WINSTONE THREATENS TO LEAVE U.K.

Movie hardman RAY WINSTONE wants to leave his native Britain and start a new life abroad - because the U.K. justice system is too lenient on criminals.
The Sexy Beast star claims he's always considered England the greatest country in the world - but blames the government under Labour Party leader Gordon Brown for not doing enough to tackle crime and punish offenders.
And he feels so strongly about it, he's planning to move somewhere like the U.S., Italy or France.
He says, "I wouldn’t mind if we actually see something being done with all the money they take off in taxes. But I don't see more police ... what I see is no one on the streets and then a legal system that doesn't support the coppers when things finally get to court. There are criminals getting off every day in this country.
"(England)'s just not that great any more, is it? Let’s be honest. This country isn't going to the dogs. It’s gone to the dogs. We're a mess.
"And do I really want to live in this mess any more? I feel bad saying it but I'm just not sure."
