The Future Britain

[Red 7]

Why don't we just leave them behind and us Men go like the three muskateers but not in a gay way

Reminds me of a song, to quote Mr Nick Cave :

We are artists
We are mathematicians
Some of us hold extremely
High positions

But we are tired
We're hardly breathing
And we're free
Go tell the women that we’re leaving

We're sick and tired
Of all this self-serving grieving
All we wanted was a little consensual rape in the morning
And maybe a bit more in the evening

We are scientists
We do genetics
We leave religion
To the psychos and fanatics

But we are tired
We got nothing to believe in
We are lost
Go tell the women that we’re leaving

We've done our thing
We’re hip to the sound
of six billion people
Going down

We are magicians
We are deceiving
We’re free and we’re lost
Go tell the women that we’re leaving

[English History X]

RIP Britain and the British way of life

I think most British people have given up on Britain, too late it’s gone I’m afraid. Our way of life has changed in the major cities, never to return. This Gov will never listen to any concerns thinking themselves better than the common men/women, instead providing a theoretical design for our subsequently hapless lives. It is quite hopeless; I cannot believe that last time around the public did not get rid of these nincompoops. Indeed the areas where there are so many problems were the worst offenders in voting for more of the same rubbish. RIP Britain.

I will stay in my country retreat until in no doubt a handful of years I will have to search for a new haven further away from all the madness. I doubt the escape will involve other countries.

Just move to mid-Wales.

The few weeks / months / years has un-settled me for where i think Britain is going to be in the next few years / decades.

The amount of tax we pay on everything and the amount of crap that goes on is making me and Miss Cooperinliverp00l to really consider leaving it all behind and move to Australia / America.

Can house prices continue to raise, Tax continue to raise, introduction of road pricing, crap NHS and Transport,

Is the grass likely to be greener in another country ? What would you do

you think ur gonna get better treatment in the states?

2 weeks holiday per year, pay ur own health bills, dentist bills, u need a lot of money to move out there, and i certainly would rely on the Aus or US income as a good living.

i aim to be in South Africa in 20 years .... retired and fat!

Don't worry, you'll soon lose weight - by then SA will be another Zimbabwe!

That's not somewhere I'd ever contemplate!

It's 'Tell the women we're leaving' from the album 'Grinderman'

(note: in record shops it's usually racked under 'Grinderman' rather than Nick Cave/Bad Seeds.)

Definately the best album of the year so far, but also check out 'No more shall we part' by the same artist.

In exactly the same position. Annoying, isn't it?

Too bloody right, she seems to think that she will never see her parents again, despite the fact that you can get cheap flights to Canada nowadays and communication is a world away from what it used to be.

Even a couple of years stint out there would be nice. Now and then I have a look at mls.ca just to toruture myself with the houses you can get for the money.
