Yep, and it's well known that the Vikings stole most of the good looking women 1300 years ago.. at least up here😁

No I'm not talking of one specific place, come here and walk the centres of Stoke, Derby or Nottingham (for example) at night,  your mind would soon be changed.

Fair enough although I have never visited those places.

Well I wouldn't say that I hate the place! 😁

 

There has been a widening of the gap between the richest and the poorest here in the UK over the past 30 years or so, accelerated in the past 10-15. It's much more apparent here in southern England than in Scotland (IMO).

 

I think that the quality of life is dropping pretty quickly now too, with unprecedented pressures on personal finances, coupled with tax rises and public service cuts. I'm not sure what is going to be left in terms of government budget in a decade or so, if interest rates rise and public debt has to be serviced.

 

I have no idea what the answer is really. Any notion that I think might affect reasonable change is too controversial or culturally incompatible I think. 

 

I just feel very lucky to be in a position to move to country where fundamentally everyone seems to be a lot less stressed and a lot healthier. That said, I've not yet been in Sweden for Midsommar, where reputedly several months worth of alcohol are drunk in one boozy, frog dancing evening! 

Shirley there has always been a big gap between the rich and the poor and no doubt there always will be. At least in the UK the poor still have access to social care and healthcare and with a bit of determination they can pull themselves up the ladder. 

 

Good luck on the move to Sweden, I don't know what a frog dance is though 🐸. if it involves lots of beer then it can't be a bad thing.

What?? Labour are as much a set of scumbags as the Tories? That does not fit the narrative though.

There is the potential for change if we collectively do something about it.

Mark I could have put up a dozen links bud, they are all the same I’m afraid. If you really believe Labour good Tory bad then fine. As a nation we couldn’t even stick together when MSM and politicians were taking the population for mugs over the past two years.
