradio #peterhitchens
