The UK is a fantastic place to live, sure the weather is crap but the countryside is lovely and within 30 minutes of driving from anywhere you can be in a remote place with your thoughts to your self.
The downsides, and there are too many to discuss here, include:
- A spineless and useless Government who does fk all to help the British, bends to the whims of every ethnic minority that moves here (don't get me wrong, I am not racist in any way but the way the Government ponders to every other religion / ethnicity and then shit on its own pisses me off!)
- Crappiest public transport around, overpriced, filthy, never on time and full of chavs!
- Everything is privatised, meaning its run in a shit way with only shareholders in the minds of the moneymakers.
I could go on and on, but I am, deep down, sad to see a country I have loved since birth be ripped apart by corporate fat cats that don't give a monkeys chuff about anything than their own wallets.
But, the country is lovely - in the line of a certain hymn it mentions a green and pleasant land, and this country has it.
Sorry for the thread hijack for a major rant but don't count the UK out just because its run like a pot of crap from the top
