Hi steed this may sound funny but i joined the Army to get out of the uk. Werid i know. But it means i can stay out here in Germany as lons as i like or i could get posted to other places like Canada and Cyprus to name a but a few. My reasons for getting out of the UK are that i was getting very fed up with the way things were going in the uk. my wife and i due are first child in feb and the is no way on earth i want her brought up in the uk It has such a violent society these days.
People who i went to school with who had already had a family were finding it nieh on impossible to get a roof over there heads. There are people i know of that work there hands to the bone week after week day after day but still cant get a house for them and there familys. It justs makes you sick when you watch the tv and see people that have not even been born in the country coming over and getting all of the above put on a plate for them. Dont get me wrong i have no problem with people coming to the uk to work and pay taxes like the rest of us. I just dispize that our goverment seem to put on a plate for these people that want to play the system. what a large section of people that have lived there all there life cant get even though they work there asses to the bone.
About 4 years ago i went travelling around the southern hemisphere i was shocked to see what a great way a life they had. I though to myself right this is where i want to be soon as possible.
Dont get me wrong im proud to be English but i just am very sad with where my country has gone.
