Do you love England?

[OOOSH YEAH]

Thread title “do you love England”

My first line “I have no love for England”

Ok you’ve answered it. Enjoy your day.

 

[Stormo]

Why don't you go?

Too old now marra. Had the chance to look into it years ago but we didn’t. Thing is we were in our late 20’s, no kids, I could’ve transferred and my lass at the time could’ve easily got a job there. But we didn’t. I don’t even know the reason.

It absolutely isn’t like. Most normal people keep their mouths shut. Those who speak loudest etc.

Not necessarily. Look at how people voted last December, look at how people reacted to panic buying of big roll, look at how people treat Thier own town's. That's the majority of people not a loud minority

 

[I am Boss]

Aye I’d consider Canada like.

Lovely country and incredibly friendly people. Was far from the extension of the US that I thought it would be

Again I ask, I take it you are better than these you revile?

Australia. Might be a bit more expensive these days but their way of living is so much better.

Never fancied oz
Watched that Miriam margoyles prog recently and outside of the rich areas of cities life looks good and it's sunny but hum drum

 

[Son of Stan]

I would say yes. What amuses me is that I would say I'm British, yet Scots, Welsh and Irish would possibly not say that about themselves.

 

[daveydavey]

Day to day, not really, but certainly don’t dislike living here.

On trips to the Lakes and ,in the right circumstances, London, I do yes.

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

I have no love for England itself.

I’m a British citizen, not an English citizen.

English nationalism is just a cause of bitter, lost, and often middle-aged men looking for identity.

Yea lad gerrim telt

Went to canadia about 30 years ago and thought it was great
People were really friendly and good cultural mix then

It's not as in your face as some areas of USA

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

But you’re in a democracy. That in itself is something to be grateful for. Might not be the ideal choice but at least it was the choice of the majority.

 

[Barnacle Boy]

Seems to be finding his footing and isn’t able to accept where he fits in. Think this came to me at about 25. Someone you love and a mortgage normally sorts the job out.

He's a perfect example of the difference between knowledge and wisdom. It's comical at times how clueless he is about the world

 

[JonMc]

No. The idea is silly.

Love is when the needs of someone else take precedent over your own needs. Your happiness is intricately tied up with their happiness. That doesn't apply to nation states.

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

Eh?

He lives in howton tbf

 

[RichD]

Yes, I'm lucky me and my family live here...

Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country, no?

 

[Clean Bristow]

People rave about the lakes and the scenery is nice and I enjoy the walks and climbs but...the people in the service industry are not exactly outgoing and friendly.

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Everywhere is friendly.

 

[Swindon On Tour]

Nothing beats the scenery of natural England and we are blessed with the changing seasons that each have their own beauty.
The majority of people are easy going, decent and approachable.

If it was that bad why do so many people risk their lives daily to try and come here?

Can’t think of any other place to be.

Canada is superb. Spent 3 weeks there last year and would love to go back

Beautiful country, but it has a lot of problems-the way it treats its indigenous people is shameful. Canada gets over-hyped on here as some kind of utopia-I wouldn't swap it for the UK imo.
