The 'British dream' (without the country cottage bit). 'Chav' is a word that we heard all the time, like ten years ago! This is before any deductions. You are a disgusting racist and a bigot. Safety: the UK has one of the lowest homicide rates in the entire world The global peace index is NOT a good representation of safety, it takes a lot of other factors into account, for instance, the fact that the UK has atomic bombs and most other countries don't.

We had been coming to England very regularly since 2011 (my Mom lives here, too) and it has changed so much! In fact, I am in the market for a new European car (which allows me to drive on the right-hand side) and the equivalent of the car I am selling here, is 5 times the price in any other European country. Can you imagine that? For all these things we really really really love the UK: low taxation, laissez faire and flexibility/open-mindness of the British (especially the English ) people in business and life is refreshing.

It is interesting hearing these thoughts coming from someone that has immigrated to the UK, tried to integrate to your best ability and come to terms with the fundamental problems this country faces - even down to the petty and subjective nature of these things, like how you spell "Stacy". Are you feeling excited about moving around a bit more? Politically, we are also one of the best countries in the world. Did you like this article? Anyway, I hope you come back.
