Britain is not a good country to live

I agree with the foreigners comment and my family originate from Jamaica. I see places now that look like downtown bagdad all the things that were great about the UK have all gone, back in the day foreigners came and intergrated and everyone generally got on now these new breed of incomers seem to hate England and its people.

What is your opinion on life in Iraq or Syria?

It depends where you live in Britain. London is terrible. Where I live is good.

For many reasons.. its too corporate, everything revolves around money and working constantly with little time to enjoy life. Secondly theres little to enjoy here as the weather sucks and the country it tiny. The people are also rude, and boring. Lastly its full of hostility between different races of people, nationalities and religion. Also Britain has pissed off most of the world so the country and its people are always a target.

I tend to agree. The soullessness infecting this country has reached such a critical level that I personally can't cope with it anymore. That's why I've moving to Uganda, to rediscover real people and hopefully learn how to live again (if its not too late).

When I'm in Uganda it feels like I've been let out of prison.

British people work considerably fewer hours per year than the OECD average. Out of the world's circa 250 countries and territories, we're 80th largest and the British passport is probably the best in the world for providing you with visa-free travel abroad.

If you think there's racial hostility here, I suggest you try travelling. We're a ****ing paradise of racial tranquillity compared to most multicultural countries.

Britain is one of the most polite countries around.

once labour gets voted back in britain will be humane to live in once more

It most definitely isn’t. Try Italy or Germany, much less riffraff and council slum areas. Britain always seems grey, dull and rude, personified by British politicians.

I kind of agree. Many countries have worse issues, but that doesn't mean Britain is great either. We still have lords who own way too much land and earn money for nothing, aristocratic families and massive gated houses. There is a fundamental lack of respect for other people in this country. Sure the NHS is good, but private healthcare is abundant and dentistry is not free - the NHS is actually under-funded and is not the best health system in the world. On the roads, no-one drives safely or within the speed limit. On dual carriageways which I have to drive on daily to get to uni, work or to the shops, I normally travel from 65-75 miles per hour depending on conditions and I feel like I'm doing 30. Tailgating is ubiquitous, police have tailgated me a number of times. Jobs are hard to come by, people under 21 years old have below minimum wage for entry level jobs and the waiting time for therapy is abysmal. Uni is seen as a rite of passage for people, I'm worried we'll turn into South Korea pretty soon. Everyone is obsessed with becoming famous and making money but no-one wants to be an engineer or a doctor and help people - everyone wants it all for themselves. Kids are made to make career decisions at 14, mental health issues affect way too many people and they're a symptom of the world we live in. And then we've got this Brexit mess, inept politicians, a constant terrorist threat, hatred for certain groups among different groups, it's insane. There's no love in society, no sense of a greater good. Students are put under a lot of pressure and our society is very family-centric in terms of dependency of the young, which can be disastrous when we get controlling parents or poor families not being able to afford a better life for their kids.

I could go on, but you hopefully get the point. We're not the worst country in the world, but we can always improve. I consider myself lucky to be British and in the 21st century all things considered, but our society could be much better. At least I think so.

Every country has poor areas. If you see a lot of "riffraff" perhaps question why you are living in such an area.

I don't live in such an area. Maybe if you get out of your gated community and walk about a little, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Haha, I don't live in a gated community.

If you smell one **** person in a day you met a person who sells of ****. If you meet **** people all day you need need to check your shoes.

Bye then. Have a nice journey.

The UK is #1 in the safest places to live an best education. We have free healthcare, gun laws and there are no dangerous religions. In America they have to pay for healthcare, there's no gun laws and many dangerous religions.
