Re: Britain isn't that bad
I sypathise, that is very unfair.
I'm not sure though why you think other countries would be any better.
In Ontario my wife was overlooked for jobs many times because she is
a not a visable minority, yep, that job probably went to someone less
qualified who arrived in Canada last week! That made me very angry.

My child is deaf (with additional learning needs) and we go to the hospital and there is no interpreter there, but there is for the non english speaking. When you have paid taxes for years it feels like you are left out in the cold and all your money is being spent looking after others. This may seem a very blinkered view, but unless you have had to experience this then you wouldn't understand.

Ah yes, sunshine ( extreme heat and humidity, hurricanes, and mosquitos)
beaches ( you get tired of the sandy, sticky, lay in the sun and swim in sticky salty water routine)
big houses (they dont really make you that happy inside)
Disney world ( ok after going there probably at least two dozen times, I'd like a real holiday to another land)
No, nothing is wrong with England....Its beautiful and close to europe and full of wonderful countryside and amasing people and history.
