      Mmmm, well thought out.

      You should leave the UK. Become part of the "Brain" drain.

      Just out of interest, where are you going to go?????

        I'm a bit of a pessimist (and seldom disappointed), but I don't think GB is finished yet. I look at all the fine minds that post on this board and feel there is still hope

            Small business - blown out of the water by big corporations
            NHS - collapsing due to more using than contributing
            Social Security - See above
            Crime - worse than ever, prisons full, criminals being let off with token hand slaps
            Immigration - off the scale and out of control

            dont mean to be a pessimist but is it time to stop reading the Daily Mail?
            I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

              That's a strange article, but in the UK at least there is a similarity with Rome - decadence. The belief that we can:
              1. Spend what we like, when we like
              2. Allow kids to have and do whatever they like
              3. Have a prizes-for-all education system
              4. Reduce practical policing
              5. Open our borders to everybody
              6. Curtail wealth creation and encourage dependence on the state
              7. Add unfettered, self-indulgent red tape to business, public services and the public alike

                I dont know where is better as Ive never lived anywhere else but Britain feels like one of those facebook parties where the parents house gets mashed when theyre on holiday

                whats the daily mail got to do with it? why insinuate Im a right wing tory blue rinser just because I questioned the sustainability of the current free for all in the UK?

                  We will be fine as long as the population keeps growing at 1/2 million people a year

                      Doesn't decadence and decline mean sinking into a morass of mindless sex orgies. How come I am not getting my share? We should be throw lefties into arenas with lions too.
