Are you still paying into the system???? If not I guess you will let the tax office know that you dont need all your pension. And of course you wouldnt come back to the UK to use the NHS at anytime will you.
Well done for leaving this crap hole. some of us will keep peddling for now.

And I have no problems with people emigrating, Im going to do it myself, but at least stand up for the country that you come from.

Are you just being obtuse here? You claimed that the NHS and Government Pensions are free. THEY ARE NOT FREE!!!!! They are paid for out of taxes of some kind. Your other comments have nothing to do with refuting this.

What you pay in NI wouldnt cover your health bills if you had cancer or a long term illness, thats what Im trying to get over to you!!!

You get more out of it than you pay in, its that simple.
Its free because you dont pay to go see the doctor or make pay to go see the Emergency room. You dont pay for the plaster if your leg gets broken, or cancer drugs when your in the hospital or morphine if your in an RTA.

This isnt being obtuse its just Im a realist rather than being a worrymonger all the time.

It's funded by taxation. I for one got sick of my taxes funding healthcare for some chav on a 60 a day habit who never paid into the system. It's an outrage, and again one of the reasons I left.

Exactly what Im talking about, its seeing the bad side. there is a lot of good in the UK but you just want to see the down side of it all!!!!

And its partly funded by Taxation!!

Must be different here in the UK. We reckon we have made a profit on our first child to year one if you add up all the tax re-bates.

Come on guys. Many of the examples here are taken out of The Sun newspaper. Since when did The Sun epitomize British life. The Sunday Sport is a different story, but The Sun? I know this thread is a little stacked to knock Britain from it's title although look at mine! But I have fond memories of Britain and while I agree there is widespread degradation in society, I think it's wider spread than people think.

Here in Vancouver it's not as bad in some ways. But I live in one of the nicer and pricier parts and there's always trainers hanging from overhead cables and graffiti on people's garage door including my own. Canada doesn't yet have such a label for it, but it's in the mail. Thankfully it's Canada post so they still have some time. Look at gang warfare in recent years. An American was citing gang and gun crimes in Britain to me once as a retort to my comments about same in US. But i'm getting it on my doorstep here. Never like that in Britain but then it was all fields then.

I can't quite decide who is being serious here and who isn't.

Hey ho.

The photo could have earned $10,000 on Funniest Videos if it had been an American or Canadian baby, doncha think??

Youths today are the same all over the world I am afraid, just as many Bogans in Australia as in the UK in my time in both Countries and i have heard Canada is no better with its youth.

Almost Canadian

So unless the UK is being funded by corporations (who said they were all bad), exactly how are they being funded?

I accept the Blair and his ilk totally screwed up the financial legacy that the previous government provided them with and the deficit will be felt for the next generation or 12, but, when the government ran relatively balanced budgets, how were such items paid for?

Sounds like the shallow end of the gene pool is prospering in the UK. Better off to embrace them and invite them in "for a cuppa".

I couldn't agree more. The place is infested with scrunchy wearing kappa slappers and rat boy criminals who when they get caught get sent on spanish holidays rather than doing hard time. It's scandalous, and one of the reasons why I left.
