Well said.We have loads of problems that's for sure but I still think I was extremely lucky to have been born and brought up here in the UK. I like most of us posting on this thread have done reasonably well out of the system here in the UK, own house, no debt, index linked pensions etc. Now some of that is down to my hard work, but the vast majority was down to being lucky what country I was born in and having parents that looked after me.
There are dozens of countries in the world that you have virtually no chance of getting out of absolute poverty no matter how bright you are or how hard you work. Health systems in these countries are non existent for the poor and life expectancy is lower than what it was in the UK over 100 years ago.
Our NHS system is far from perfect but there are billions of people in the world would love to have access to it. I think we just need to forget about once being a world power and having lots of influence in the world, we are now just a middle tier military entity being lead by a bunch of shysters but I still think its a good country to live in and there are far more countries in the world that are much worse.
Totally agreed. It's why I came back.
