Good to be aware of all the stuff going on,but depending where you live in the uk,you dont have to see this rubbish behaviour every day,or be in the thick of it.

I think it all depends on your reasons for wanting to move/wanting to stay. Most people return home because of family, friends and financial reasons. You really have to put down the pros and cons for each country, tough decision!

I didn't bother to read the entire page, but read enough of it to see that the author is touting opinions as facts, and most of his references are from his own essays. Who references themselves, ffs?

When I saw the OP's first post and the link I thought this must be wind-up.

Utterly unbelievable that some people actually believe this trash...
