How ever terrible this person feels about his treatment by the UK. He still feels it is better than living in the middle east where his ancestors are from.

If you downvote this comment I would appreciate a simple response as to which is the worst place here. The UK or the middle east

I think if your comment draws downvotes, it would be because it implies that simply because the UK is in a better place overall, that efforts to improve are unnecessary. Just because you're doing okay doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying to improve. This applies so much more heavily as scale increases, also. A country should always strive to do what is best for its citizens, and for that, we need to always be examining potentially problematic areas.
