No, I don’t think it’s a caliphate. But it’s noty the England of the 1990’s. Been there & seen the change. Also, know Brits who have been waiting for U.S. Citizenship who hardly recognize the country they were born in.
That is a sad state of affairs. And similar to what a lot of us in California feel like- we hardly recognize our own state anymore.
“Also, know Brits who have been waiting for U.S. Citizenship who hardly recognize the country they were born in.”
They don’t like Britain because in some parts of some cities outsiders are not welcome and yet they want to move to the US, er, because as we all know anyone can wander through any part of any American city at any time and never experience any trouble at all?
Ya think ya might want to let them know a little about American cities before they decide to move there?
I don’t know what 1990s England you encountered. If you are trying to claim it was some white-heavy paradise with little Muslim/ethnic population, you are, as we Limeys say, ‘havin’ a laugh’.....
I am British, I lived in the UK every moment of that decade, travelled in it top to bottom, worked across it. I KNOW what UK 1990-1999 was and what it wasn’t.
