Best place to live is the UK just a bunch of moaning tossers who make a noise about our home.If I could afford to move to France I would be off.

Idiots- France FFS

You mean here ?It's an awful place with a clueless government and out of control society
Only things that are cheap in France.. wine and housesIf I could afford to move to France I would be off.
In the dinghy's what?You could always swap places with some of the lads in the dinghy’s
What do you expect after 13 years of Tory misrule? Oh hang on, you wouldn't know about that. You've been away.Lived abroad for years - in far better run places than the UK!
You're utterly deluded. Great grammar for a great country.Is it fuck.
Go and live abroad like I have and you get the same clueless shit.
Getting old means you moan about everything if you think other countries are better than us your utterly deluded.
We'll have a whip roundIf I could afford to move to France I would be off.
…and I have never been back in that time - have I?What do you expect after 13 years of Tory misrule? Oh hang on, you wouldn't know about that. You've been away.
I’d support that.If I could afford to move to France I would be off.
If you did not keep eating out you could probably afford it.If I could afford to move to France I would be off.
Perfect example. Why can't people question things it's not a utopia in the UK, there are a lot that can be improved. Your attitude means that nothing will be done to improve our lot.This country is great apart from whiners who don't understand how many privileges they have living here. If only they would feck off to their perfect country it would be better still.

Mine was a late Friday evening post. probably not at my best.…and I have never been back in that time - have I?
..or spoken to me anyone who lives in the Uk!!
Come on 1966 - you know I am a Tory and I have said many times - I couldn’t vote for this lot!!
The difference between me and you is I can see past the colour of my shirt
Spot on.Someone once told me you will only see Britain for what it is once you leave, never a truer word spoken.

Spot on.
When you see how public services are delivered in some places, you wonder how it go so bad in the UK.
Yes, I don’t wish to decry my home country but throughout my lifetime I have witnessed it deteriorate beyond recognition.Spot on.

You’re not selling it mate…I know I can be a broken record at times but the electorate has had 13 years of choosing bad Governments. The Conservatives never have been great believers in public services. However, since 2010 they have excelled themselves in proving their disdain for the public sector. Cameron and Osborne took an axe to local Council budgets; a tired and discredited policy still finding favour with Sunak and Hunt. Public sector wages have been shrunken in real terms. The NHS has been wrecked. Police and prison services have been neglected. Even the armed forces are not fit for purpose. As for Brexit....the greatest single act of self-harm that could possibly have been committed by the British public. Everything is now coming home to roost and it's going to take a lot of putting right.
Lived abroad for years - in far better run places than the UK!
Sorry for posting relevance on a thread when people are talking about the difference of living in different countries and the services they provide.Yes, I seem to remember you mentioning that once.

There are always those who will not see, regardless of the evidence.You’re not selling it mate…
It seems you missed my attempt at sarcastic humourThere are always those who will not see, regardless of the evidence.
Probably but then you hid it very well.It seems you missed my attempt at sarcastic humour
So, why did you come back then ?!Lived abroad for years - in far better run places than the UK!

I feel so much better now you've set the bar so low. Yes I wasn't Jewish in nazi Germany, I wasn't an Ethiopian in 84, I didn't live in horishima in 1945 or Chernobyl in the 80s. I didnt fight in the battle of stalingrad, i didn’t live through the bubonic plague. What a time to be alive!The 13 years of electing bad governments happened because the opposition parties have been so poor they were unelectable. Sure, the Tories could have done better, but nobody in their right mind could have made an intelligible decision to vote for Labour. What this thread is about is the country being fcuked. Countries are fcuked when like Iran women are executed because they are wearing the 'wrong' clothes. Countries are fcuked when like Ukraine the people go to bed not knowing if they will be bombed and where 7 million people are heading for winter with no heating. Countries are fcuked when like Russia the people are told their sons died fighting to protect them from nazis. Countries are fcuked when like Sudan there is no medicine or food for the people. Countries are fcuked when like Saudi a journalist critical of the government is invited to its embassy where he is chopped into pieces and put out with the garbage.
People in this country have no idea what hardship is. They think the Government should bail them out because they can't afford an iphone 14 and can only take one week holiday in Florida this year instead of two. They think having to choose between food and Sky tv is poverty. 60 years of soft living have blurred the perceptions of the overfed, spoiled, entitled UK citizen who really has no idea what suffering is. It's a good job Putin didn't choose to invade the UK because I fear that he would have been faced with a nation so soft that the people would be queueing to surrender. If there is a single reason to believe that the UK is fcuked it's that far too many of its citizens are suffering from acute entitlement syndrome and have lost sight of reality.
