Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson wonders what happened to Britain, and explains why the British are getting a bit crazy :

They can’t understand why they are taxed at 50% on their income and then taxed again for driving into the nation’s capital. They can’t understand what happened to the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction. They can’t understand anything.

....they see the stupid war on drugs and the war on drink and the war on smoking and the war on hunting and the war on fun and the war on scientists and the obsession with the climate and the price of train fares soaring past £1,000 and the Guardian power-brokers getting uppity about one shot baboon and not uppity at all about all the dead soldiers in Afghanistan....

It’s a lovely idea, to get out of this stupid, Fairtrade, Brown-stained, Mandelson- skewed, equal-opportunities, multicultural, carbon-neutral, trendily left, regionally assembled, big-government, trilingual, mosque-drenched, all-the-pigs-are-equal, property-is-theft hellhole and set up shop somewhere else.

But where to flee too? Clarkson wonders. He chews through some options.

The London Times tried to disappear this controversial November 8 column from Clarkson, presumably because he announces he wants to tie a politician to the front of his car and drive him around until he's dead. But nothing can be disappeared online, anymore. The brutally honest column went viral, and was reproduced in full on hundreds of blogs.

So now the TimesOnline has reposted it, no doubt afraid of losing all that click action into perpetuity.
