Where the UK goes, the Rep. follows. In general. The two islands have thousands of years of shared history, shared culture - for the most part - language, legal systems etc. The Anglophone nations will always pull together when the chips are down.

Il stick with Europe thanks. Fecking west brits!?

I wouldn’t go as far as that, or dismiss any generation as better or worse than the last.

 

But there is no doubt in my mind that food poverty or whatever you call it in the UK has reduced in a generation.

Not all! The few young guys who work for me now and then all know what hard work is. 

 

That said, give me and Irishman, Scotsman or a Pole any day over the "average" Englishman.
