Anyone else hate living in Britain?

They definitely do in a lot of mosques unless they are too small and then the guys only go because it's compulsory like you said My Pakistani friends used to go to other activities at the mosque too they had stuff on for girls in Manchester

With his opinion that our culture's excellent.

aha...
aren't u british??

Not everyone likes their culture

In terms of life as a whole the UK is one of the best countries in the world. However, things that really irritate me are;
Chavs.
Mass immigration (mass immigration of the middle or upper classes from these countries never occurs, so again chavs really).

Things that don't really affect me but are still a little annoying are;
Ridiculous house prices.
How the public continue voting for politicans who don't actually care even remotely about them.

Any country that was wealthy and could remove the above I would go to if at all possible.

Hey! You're not alone, I dislike living in England. I just find it so boring and snobbish, as well as generally lacking in culture. I find America much more interesting, and would prefer to live abroad.

Other countries have things like "chavs" I guess unless you're in Monaco

I don't mind immigrants but the ones who come from places like Eastern Europe and then spread racist views can **** off

Don't most politicians not care about people in any country though

Like I said, the UK is one of the best countries. Its problems regarding politics, wealth, etc are all much less than other countries.

I don't want to sound anti UK, my parents are very traditional and I respect them

I definitely like some aspects of our culture, but having done a lot of travelling I find that people from most other countries tend to be so much more open and friendly than Brits. I was unhappy for most of my childhood having grown up in a very "middle England" area of London where there were mostly people who were white like we were and not even diverse Brits. I am in my 20s now and have lived and worked around the country, North Midlands and South, and still don't like it.

We are often really negative and small minded and moany in this country. I hate reading things like the Guardian or the Telegraph now because it's always navel gazing depressing articles. We have a **** attitude towards success compared to countries like America or China. We are too history focused, I have every respect for traditions like the monarchy but its too much. Also, I am not London centred but outside London a lot of our major cities just don't compare to others IMO. And even London these days is largely a playground for the rich

Yes I am thinking of moving before people suggest it, however am I being too negative (ironically?)

Where do you live in England? Yes, the class system is outdated for example. All countries have rich people but the British obsession with class

I have never seen you troll or get flamed

The UK is objectively speaking, one of the best places to live in the world. Most people in the world would sell their grandmother to live here. There is a reason immigrants flock here. I can assure you OP that this is very much a case of the grass is greener on the other side on your part. Everyone loves to moan about the problems of the wealthy, first world country they live in.

I love living here and don't find people to be cold or closed at all, it seems like a total stereotype. I lived in Spain and they often commented how I must prefer it because the people are so much more open - in fact it was the opposite.

Spot on, UK sucks in comparison to quite a bit of the world. The list grows every year. Use to be a time when the UK was decent but now it's just below par. Can think of many places better.

Yup, this country is pretty dire. People always compared it to the worst e.g. "at least it isn't as bad as...". WHat happened to trying to be better? But trying would go against British mentality. INstead you are meant to feel guilty for succeeding. Also no one does anything with their time - they just lounge about rather than going out and doing things (though I suspect that is partially because the UKs spending power is dire and I think at breaking point).

You are right - go abroad. People tend to have a much happier attitude towards life and have a better standard of living.

I would have said it's just London but I have lived/worked in a lot of places (I'm older than most on TSR) and travelled to other countries.
Obviously not everyone. But general British culture is pretty negative

Suggestions?

When do you think the UK was decent?
