Seriously I wonder if we should have a General Moan forum, or better yet a UK Moan forum.

I don't know about the other Brits here but I am getting kind of fed up with STEED's rants and moans. If he thinks the UK is bollocks then leave, go to another country.

I can't believe some of the stuff I read here. I think it is bloody ungrateful and it seems as if you don't appreciate how good we have it in the UK. If you want to moan I can think of a good many places I have visited in the past 10 years where people have a greater reason to moan but don't. They just get on with their lives.

And even with all its problems I'd rather have the NHS than the US system.

I seriously question the state of mind who have nothing to do but moan.
Free at the point of delivery yes (except of course if you need to see a dentist where you end up paying out a fortune if you need work done), but it has to be paid for and that was the point I was trying to make.

Personally I think the UK has gone to the dogs and if I could I would be off to live abroad tomorrow. And I can only see the country going down hill further in the future. I have visited many poor countries and I know where you are coming from when you say "we don't appreciate how good we have it in the UK", but I have also been to countries such as Australia and New Zealand where the quality of life is much better than it is here, in my opinion anyway.

How long did you go to NZ and Australia for? There always is the grass is greener syndrome, but very often the reality doesn't match the dream.

STEED is that 67% of all Daily Mail readers want to leave? Fine for all I care they can bugger off, would free up a lot of space.

I spent time in Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney doing work for the UK Government. I also spent a short time in Auckland. I agree "the grass is greener syndrome" can have an affect, but to be honest if I could I would be willing to give it a go.

And no I don't read the Daily Mail or any other newspaper for that matter.

Hmmm if 67% of the UK population left, hey our problems solved :) :)

Lets decide who should go.

Of course "free" healthcare is not free, but you pay over the year, and don't have to bunker your money because you could never know what happends (I hate that!). You can just say "I payed my tax, so my healthcare is secure!".

I'll pitch you a tent in the backyard Steed. You won't have to pay property tax. Internet connection might be a bit dicey tho. Sadly, the nearest proper 'pub' serving fish and chips is up in British Columbia. :lol:

You haven't been to Eastside, namely Redmond lately I see! But I will keep my proper pub secret!

PS. I was pleasantly surprised to see they 'Even' had Rochefort #10 readily available!

They say, you can judge a country by the amount of people who leave it .



The number of people leaving the UK reached 360,000 in 2004, a figure confirming a recent trend. It is estimated that 450,000 will leave this year.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4359756.stm


The reson why they are leaving:

Taxes
Labour
Islam

360,000 sounds like leaving a sinking ship to me.

I object the way this green tax will be forced on us, did anyone watch the news? The way it came across was dreadful pay your green tax or die! Pardon that is using fear, how can paying these taxes will combat the situation? America is not interested Russia is hard up and hang on China and India are coming up fast and making there mark. No Mr Blair this is not on and you are about to cross the line with this one.

For the purposes of this debate, i am posting yet another huge bnp vote.
Rotherham MBC, Rotherham West shows that British Politics is heading into the unknown.

With the horror of doubled taxes being mentioned, out of the abyss comes the voice of the people, "We have had enough"

Where I live my council ward is represented by BNP councillor. I never voted for them myself but I can understand why they have received such strong support in my area. To be fair though, I don't think it was taxes that swung it!

I agree that climate change is now being used by the UK government as a blunt instrument to raise taxes in the UK. I can't see the money raised from such taxes being invested in combating climate change.
