As most of you are aware - Britain is a complete and utter write-off. There is absolutely no chance of brining it back. IMHO The only recourse is to get the **** out. Where else is there to go? Oz, Canada?... are they any better?

Firstly explain yourself as to why you think the UK is as you state an utter write off.

Try it, just keep it clean or is there an ethnic tone to it?

Yes Chip, lets all point at the Racist Xenophobe as say Urrrgggg look every one. How could it not have a ethnic element? Yardie/Eastern European/whatever gangs shooting the spot up/drug running/pimping or what ever they can make money out of, the cost of housing/living/motoring/taxation, the money pit that is the NHS, crime, everyone's enemy - single mothers, Politicians, public services, Fat Boy Prescott, London, the media, the police, The Royal Family, the judiciary system the list is fcking endless! The ******* spot is a shambles and it aint ever gonna improve.

If you dont like it then go.
Isn't that what I'm saying, **** head?

So go then. With an attitude like that maybe you'd be better off elsewhere before you get so depressed you'll harm yourself.

Out of interest where are you likely to go?

OK, so you want suggestions,
Try canada and Australia. No good asking peeps on here we obviously think UK is OK or we'd be coming with you.

How about south of France for a nice laid back lazy lifestyle.
Good food, chaep beer/wine and women with sexy accents. what more could a man want.

Question

Do other comaparable countries ( eg Canada/US/Oz) have such high taxes (income tax/VAT/Petrol/CGT/Stamp duty/council tax..the list goes on), urban decay(crime/drugs etc), awful overcrowded dispepaired roads, a crumbling health system, a flood of bogus asylum seekers, a failing education system?.......

How do you know anywhere else is better then ? You could always stay and actually try to make things better (or at least more like the way you want them to be)

i agree to a point about what you're trying to say but to be honest i dont think britain is THAT bad a place to live

i think this is very much a 'grass is greener on the other side' sort of arguement.

canada is excellent. i stayed with some friends in the rockies at a place called Fernie. loverly place all year round. snowy in the winter (excellent ski resort) hot and sunny in summer. its in BC but near the Alberta/BC border so if you smoke you get cheap **** in Alberta and if you drink you get cheap drink in BC. (different Tax laws.)

love it too bits. would live there if i could.

V45DSM

spot on mate agree 100%

If i could i would be gone tonite.

Oh and if anyone wants to give me £100k i'll book me tickets.

The uk has had it.

Britain today :-

No industry
Run by a man only out to make a name for himself.
Have no oposing political party.
An out of control police system.
The rich getting richer & poor getting screwed.
Council taxes at 10% increase per year.
No transport system.
****e roads.
Huge taxes.
No medical system (unless u are private).
Road tax pays for 2jags cars and houses.

Take our wonderful car industry, a german company builds the mini, why couldnt we. Nissans are biult here, and honda, **** knows who owns rolls royce / bentley, jesus it cant get any worse

Watch and it will

AGREE 100% BRITAIN IS CRAP

Isn't that what I'm saying, **** head?

Idiots like yourself are symtomatic of people with much to say but little to do. Quite often full of wind and p1ss.

If you've got nothing better to do than do down your country take your pathetic opinions to another place, then complain about that too.

Sick to death of seeing these posts "I hate this country I want out". I was hoping that Paul Daniels made good his promise of leaving as soon as Labour got in, another big mouthed wally.

Ah yes but of course, after the Sun editorial comments, you haven't got a clue where you'd rather live, as long as it's somewhere else. What a troubled and ignorant person you are.

Anybody would think this is the only country in the world with taxes FFS, grow up kiddies or sling your hooks.

You're the type of person who thinks a broadsheet is something fat lasses wipe their ***** with

scoobynutta - well said.

if the UK is that bad then what's keeping all these people who despise the place so much? Just a load of lame excuses, mainly. If they had the courage of their convictions they would be on the first plane out of here.

you are really taking the level of debate to new heights, aren't you?

i agree with someone else; big deal.

why don't you stow away in the undercarriage if you can't afford a plane ticket. apparently they really do pressurise that part of the 'plane, you'll be fine. just think of the wonderful new life you can have when you get to calcutta.

I am so sorry you seem upset that I dont agree with you. Maybe you can find someone who will when you head for pastures green.(FFS dont come to Wales)
