Is the Uk going down the pan......?

Question

Does anyone else think england is a c**p place to live now?!?

what are peoples views and opinions?

Answer 1

Interesting ! Seems however you are asking two questions . Uk is 4 unitary parts of which England is but one . I live in a rural part not in England and life is pleasant , rewarding and enjoyable . I drove today some 30 miles today on a narrow road People stopped to let you pass gave a  smile and a wave .Spoke with a handful of Polish workers on country house renovation job I am involved with They have integrated already and would like to remain here . I visit  England twice a year . A rural part - again life seems to be quite OK . Cities be they Leeds , London or Glasgow are a  different ball game Sure if I was there for any length of time doubt have a different view point !!

Answer 2

England is becoming a worse place to live because we as a nation have become soft and apathetic, due to our luxurious lifestyles. The very fact that nearly everyone has a high standard of living, such as a home, electricity, tv, internet, plenty of food and drink, a car, a mobile phone (i could go on!) means that we have no interest in making england a better place to live, cos we'd rather go and watch big brother 9 than confront the yobs that turn our streets into no-go areas.

S'true. Britain could be great again, but no one seems to care

Answer 3

Its not great but then many countries aren't much better.

You take any western country and yes they may do some things better than us, but there is a negative where ever you live.

There will always be crime, though i do agree youths are far less respectful than they were 20 years ago, its the change of times, many things have got better.

Its a better way of life for many, but in comparison it is worse for others.

Answer 4

If it is, the vast majority of the world is in a worse place.

I've got clean water, a roof over my head, and no-one's shooting at me.

I don't have to worry if I can afford to go to the doctor, and there is a doctor.

I can afford to buy bread and rice.

The summers aren't over 30, the winters aren't  below -10.

The Army doesn't do politics.

If you throw a dart at a globe, the chances of you hitting a better place are..?
