What other country could possibly offer such opportunity and diversity. Surely UK is the land of milk and honey....a kind of utopia if you like. No wonder we are a magnet for all the dinghies....its all positive, positive and positive in the good old UK.

If you were born in the UK, then you have won the lottery of life ...... We will be okay once we vote out the right-wing Brexit cabal that is supposedly running the country.
General strike for a General Election ..... We need to get them out earlier before they do any more damage. |

I was brought up in the UK and my first overseas trips were Spain and France . At the time in the seventies I thought those Countries were backward in terms of standards, lifestyle and living conditions compared to England. In the eighties I got a job in the States and thought the States were in the Premier League for life style and standard of living well in front of the UK. France, Spain and other European Countries were still behind the U K . Meanwhile Ireland was catching up. When I came to live back here in Ireland in the Celtic Tiger days the country was better than England and when I say England I refer to Surrey and Sussex, allegedly the richer parts. I lived In Greece for three years avoiding Covid and can say its behind Spain and France. Ireland is better than England now ,its not overcrowded and they are holding on to their traditions looking after the aged (unlike the British). Most of my family have all spent the major part of their lives living in the UK ,but dont live there now..... and they hate having to go back for funerals, weddings or recently even Cheltenham (for some). Meanwhile Britain and Ireland in terms of Health standards, cleanliness, overcrowding,bureaucracy would be behind Spain in 2023 imvho.

We will have our democracy back when the Labour Party wipe you out !
Who's we? All you'll get, is more of the same medicine under a different set of self serving politicians. They'll blame their failures on the previous government, which they supported in all the most damaging policies like lockdowns, mass immigration and mismanaged NHS. And mugs like you will defend them, until the voters get get fed up with their faces and elect a different set of thick skinned, self-serving gob sh1tes. |

Labour will be similar but worse, you only need to look at the Labour government in Wales to know that.
Starmer is a forensic bonehead, Sunak is of a different calibre. I won't be voting for either but I know which one I would prefer. |

I would like to have been around in Belgium or Holland during the late 16th century during the Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting era, I could have carried Bruegel's paint pots around and watched him at work depicting ordinary peasants in ordinary every life which would have actually been a lot more interesting then the boring, philosophical or religious works of the Italian renaissance painters often just churning out church commissioned work. Apparently he used to dress up as a peasant, gatecrash their do's and get pissed with them.

Littlehampton used to be nice, quite, big green, beach, a nice little boozer, with rockers and free lovein ganja types, amidst the pensioners.
A grand day out indeed. |
