If I was British I'd retire to Wales

I had a look on that site... it is no surprise Brit expats have a reputation as whnging gits. Those tossers are a bunch of depressed idiots.

That's one of the reasons I tried hard to avoid just hanging out with expats when I lived in Aus, so many of them spend their whole time whinging about life there and missing home.

Obviously they're not all like that, but enough are to justify the reputation as whinging poms. Funny now I'm back, I see the brits who whinge about the UK in a whole different light (They'd complain no matter where they lived IMO).

That is very true.

Bloody whingers. Lets all have a whinge about them.

I think some people emigarte for the wrong reasons, they are just running away from issues that will follow them. If you are a depressing tosser in the UK, you will be a depressing tosser in Aus.

I can live with whinging about whingers.

Unless there some other way I don't know about of expressing an opinion on this without sounding like a whinger?

No, I think most people would agree. Many of those desperate to emigrate are simply people with unhappy lives and they end up miserable somewhere else.

Didn't some high ranking copper just top himself in Wales? Question is, was he suicidal before he drove over the border or after?

I would urge you to consider that Britain is probably the best place to be, as long as you are a non-dom.

Crime is low, Britain is a tax haven for non-doms and the climate (thanks to the 4x4) is improving every year. Inflation is low and so the cost of living is very competitive.

Our policies have fostered a Britain that is safe, cheap and accessible to all.

Get over here Gordon!

Wouldn't you want to die somewhere decent?

He just couldn't bear the thought of dying in England.
