“””And people are leaving England in droves”””
And 1 in 3 of them return when they realise the grass is no greener elsewhere.
People are also leaving the U.S.A in droves.
“”... all the nanny state will have left is street gangs and Islamic terrorists ...””
Yes, because that’s all I see all around me. NOT. Do people like you pontificating on message boards actually travel anywhere to see for yourselves or do you just read newspaper articles?????
Sorry for the hyperbole. Pontificating is only a sideline with me.
I recently had the privilege to travel to the U.K. just last summer, and I must say I enjoyed every minute! Thank you for being a gracious host. (vicariously)
My eldest son and DIL and children recently moved to Stamford, Lincolnshire. I know the whole country is not in the dumper and for all I know, everyone is not moving out.
But there are those stories, you know.
Good luck to you, mate.
Yes I have traveled, extensively - I’ve lived in Tokyo, Brisbane, Izmir Turkey, Rome, Paris and London .... I “pontificate” as you say because I’ve seen it, been there and done that ... It was the British newspapers who said people were leaving England at the rate of 100,000 per year, not me. It was the British newspapers who were complaining of the “nanny state” and it was the British newspapers who brought out that the only people left were street gangs, Islamofacists and others .... I also suggest you start reading on-line British papers such as: The Sun, The London Times, The Manchester Guardian, etc.
So before you go off railing at other people, get your own facts straight first .....
