Does anyone else hate England?

And want to emigrate. For various personal reasons, I've come to the conclusion that I hate the place. I'm not expecting utopia anywhere, I'm not an idiot. But there's something I've encountered with authority, and power, the way I think this country is corrupted and people are so inculcated, the way it will never change whilst seeming progressive on one level, and the way it will sap joy and humanity out of your life.

I alos think there's a generational war too, and the disciples of Thatcher, the generation above me, seem to want to bleed everyone dry.

Very miserable place.

Hate is a strong word.

I'd say its not the best place to be in the world and i'd prefer to be in the US, Canada or an emerging market with high rates of growth (more opportunities).

It's not really economics just. I'd even go to places with worse economies that are better in other respects. I agree re Canada, also US but not so much, But I'd love to live in France for so many reasons besides economics, civil liberties, space, weather etc. Germany would be prosperous too. I always had an aversion a bit to NZ and OZ, but now I think they are prosperous and I'd be almost relieved to get there if I got the chance. I'm very troubled by the state of civil liberties, and I feel there are some sinister aspects in this country increasingly.

So rather than trying to improve Britain, you'd rather tell everyone who wants progress to bugger off?

I'm in the process of immigrating to Canada and I don't think it's as easy-going as people make it out to be.

I've noticed there's a bigger drug problem there than in the UK. And the weather is rather depressing. I love the cold and winter, but you essentially live indoors all season, there's a lot of heated underground tunnels in towns and cities, it's that cold! The only mild area is British Columbia, which is ridiculously expensive to live in and the majority of people are immigrants in their own communities.

I actually recommend South Africa to people wishing to emmigrate. It is a developing country, but it's got the perfect landscape, weather and culture. The people are a mix of British, Dutch and Africans which really makes it multicultural. Safety isn't an issue if you live on the coast or west side of the country, and the people look after each very well. The major benefit is the incredibly weak exchange rate and an extremely low cost of living. Most Brits that move out of the UK can afford a very luxury lifestyle in South Africa.

Or you could take the ultimate plunge and move to South Korea or Japan, both have an extremely high quality of life and freedoms, and Japan will soon be crying for immigrants to support it's economy.

I love the England of old, not what England has become.

Wish I had a time machine to take me back to the old days.

Well they're not trying to make it better, they're just moaning. If they want to make it better that would be brilliant but they can't be bothered. Complaining is easier.

Who Hate us (the English):
- the Scots
- the French
- the IRA

any developed country in the world is far better to live in than england

There are far too many moaning minnies around these days. They have a massive sense of entitlement and lack any strong social sense. I hope you find happiness and fulfilment elsewhere.

Pretty much everyone hates the English so I hear, except the 'Murican's cos they like our accent....

Not true at all; the Germans, Dutch and Scandinavians (the more prosperous, northern Europeans) don't hate us, at least not nearly as much as everyone else.

Don't you wonder why so many people are unhappy though? It's because Britain has become a bit of a joke letting people take over and do what they want. The government has no power any more.
