Hi Cory, I found your blog after the comment you left on my post about the struggles of living in England this post sums up so many of my feelings about the UK and how difficult it can be to live here as an immigrant. im sorry you and your husband had to go through what you did and now I see it (albeit from a different angle) how bad this country can be to people who are deemed different. I think after a decade of living in the UK, certain things started changing a bit too much and got to us. The responses are more illuminating, reminding me, a Brit, of how and why I want out.good luck with what comes your way Bravo to your writing skills!

It makes me sad to read this. You hit the nail on the head for me.

To think that we have regressed so much as a society is an eternal sadness. As a Labour supporter with some Lib Dem views, I cannot reason with the Brexit idea no matter what. Countries in Europe are becoming less and less accepting and open. Brexit will force the country to develop the regions and become less dependent on London, which in turn will reduce the pressure on housing in the South-East. I heard the same often from Singaporeans (and Australians) who had lived, studied, worked and felt great connection to Britain (language, culture and yes, Queen etc). I have lived all over the UK and when I first arrived, years ago, it was a different, more open place. there are times I just break down in tears thinking about how screwed I really am and I am not a dual national so I cannot leave the United Kingdom any time soon even though I desperately want to leave.

Food: obviously subjective. No school for my kids.. All too expensive. This means that buying a great second car in the UK will cost you much (LIKE MUCH!) Walnut honey cakes. So to sum up I'm 100% with you and wish you the very best of luck in your move. This is not to say that England (or the rest of the UK) is not a good place to live. It's weird, I love Scotland, but it's difficult sometimes to truly envision a life there.

This is before any deductions. Because they expect Engineering to be taken care of bu foreign workforce! We need to stand together and show the world that love prevails.

Its streets are filled with mullet, snapback, nike, [] Is there an article of apology that I have missed? What we're seeing now is a massive difference in the scale and effectiveness of these campaigns thanks to the pervasive nature of internet data mining and the use of techniques in machine learning to spot trends and correlations, coupled with lessons from the field of behaviourism, to weaponise the information. Best of luck with your venture, I really enjoyed reading this article, you really nailed all the points! The negatives are playing out on the world stage. Like many new and unexplored places, it needs to be protected from abuse (rise in properly prices, too much tourism and so forth). This is one of the oldest political strategies. We just moved to Budapest for a bit to try and mix things up a bit. Register Number: 04666380 (England and Wales), VAT No. I thought I am alone on the Harry Potter thing, and I remember looking for Hogwarts during my Scottish highland tours. You may be from Scotland Wales or Northern Ireland which would make your question laughable. Australia is pretty great, I am not surprised you miss it! I was a covard and I even lied to myself for a good 3 years before that. Sadly, the internet is full of these instances so there isn't much point me going through them. I'm British.

The social services cannot cope with a high population of low-paid people, British and immigrant. We've left Germany for good a couple of months ago and we're now back living in England. The perception is Britain 'easy' - do what you want, whatevers. And you know what? There are pros and cons to this. It is dangerous to assume that all British people are racists. Every single part of British culture, from the horrible alcoholism, the extreme prices, the CLASSIST caste system, the xenophobia, the crime, the sexual harassment on the streets, the weather, the crazily competitive job market to the dating scene, has been HORRID and I am extremely glad that I left that hellhole 2 weeks ago.

Something that I should add - if you visit Yorkshire namely Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, Goole, Hull and Scarborough. Hi, I can see what you mean in your article. Europe has Merkel, Tusk and Juncker. I only just came across your article. I grew up in 'Middle England' Home Counties and have lived in the Midlands and Yorks so have a fair view of Britain, England (vs London) and consider myself (and family) thoroughly British (I open my mouth and you will agree too!). There's only one thing Brits love more than telling people how great their home towns are, and that's complaining about their home towns. Compared to Italy, Germany and most other EU countries schools and universities are really easy, not in depth and way too expensive for the quality they offer. Chilling by the pool exploring the hotel's cultural hotspots? I will always be a foreigner to the world and a slave to the number of days/weeks/years I can stay according to visas.
