| Is it it time to quit the UK as it appears to be going downhill fast? |
|
 |
 
Paul S
|
the UK is only going downhill because the government that we put into power do as they please, not as the people want.
democracy my ***!!!! its a dictatorship hidden behind public votes.
in an ideal world, I should be able to say "i voted for you, therefore I dont not want anymore immigrants in this country" and that would be it, they would have to do as i say.
but unfortunately it dont work like that. even the voice of a million people isnt good enough to make the gov do as we want, not as they want. take iraq for example.
we should do a coup and overthrow them. power to the people lol. |

Hi - I think the facts speak for themselves. 200,000 people leaving the UK to settle permanently abroad in the past year alone. Add to this the 187,000 people that came to settle here, and decided that it's not the 'better life' that they had expected, who also left in the past year. If I was younger and fitter I wouldn't hesitate. |

We did that 2 years ago! Bought a property,shipped all our precious things,made friends,had a lovely social life,weather was glorious,scenery spectacular,locals friendly and welcoming. where are we now? Back in the uk,reason? No work, health went down hill and health care was not free, savings depleted and Hubby bitten to death every day. We miss it and wish we were still there but cannot afford to be! It is not always greener on the other side of the hill,and although Britain is in an awful state,it still has much to offer that other countries do'nt if you are not independantly wealthy. |

The Life and Death of Democracy
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new
constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government."
"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters
discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."
"From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the
beginning of history, has been about 200 years."
"During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1 from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to complacency;
6. from complacency to apathy;
7. from apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage"
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Number of States won by:
Gore: 19
Bush: 29
Square miles of land won by:
Gore: 580,000
Bush: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by:
Gore: 127 million
Bush: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2
Bush: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country.
Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase
of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy,
with some forty percent of the nation's population already
having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million
criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say
goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. ----------
Unfortunately, those who pass this on will be members of the
taxpaying public, not the freeloaders. |

Leave and go where? no i think that you would have a hard time trying to find a country that is as balanced mentally and as comfortable to live in as your actual GB. We have the history and culture to sustain us, Going down hill ? I think not. |

Oh Crud!

No.
I'll never give up |

NO! Never. Since when have British people been quitters? Shame on you. I admit that things are changing and we might not like those changes but where else are you going to go? America? God forbid. |

Class system is less prominent, more opportunities for all, the country is enjoying economic success, culturally and philosophically rich. Why do you want to leave?
The reasons I want to leave?
I cannot receive an average service unless I scream. People are conning each other. There's not a sense of trust. Neighbours ignoring each other. Courtesy and respect have gone, companies becoming greedy. I miss 20 years ago when old ladies smiled as they came out of cubicles in Toilets. |

I want to say no, it's time to put up a stance and fight for what we believe in but the government has taken away the British persons right to stand up for anything. Where has our freedom gone ? The U.K stopped been Britain when we allowed Blair to become a dictator and now we are half way to been an Islamic state. I hate saying this but Yes it is time to leave. |

As far as Im concerned, we are quite spoilt here in the UK for a lot of things and we seem to get used to being spoilt and expect more and more. Im foreign myself. I come from South Africa where the quality of life is good should you be able to afford it. Otherwise, we have lots of problems. This country has definitely going downhill over the past few years but you still have a lot you should be thankful for. I quite like a lot about it here but that isnt stopping me from moving to Australia in a couple of years.
Just remember, the grass isnt always greener |
