They are in fact from South America.

Hint:
In the US the word "POLICE" is used.
In South America they use the word "POLICIA".

This is England - again. If you live in Scotland and vote for a unionist party this is what you'll end up with here and you'll only have yourself to blame. You may not like the SNP but at least they have the right priorities.

Who actually controls the country?
