Police in the UK are crap in 2018: buy a new car, dude, crash with a motorcycle and run away leaving the bike on the street helmet, the police show up after an hour call to dispatch on the radio to check numbers motorbike is stolen number plate is from a car then witnesses told they know where that kid approximately staying police do not care a provide black Mercedes number plate because some random women show up in black A class Mercedes and start asked people about kid wait second you show up 30min later you really care about this kid health status its some connection here police again do not care then another witness explains that kid acts silly already like a mile away from this accident police do not care then they have council camera overhead police do not care they just cry because is a hot summer day and they need to stay outside. Then go to the police station reception woman is hilarious she says ok this is no problem insurance pay off dude this is not about the car you have all that information and never move a finger this is not like a random kid takes her own family motorbike and done mistake it's stolen on top wrong number plates on a top act like crazy you just wait somebody kill next time in my country with all that information they find this kid in next hour we do not talk his smash his helm hard on street on some point his go same day in hospital definitely sad part this is how insurance goes up for everyone in this country because police do not move finger till somebody get injury or die.
8:46 I'm glad someone has pointed out that immigration been used as a scapegoat for all the woes of the disenfranchised people in the UK. People need to stop blaming immigration and look hard at inequality caused by the rich but also themselves in not restricting their own possibilities. Immigration is much less of a factor to inequality than what the super rich have been doing to the working class for generations and especially to the northern communities.
Chris I know too! Born and bred Blackhall Colliery, the working class have had their source of pride and self worth removed (industry) and have lost self respect, it’s very sad, I grew up in 60’s when northerners were a much prouder people
I'm English and my wife is American and pre-Covid we had decided that we were going to settle in the UK. However, since then we have had a daughter and have decided that the US (despite its faults) is now by far the better option because the UK is absolutely destroying itself.
England is a beautiful country with so much history. The politicians have ruined it. Luckily here in America we got trump elected and with all the great people with him. Like Elon Tulsi Vick RFKjr and others we can get the USA back on track. Hopefully someone in England gets that country back to what it once was
I'm a retired UK Police Officer. I had things stolen from my garden. We had video evidence of them stealing from many houses in our street. We gave the names and address of the people responsible and the video evidence to the Police. They sent an email saying the crime had been filed as undetected. I complained to the Chief Constable of Northants Police but he never responded.
The prisons are full ,haven't heard of any big plans to build some new prisons,there's massive backlogs in the court system and until these are dealt with petty crime will go unpunished.
I caught a burglar in my neighbours shed (watching house whilst they were on holiday, heard a loud bang and wet to go look, locked him in (with the external slide bolt, as the burglar broke the main lock) and called the police, female cop turned up, moaned she had to drive half hour to come see me and busy/short staff, the burglar didnt speak English (likely come from a curtain side wagon trailer from motorway layby) cop argued nothings been stollen (well no cos i stopped the crime and caught the burglar, why would he force the door open breaking the lock) i got a lecture/came very close to arrested for locking guy in shed/cop took guy away under "arrest" but no caution/no language line translater help/ she let the guy go dropped him at the petrol station 5 miles up motorway, i only know this cos i was that pissed off by the situation i followed at a distance) police are a absolute joke now, best ones have all left and its all the whimpy idiots who tried working at tesco but couldnt hack it and left to join police for some power in there life but only seem to go after naughty words on the Internet cos actual policing is too hard
@@Andre_XX In the most recent election, voters in the north voted for Labor because they “felt betrayed” by the Conservative Party …. a special kind of stupid.
I was reading about the UK’s problems in The National Review over twenty years ago. The UK’s mess did not all of a sudden just pop up. It’s been ONGOING
The British Empire plundered its colonies, creating economic disparities that still scar the world. Post-imperial Britain's struggles to navigate globalization-hampered by flawed notions of equity, diversity, and confused leadership-reflect a reckoning with its history of imperial domination. Time, it seems, has begun delivering a long-overdue lesson.
This is not a UK problem. This is a Western problem. The UK is just much further along the same railway line that many EU countries, Canada, NZ and Australia are a bit further behind.
@@ScouserLegend Australia may have taken the lead in some regard. Our current PM had allowed unlimited migration from India and full recognition of Indian Diplomas as "equal" to a Western one...... Australia could soon overtake both UK and Canada for race to the bottom.
I left in 2015 for Poland. Life is great. The streets are safe and tidy. Infrastructure is getting built. I even managed to buy a plot of land and build a house, something that would have been impossible back in the UK.
I work for a wealthy family, the head of the family has moved his wife and children to Monaco….he has offered for myself and several other staff members to go with him (fully funded). I jumped at the chance to take my wife and new baby out of the the UK/London. Over the last year, I have travelled back into the London several times….let me tell you, it’s 100% not getting better. Unfortunately there are a lot of ‘lobsters in the pot’ when it comes to crime rate, standard of living etc
It's not just in the criminality either. Public & Tech-sectors are over bloated with those who have no idea what they are doing or are malicious actors dictating things just because they can.
Cops ignore petty crime! Understandably, people will turn to vigilantism. They shouldn't be expected to live in a heightened state of anxiety and fear.
Sad & tragic. There are so many great Brits who can’t afford to leave. It’s painful to watch what’s happening. The censoring, the government corruption, the horrible treatment of good, decent citizens. It’s heartbreaking.
I’m literally selling everything I have to buy mobile home and get out. I can raise about £10k if I sell my car as well. It’s not a lot but I’ll take my chances.
It's called TYRANNY. But because you speak these words that mask the reality you can't actually address the reality. Brits and Europeans in general have been led to believe they have something similar to the American System, when in reality they have replaced one form of tyranny with another. Hopefully Farage can gain power.
@j76384 Better to buy a van, more stealthy, add things to it you need when on the move, Iveco daily, very roomy, reliable, cheaper than most to repair 4/5k, plenty about.
I was not alive, but it sounds like people who fled Germany before 1940s before remainders were rounded up. It is mentally unwell released from forced institutionalization and capital punishment which led to this though. Scientific studies and quantitative data shows leftism is primarily linked to neurosis and indicators of brain damage. They embrace it and see it as a core asset to be applauded and cultivated. Luckly Brits can just grab a shovel and dig down to an ancient abandoned underground and hide out there like Christians did in Turkey until demands to diversify it. Ever look at those underground tunnels? Like Jews were doing in NYC where neighbors heard Yiddish through the walls of her basement. People would find places to escape raids and some to live. People saw this coming for years and were prepping during Obamas second term. Doomsday Bunkers and Zombie apocalypse preppers. Zombies just meant uncertainty and prepping for everything.
I remember Peter Hitchens gave this analysis on the demise of the UK and that people should wake up to the realities of the world nowadays, on Question Time 15 years ago, and he was booed
My family and I jumped ship to Taiwan 2 years ago, it is so much more socially cohesive, strict laws, lower taxes, zero tolerance with illegal immigration, zero tolerance on crime (as a migrant i would be kicked out for even petty crimes, they also have death penalty on drug dealing, terrorism, murder and sex offenders), low cost of living, adhering to their own cultural values, and feels super safe. I left my bike in centre of Taipei, came back a day later and it was still there, I could walk home from the centre of a Taipei and not have any worry about my safety.
My wife is Taiwanese and we visit it extensively every couple of years. Everything you said is true and I could embellish further. If I spoke Mandarin and had a few expat friends that spoke English where we could find things to do in retirement ( or business) I would retire there and never look back. It along with Japan are probably the two most impeccable countries in the world to live. It's even better than Japan because it is friendly for foreigners. It's among the two or three safest countries in the world, generous, and open minded. It's also among the cleanest and most wholesome.
Chris, I run a large business on Teesside, I must be the 2nd largest employer in the town. What Konstantin says about jobs and meaning is absolutely true and I take time to talk to all the 168 people directly employed by the business about the meaning of their work. They "mostly" get it. Thanks for zooming into that specific scenario. I can relate.
I’m just back from Paris. Was quite shocked at how much it’s changed. I feel London is heading the same way. Took my children, 4 girls, was on edge all the time. I was born in London but I don’t feel at home there.
Now you will understand why Welsh people don't feel like they belong in Wales when all their language speaking communities are completely being destroyed
The clan in America was right...about everything. And they were ran out and called uneducated fools yet here we are living in a world they said we would if it continued
I am a Lithuanian, and after we joined EU at 2004 we lost 0,5million ppl to emigration mostly and now last few years young ppl are re-emigrating in huge numbers, primary reason is that its not safe anymore in UK and the salary difference isn't that huge anymore. Basically living conditions in Lithuania improved greatly, while in UK dropped, especially safety! Anyone who can leave are.
Easy fella, think what you say. Don't you remember that you are under unbelievable threat from russia and need to be protected at all costs? Oh, by the way, talking about costs... isn't it one of the reasons why ppl are running away from Europe?
@@andywre1760 you're completely missing the point. They came, & now they're going back, based on what a $hit show this country has become (the politics). From what I see, they were conned into coming here for "a better life". There is no better life here. And what on earth are you talking about "threat from Russia"!? 😅 That's just sad if you believe propaganda so much.
What a romanticised rose tinted glasses of culture was so insulting?. What culture was ingrained in to your heads you thought that. Watch any old Jeremy Kyle vid and see how fast that will disappear

@jcronin3155 Yes, my Brother, his wife is Jamaican and she has told her family just how bad the UK is getting. It has become a conversation between them about seriously moving abroad.
That is so depressing. We moved to Canada 19 years ago from London, but I regret to say that I see the same signs of why we left the UK now beginning to grow here.
For sure and similar things happening in Australia also. NZ was heading the same way but I think they have somewhat found a better balance in comparison. Trojan horse attack on democracies.
This was fascinating to watch as an American. It's easy to feel like the US is falling apart just as quickly as the rest of western civilization, but the reality is we still have it better here than just about anywhere else and that's something worth defending.
You know that each of those 50 states are different. Some may be better than others. UK is a small Island. Many live in the cities but the countryside and suburbs are mostly fine.
@@TheDubOrange You're not wrong. Those places are pretty woke and degenerate. That said, America is a huge country compared to England and much of its population lives in rural and suburban areas. If you live in one of those areas and stopped watching the news, you'd think America is still a pretty reasonable place because your daily interactions would be in line with traditional western culture.
I received a text yesterday from a friend who is visiting London. He went to Piccadilly Circus and said there were about 20,000 - 30,000 people - mostly Arab with a few white tourists - all the conversations around him were conducted in Arabic - and nothing but Arabic music playing. He went to England to see English culture - but (other than the architecture) he felt like he was in the wrong country. Best of luck, England. Pay attention, U.S.
That's how I feel and I'm English!! I live in Portsmouth UK. They've taken over 3 quarters of my city, and when I catch buses, all you hear is foreign language. I feel like I'm the bloody foreigner/outsider. It's really horrible. I'm 65 in 11 days and just want to get off the damn planet. I'm penniless, so there's no chance of emigrating somewhere nice and safe. I keep wishing I could have a heart attack. I feel hopeless and helpless. I envy my 3 pals who passed away in the last 2 years.
What is so sad is that the UK was once told to be the example for the early leaders of Singapore who saw Brit’s paying for newspapers even though no one was watching and they wanted the same for their society. A high trust society destroyed by multiculturalism without any requirement to adopt British values.
Most of the immigrants to Britain will never adopt British values. There are so many that they recreate their own country here and form a parallel society. They often despise everything British.
Its just sad. For Malaysians, Britain used to be the place for higher education, where people go to study law, engineering, economics and so on. And also British culture was thought to be regal, gentlemanly and civilized. Now the country has fallen off so bad.
Having been born in a Town 50 miles away from London in 1976, the changes to 'England' causes a level of disorientation which makes you feel like a foreigner.
That sounds awful but do you think there’s a link between what you’re experiencing and the destruction your govt has taken part in in the Middle East over the past decades? Like the current g’cide for example, do you see the link?
Until the "English" start delivering serious hurt to their "betters" in govt and finance the situation will worsen at increasing velocity. A lot of rank & file "English" (& "Welsh" & "Scots") will have to sacrifice their lives to save their neighborhoods, counties and country. God bless y'all.
Born here, paid my way, taxed to death near on, unable to of saved enough to leave. I’ve been a self employed telecoms/datacoms engineer 29 years and even the mooting last Nov/Dec of labour getting in in the next GE see my workload drop off a cliff over night. Immigration has seen my trade decimated with all an sundry taking the jobs and seeing rates drop. Whom then these immigrants lookafter themselves, employing their mates with no skills they get into the country. Then add in social decline. I can’t afford to get out, I feel trapped here. This country is being failed by corrupt, self serving political criminals.
I’m originally from Hungary, was living in London for 16 years. Got the British passport, bought a house in London. Thought I would never leave because I just loved London so much. However, in the past few years things got worse. I moved to the US in November 2024. The US have some issues but in my sector salaries are higher than in the UK and taxes are lower. Also, the social fabric of the state I live is still good, unlike in the UK. I’m sorry but some of the cultures don’t mix well with Europeans and in London there is an increasing number of these cultures that have a negative impact on London’s culture (e.g see all the Irish pubs closing in Kilburn and being replaced by shisha shops, etc).
Sincere question; why did you not return to Hungary? Hardly any of those immigrants whose culture does not mix well. Economy is doing pretty well. I am actually considering moving to Hungary or Poland.
We visited South and North Carolina and Virginia last summer, what wonderful places. We would move to Virginia tomorrow if we could from the U.K., ( the country of our birth, for millennia ) but we are old and probably wouldn’t qualify. The polar opposite from what we now have here, what have we done?
I was born & bred in a great cosmopolitan city of London. 50 years later (10 years ago) I moved outside London because it had become a sh1thole. Now I'm in the process of moving out of this country because it's becoming a sh1thole. I have a few friends that've retired with comfortable nest eggs & (Private) pensions who don't have strong family ties in the UK and they're all considering moving out of the UK. The UK is no longer a good place to live.
@@radiofreealbemuth8540 Most of them are looking at Portugal atm. It's on my list but Malaysia is top atm (I don't have kids in the UK). Have to decide in the next few months.
@@andrewmack2161 Portugal wants expats to move there and are offering many incentives. In cyprus we have many german companies moving here for greater tax benfits and they are bringing their staff with them. that is why Cyprus is booming.
That is a similar story to mine. I left London for Cheshire at 17 (in 1959), spent 9 years in the RAF, saw 22 odd countries, and realized that England wasn't the best place to live and raise a family. I came to Australia in 1971 as a ten-pound pom and could afford to buy my own car immediately on arrival, also a rifle,and, later a house, all things out of my possibilities in the UK. Now retired in rural NSW having relocated to progressively smaller communities I can survive on the state pension and am independent from the national grid. The best move( by far) that I made in my life.
@@cliveyb5326 You made that move at a good time. I'm not sure Australia is such a good option now for a young person (that has to work) but I'm sure it's a better option than the broken UK.
I left the UK 34 years ago to live in the US. Every time I asked people back home how things were, they would always shake their heads. It seems the UK is run my a blend between Henry the 8th and Karl Marx.

what are you on about. its no where near, I wish this country was being run by a marxist. The uk have let the rich get away with so much, most pay tiny amounts of tax and the burden is put on the middle class and lower class. A marxist would fix this by targeting large companies and non domestic tax payers and funneling the money into social programs. kier starmers doing an alright job of this by targeting millionaire land owners and millionaire pensioners.
The UK is becoming a wonderful breeding ground for succesful entrepreneurs who start a business in the UK, succeed then pack up their bags as soon as they can and leave. Its a real shame. The UK doesn't have a talent generation problem, it has a talent retention problem.
My niece moved to UK to study abroad through her American university. She lasted one semester and said it was not safe, now back in upstate New York. Who would have thought!
@@mostlypeacefuljc4687 It’s a shame she didn’t go to St Andrews University in Fife, Scotland, or somewhere else tucked away, she would have loved that place. Large cities in England have fallen.
I'm watching from Poland. I've never had to work in the West. I'm watching with concern what's happening here. You've completely lost your way. You can't do anything about it, because you're weak. I hope that at least the Slavs will survive.
poland, hungary Slovakia will become the new europe soon if they stick to the strict immigration policies. give it a few years and everyone will want to live there.
Have worked with many Poles here in Scotland. Lovely people. Really hope eastern European countries stand proud & resist the EU, WEF, & woke socialist mandates & governance that have led to western European countries sliding so far, so quickly.
I'm worse off than my parents. Taxation. Overpriced housing. I didn't want my kids to be worse off. So I emigrated from the UK. I now have a better life.
Why don't you openly say that immigration from 3rd world countries has made UK a 3rd world country now ? You need to learn from Poland. How Poland has saved itself from 3rd world country immigration.
I was a naval officer and served until 2004 when I moved to the US. I have a fantastic life now and on my infrequent visits back to the UK I am more shocked and disgusted each time I get into London. It is almost indescribable from what I remember of the London I grew up in. I probably won’t return and now have US citizenship. How sad to not want to go home again.
I grew up in San Francisco in the 90's. Joined the military and was stationed in San Diego for 7 years. I visited home, every time I went back it was worse and worse and worse. Once I got out of the Marines, I immediately made San Diego my home. I have such strong nostalgia for a home that doesn't exist anymore, San Francisco is a 3rd world city. Even though it's the same state and country, I relate to your experience.
Born in the North, I have lived overseas for 30 years in Australia and done very well; arriving with just $10,000 and now have a very good life. I was disgusted how dirty and crowded Oxford Street was in about 2015/16 and how many speed camera signs there were - a foresight into the surveillance society of today. I have no intention of travelling to the UK ever again; Germanic Europe, Yes, and will probably only return to the UK for funerals. The sad reality.
My car got driven into by a drunk driver at Whitfield Service Station a few months back, the drunk driver tried to convince me to follow her back to the car park opposite her house so her “mechanic” boyfriend could inspect the damage and arrange for repairs. I told her absolutely not, I’m not following a drunk driver to a random location to meet some random dude. I phoned the police and walked back into the service station (she fled without giving me her details even though I’d asked 3 times) to inquire about the CCTV footage, they rejected me due to data protection laws and the police told me they can’t do anything about it even though they’re treating it as a drunk driver + hit & run but they’ll pass it on to traffic police. It’s been 4 months and I’ve heard nothing. On top of that, my insurance company wanted to write my car off for a dent, scratches and scrapes and told me that if I wanted to do so I would pay due to the value of the car being so old (2005). So, not only are the police useless, but I can’t even take the CCTV footage or claim without having to spend money on a car I didn’t damage. This country is a joke and when I get the chance to leave it, I’m outta here
Someone drove into a person's brand new immaculate BMW while they were having a meal at a pub the other day. Came back to a completely ruined side of the car. No note, no apology, nothing - other driver driven off and left the owner with a massive bill.. Shows the state of the society we are in...Dishonest and looking out for themselves only.
My father came to Australia from the UK in his 20s for a better life and stayed here until he passed away. He'd often tell me back in early 2000s that he'd never go back home to live due to what was going on way back then. He could see it going to the dogs......he was absolutely on the money and before he passed he said sadly Australia is following suit. He was right again. The west is doomed under the current circumstances and governed by greedy politicians who obviously care little for the future generations of natural born Citizens.
im a German, and my Grandfather always spoke of British with hightest respect. Such a tragedy we let them pit us against each other when the real enemy was in the shadows
Hi There I was born in the North of England and my father and grandfather said that the Germans and the Brits should have joined forces and been an economic world beating power. It has taken me 40 years to get over the BBC war propaganda films that were shown every Saturday afternoon until the 1970's to realise that my father and grandfather were probably correct. I now travel every year to Germany, Austria and Switzerland from my home in Australia.
Shalom. That infamous Austrian also spoke of the English with great respect. Churchill however wasn't having it. It was then when the whole Europe was lost.
I'm from the first city in England where white English people became a minority. Where the headlines got it wrong was it happened in the mid 90s and it's Not our strength. It's over.
I was affiliated with the University in Middlesbrough for over 12 years, and the absolute decline there, particularly within the last two years has been incredibly sad. It really hit me like a bus when I came back from Tokyo back in September last year, just how unbelievably sad and run down the place felt
Boro is a lot better than it was in the 1980's. Going to live in Tokyo is going to make most of the UK look dirty and run down....COVID took its toll too. Peek Woke hasn't helped, 20% inflation hasn't helped.
We become acclimatized to it. Out walking the other day I saw a fella fly tipping some rubbish out of his van. I was initially outraged, thought of videoing it, reporting it, then thought, so what, it will be concreted over by TTK within the decade for yet more ticky tacky barratt boxes anyway. Its not a country worth preserving or caring for any more.
I wish there was more sensible conversations being had like this in places that matter. Even as someone who has no political experience I'm very aware of the decline of towns and cities across the UK just by driving through them. Most of these people have nothing but existing. No prospects, no hope, no new industries, no development, no evolution. Just more of the same shit over and over and over again. It's no wonder people feel so disenfranchised that they're now looking to people like Farage to lead the way in a Trump like political revolution. We need reform, I'm just not sure that reform comes in a Farage like shape. It's sad to watch people see their country declining but to have no real understanding of how we can turn it around.
There was a theft attempted on my Motorcycle which I thankfully managed to prevent. Everything is on my security camera. I didn't bother reporting it. Have no faith in a resolution especially as their faces were covered.
I try not to involve the police in anything. They are more interested on trying to trick people into committing fake speech crimes than they are fixing actual crime.
Wow! At least it don't see to be that bad here in the u.s. But I live outside a small town, in the country, so we still have law and order in these parts of tx
These people have one commandment they follow “Thou shalt not get called racist.” This complicates the analysis of what’s happening beyond belief. It’s like trying to figure out how a house is burning down without admitting that fire exists.
Good analogy. They refuse to admit what the problem is, and instead just focus on the after effects of the problem without ever addressing the root issue. For fear of being called racist bigoted phobic or whatever other buzz word designed to shut you up, and shut down discussion.
you're scared of being called racist rather than being scared of being one? you know what's worse that being called racist? dealing with racism. imagine pretending YOU'RE the victim. my god.
What’s worse than being called racist? Having to be surrounded by members of an objectively inferior culture because the government forces me to, without referendum.
No offense, but I'm from Ohio and I could have told you that. The UK isn't what it used to be inflation was worsened by Brexit since it's harder to do business and maintain a domestic supply of goods.
I am British, lived there for 25 years and left to a more conservative, forward thinking country that prioritises its own citizens and only allows people into said country who are actually able to work and contribute to the society and that actually provides a good salary to cost of living ratio. The UK is lost in my eyes which makes me incredibly sad as I would consider myself a patriot for what Britain used to be, I have 0 patriotism for what it has been made into.
American living in the UK. I cannot tell you how many people ask me regularly. Why am I still here? Simultaneously all of the executives in my company with European passport have moved back to their country this year. This is all new so I attributed to the new government.
its a snow ball effect, most of it is immigration honestly..... when you are paying for 1.5million legal and ilegal migrants to live on benefits thats going to kill
I'm an American who lived in Oxford in 2003-2004. I was actually born in England, but grew up in the US. I wanted to try to build a life in the UK. I found it economically very difficult, with a quality of life that was far lower than what I was used to in the US. I eventually gave up, and came back to the US. The interesting thing is that when I lived there, no one who was from there could understand why I would ever choose to live there instead of America.
I’m Irish but have family all over England/UK. When I was young (in the 80’s) we used to go on holidays in England. Back then it was sparkling clean and thriving or at least that’s how it appeared to me. When I visit family now it is more like a burden. The root cause of all Englands problems has always been Westminster. It’s not too late but you are running out of time. Good luck 🍀
Same thing happening in Colorado. Denver is now a place you'd not want to live. People in the suburbs don't go there. Even if you don't feel unsafe there, it's just so depressing to see. 😢
I just wrote a comment. Im a born and raised new yorker, Harlem. I had to flee NYC for the same reasons people are fleeing the UK. I live in the midwest now and see the same thing happening here. I try to warn people but they look at ne like im crazy and "racist". I didn't vote for this insanity.
The ambition draining out of you, sums it up perfectly. I’ve been running my own business for 25yrs and you hit the nail on the head with this statement.
The same thing happened to my daughter. She had her phone stolen from right in front of her on a picnic bench. an off-duty officer actually chased the guy into a building and her phone locator showed the phone was in the building. An off-duty officer chased and had seen the culprit run in the building and the on duty police said there's nothing we can do. This was in London.
@@9xqspx6 most ordinary working people have a lot to lose. If they defend themselves and get persecuted for it they might lose their livelihood. Of course those that are already on the margins don’t have that problem and if the penalties for venting online are just as bad as taking action in the physical action a little might just take action.
Im a born and raised New Yorker. I had to flee my beloved home to move to the midwest of America for the exact reasons people are fleeing the UK. When he talks about crime on the tube, its the same on the NYC subway. NYC has lost its way, sold out by politicians and ideology thats is the anthesis of what freedom and America is about. I became a stranger in my own land. I looked around and i was the only one who spoke english and if i said anything about it i was shamed and shunned. I didnt vote for this insanity, local and national. It makes me very angry what the "elite" are doing to this world.
Amen, but sadly : it will not get it, because it does not deserve it, plus, the Big Change Will still Must Happen before the Second Arrival. And, without awakening the nation Firstly (before that Change before the Second Arrival) , it still can Not be done. So, don't be too much worryed. Pwy.

I have a few English friends who live here in America, and from what they've told me their primary concern, outside of economic opportunities, with their home country is the feeling of disassociation with the UK. They talk about feeling like a foreigner in their own country. As someone who lives near the southern border in the US, I have similar feelings, as everywhere I go there seem to be hispanic people speaking spanish and eating latin food, more and more every day. We've discussed this at length and we seem to share a bit more of the same problems. I think immigration and massive demographic replacement is a huge contributor to people feeling disgruntled with their nations in the west. It's like when your mom remarries and has kids with step dad; all of a sudden you're outnumbered and replaced with new kids in your own home.
The USA isn’t an ethnically white country at its roots though. Most of it in the south and west used to belong to Mexico. You’ve got cities with names like San Antonio, Santa Fe, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco! Why on are you complaining about hispanic populations in parts of the USA? Who have likely been there longer than lots of communities of northern european decendents!
@paulsheridan7408 because these are not people who have lived here since the time Mexico owned it. They're people who have come here afterwards. The nation of the united states is, and has always been a majority white country. I'm not complaining about Hispanic populations. I'm saying the massive influx of people from countries south of the border, who speak a different language, come from a different background, have a different culture, is making many people feel out of place in the nation they were actually born in. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.
Yup, you miss manners, shared customs, a shared language, centuries of modalities of being that went into building a culture. That gets replaced by scowling strangers who share none of that.
'Racism against white people' as brown and black people get called everything under the sun in this comment section. You are not a victim, the 'racism' you face is nothing comparitively.
Interesting stats regarding crime in London, the good news is that the mayor has been awarded a knighthood for all of his good work in promoting this...............
Your monarchy is just as woke and leftist as anywhere in the world. First thing Britain has to do is throw them out abolish the monarchy, how much did you spend on his coronation 100,000,000 pounds? And people are standing in food lines. You Brits need to go look in the mirror to see the problem.
On either Chris's show, or Trigonometry, or both, I'd love hear a roundtable discussion involving active police persons from both the U.K. and the U.S. Chris, Konstantin and Francis are all exceptionally good at giving guests the ability to steer the conversation.

@@SusanaXpeace2u My family and I jumped ship to Taiwan 2 years ago, it is so much more socially cohesive, strict laws, lower taxes, zero tolerance with illegal immigration, zero tolerance on crime (as a migrant i would be kicked out for even petty crimes, they also have death penalty on drug dealing, terrorism, murder and sex offenders), low cost of living, adhering to their own cultural values, and feels super safe. I left my bike in centre of Taipei, came back a day later and it was still there, I could walk home from the centre of a Taipei and not have any worry about my safety.
We, me and my husband, retired in 2023, when we looked at what the future would hold for us, we decided that as the NHS was no longer functioning and energy costs were just going up and up to the point of not being affordable for pensioners, we sadly decided we had to leave. So, we are now living in Crete and loving it. I’m so sad that the UK has disintegrated so quickly in my lifetime. If Starmer puts the uk back into Europe he’ll have a huge shock because everyone who can will leave the uk.
That's my plan for retirement, just sell up and move to Greece. One of the islands, not a touristy one. I'm happy to learn the language and take lessons too.
Too late to fix now. In the 70s my house was burgled by the children of a neighbor, and there were witnesses. The police even back than said there was nothing they would do.
It's weird to me that he mentions he doesn't blame the cops for all doing a terrible job. Buddy, if they can ignore a brutal assault or major theft because they don't have the time to bother, they can ignore a warrant out on someone over a tweet because they don't have the time. They choose to actively be a part of a broken system and to further it's continuation.
I left in 2002 halfway throigh basic training as it was clear to me they didnt care about catching criminals and was on a path of brainwashing recruits
He means he doesn’t blame the average cop who has no say in how it works now that doesn’t excuse the horrible policing from cops that let’s be honest are woke as hell.
The issue is that when the cops arrest the criminals it’s the courts that simply let them off with a warning and then release them back onto the streets to do the same thing again. This happens in Australia, the cops arrest criminals, particularly teenagers who have committed serious violent crimes only to see the courts give them bail and then give them a slap on the wrist. Recently in Queensland a teenage girl was arrested after a police chase in a stolen car, turned out that she was out on bail for the fifteenth time for the same offence. In some cases the cops have to deal with an identity ideology with a certain demographic here in Australia that have a very privileged position in society compared to the rest of Australians.
It's happening in the US too, Over half the cases we send to the DA get dropped. And these aren't half assed slapped together cases. We had cases with signed confessions and video that got thrown out and refused to be prosecuted.
It's political correctness as we used to say. I taught MBA to a varied bunch including quite senior police officers who had impossible targets - like recruiting 2% of non-white trainees. In Cumbria, 98% were white they'd have to force all of the non-whites into the force!
Yes, well, what the WEF really meant by that statement was that you’ll own nothing and THEY’LL be happy. If you listen, you’ll hear Klaus’s nearly inaudible whisper: “Oh THAT promise I made to the hoi polloi? Silly of me-I just misspoke!”

The other day i was the only english speaking person on the tube. I've been in london for 50 years. It's sad that we're not listened to or say anything that wont be construed as racists. The facts are before us.
Living in a small town in Scotland, people are moving here from all over. I’ve seen loads of change but I wouldn’t live anywhere else. Let’s be clear, I feel British. I visit London every now and again. It’s a foreign country to me now.
I also live in a small town in Fife - I have Afghans walking down my street and I’ve seen Somalis over in the East Neuk, the once most peely-wally, pale place in the known Universe. We’re going the way of England, slowly, but surely.
Some people just want to watch the world burn and film it for social media People don't want to be thrown crumbs anymore and be told to be happy, everyone can see the system doesn't work and so they are not playing the game anymore, it's that simple
A thug started touching me and stole my phone and wallet (I'm a woman). This was around the corner of the police. The female officer I saw and hailed to report this crime and to tell her to catch the thug running away told me off for using an expletive to describe the lowlife. Years later in another UK city, I was subjected to an unlawful stop and search by the police. A man I saw threatening a woman he knew on public transport wasn't removed by the transport security. He later physically asssulted her... UK is messed up.
lmao if this is true then thats how a country collapses, if the police wont do justice because you misgendered the criminal/terrorist or called them wrong then they wont do anything for the real people in society.
I was nearly killed on my 3d year living in the UK (our house was broke into) and after that people say that it is a safe place to live... I'm back to my home country and I'm happy about my decision.
I can't even comprehend the mindset behind the way the UK is being run. Imagine someone jumping you for your watch and you have no right to defend yourself. Its crazy.
Where I live in the South of England (a "commuter town"), I think it's fine if you're on an above average salary. We have lots of nice villages, countryside and places to visit. There's more of a work life balance than the US. You don't need to worry about health insurance denying your claims, or losing your coverage if your job is made redundant. Mass shootings are rare. People aren't dying in the streets from poverty and lack of healthcare. I can't imagine anywhere else would be much better.
Chris you're wrong. It is about immigration. Influx of low skilled workers, willing to work for peanuts, with no understanding or expectation of decent worker's rights, has been disastrous for the working class in Britain. Combine this with the loss of British culture in many towns and cities owing to vastly different and intolerant cultures moving in, and you've got a very unhappy and angry working class.
It’s all by design, and the culprits are rich investors and companies. I am a foreigner myself, but my entire family tree before 1800 came from Switzerland, so after four generations of absence, I decided to return to the place of my ancestors. However, I have seen how many foreigners behave here. They work for far less and most don’t even bother to integrate the slightest bit into society. Most of the current foreigners have staying permits because companies, driven by globalism, decided it’s cheaper to import labor. At the same time, they ensure that natives only earn just enough to spend each month, minimizing wages. This creates an economy where money flows from the bottom to the top. All the politicians belong to the same class as the rich and have no interest in changing this system. You can vote for whoever you want, but they will gladly continue destroying Western nations. The only possibility for change would be an economic collapse and massive inflation, so that our European currencies end up as worthless as those in the rest of the world. This would make our labor as cheap as theirs, forcing a systemic reset.
Why are these workers getting work visas? Unemployment is 4.3%, clearly they are not making brits unemployed. Also if you shut down work visas, companies will just open subsidiaries abroad, or hire locally at a greater cost which increases your prices. A lot of these work for NHS, and you want to stop this? Stop listening to bad sources.
@@foroparapentethe NHS example is nonsense. 18% of the NHS workforce is foreign born and surprisingly so are 20% of the U.K. population. So this directly correlates. They are there to serve the increased foreign born population. And the NHS is on its knees because of it .
It start here in the Netherlands too. Very big problem on the housing market here. Way to less houses. But we can’t build co2 bs. And it’s takes 10 years before all permits are done before the first stone is laid. Renting is high. Buying a modist house cost €500.000. A couple with basic income can’t buy that. People in the 40’s still live by their parents. And it gets only worse. The politics is divided and fighting each other instead of making important decisions that benefit the working class people….. I wish every body a peaceful 2025🙏🏻
Watching two intelligent men speaking the truth is refreshing, what isn't refreshing is the fact that today ,Sadiq Khan, one of the main orchestras of the plummeting overall life experience in London/England has been knighted.
I'm English and moved to Australia with my Ozzy wife and and two young children in 2004. Left SE London for a breath of fresh air and never looked back. I saw the writing on the wall years ago and had a hard time convincing my wife to leave, so glad we did. Last year my youngest daughter moved to Manchester and loves the UK despite the poor wages and bad weather, probably because she isn't interested in politics and isn't bothered by other peoples problems. I'm never going back, not even for a holiday.
Same here. Came Aus in 09, and I’ve yet to go back, even for a holiday. At this point I really can’t decide if I’ll ever return, or take my kids to see where I came from.
Maybe if they stopped tasking police officers to police people who post mean tweets and instead have them investigate real crimes, maybe things would get better in the UK.
Funny thing is...the reasons folks are fleeing Blighty are the reason Americans are fleeing America. You may not see it yet, you will in time. left ten years ago to Eastern Europe.
Energy is the foundation of EVERYTHING that is produced, every subcomponent, every process, transportation, handling etc, all require energy. Increasing the cost of energy mutliplies so many times in the production chain up to the consumer, so even small changes to energy prices have a big impact on final product prices. NetZero is a real threat to humanity, unlike the climate lies posing as science.
The UK was a great place especially post / during WW2 when many immigrant families could come for a better life. So I love this country for that refuge for my grandparents. That said if we could now we’d be out of here. There’s no social cohesion , crime is ridiculous. Women (especially the young ones now) aren’t safe especially in London (drink spiking etc) and no government is prioritising the people. It’s so fucked right now
No,politicians are to blame,they are the ones allowing immigration, people want a better life, so they will try to immigrate to other countries. Immigrants have to obey the laws and assimilate to their new home and be good citizens.
@@gtechnosinc2518 No. It's both. Politicians are traitors and should be... dealt with accordingly. And, the immigrants can want whatever they like, but we are under no obligation to give it to them.
How is that? Local residents destroyed their country thru greed and complacency. Same thing is happening in America to a large extent. Nobody took your jobs, people simply think they're too good to work them.

I felt that way working outside DC in the US. Said fuck it, left for Alaska. Living great and working hard. Cities just feel soul sucking; being out in the wild and cold and earning money doing physical work makes me feel alive
I can't recall when I last felt happy to be living in England. I'm just grateful to have experienced life in the UK during the 80/90s before the madness of unfettered immigration, PC culture on steroids took hold, and government overreach became things that fundamentally changed my life for the worse. I'm also grateful to have less time to live than I've lived because I see no way back to those happier days.
So sorry to hear, but understand exactly how you feel. What was once the great cosmopolitan cities of the world has become a foreign city to its own countrymen.
@@jackwillmore2319 London is now (pardon my unsavoury turn of phrase) a polished dog turd. Yes, it still has the tourist sights but underneath it's grimy, unfriendly, and most of all foreign to me. It has nothing to offer me, and thankfully I live quite far away from London but knowing how the capital city used to be to how it is now is sad.
I can - summer 1996. I can remember thinking this is a pretty good country to live in, feels positive and moving in the right direction. I haven't felt like that again ever since
Agree, one of my sons' left the UK 4y and has no plans ever to move back here; his brother is considering a move too, I won't be far behind if he does so sad the state this country is in now.
I'm an American. What has happened to the UK is happening to us as well. Our "body" is bigger, so it's just taking us longer to die. The frustration of the people not being able to accomplish what our parents could is reaching a boiling point. All outsourcing has done is to enrich a small minority at the expense of the great majority. I'm afraid it's going to be Asia and their values that leads the way forward. Thankfully, I'm much closer to the end of my life than to the beginning...
At least US voters have the balls to elect a leader who isn't afraid to challenge the whole operation. Idk what the UK people have been waiting for; of all the Western countries, their plight seems like the most irreversible.

Police in the UK are crap in 2018: buy a new car, dude, crash with a motorcycle and run away leaving the bike on the street helmet, the police show up after an hour call to dispatch on the radio to check numbers motorbike is stolen number plate is from a car then witnesses told they know where that kid approximately staying police do not care a provide black Mercedes number plate because some random women show up in black A class Mercedes and start asked people about kid wait second you show up 30min later you really care about this kid health status its some connection here police again do not care then another witness explains that kid acts silly already like a mile away from this accident police do not care then they have council camera overhead police do not care they just cry because is a hot summer day and they need to stay outside. Then go to the police station reception woman is hilarious she says ok this is no problem insurance pay off dude this is not about the car you have all that information and never move a finger this is not like a random kid takes her own family motorbike and done mistake it's stolen on top wrong number plates on a top act like crazy you just wait somebody kill next time in my country with all that information they find this kid in next hour we do not talk his smash his helm hard on street on some point his go same day in hospital definitely sad part this is how insurance goes up for everyone in this country because police do not move finger till somebody get injury or die.
8:46 I'm glad someone has pointed out that immigration been used as a scapegoat for all the woes of the disenfranchised people in the UK. People need to stop blaming immigration and look hard at inequality caused by the rich but also themselves in not restricting their own possibilities. Immigration is much less of a factor to inequality than what the super rich have been doing to the working class for generations and especially to the northern communities.
Scapegoat my arse. How do you likw the results of you very successful diversification?
Chris I know too! Born and bred Blackhall Colliery, the working class have had their source of pride and self worth removed (industry) and have lost self respect, it’s very sad, I grew up in 60’s when northerners were a much prouder people
I'm English and my wife is American and pre-Covid we had decided that we were going to settle in the UK. However, since then we have had a daughter and have decided that the US (despite its faults) is now by far the better option because the UK is absolutely destroying itself.
England is a beautiful country with so much history. The politicians have ruined it. Luckily here in America we got trump elected and with all the great people with him. Like Elon Tulsi Vick RFKjr and others we can get the USA back on track. Hopefully someone in England gets that country back to what it once was

We gave the names and address of the people responsible and the video evidence to the Police. They sent an email saying the crime had been filed as undetected. I complained to the Chief Constable of Northants Police but he never responded.

The British Empire plundered its colonies, creating economic disparities that still scar the world. Post-imperial Britain's struggles to navigate globalization-hampered by flawed notions of equity, diversity, and confused leadership-reflect a reckoning with its history of imperial domination. Time, it seems, has begun delivering a long-overdue lesson.

I was not alive, but it sounds like people who fled Germany before 1940s before remainders were rounded up. It is mentally unwell released from forced institutionalization and capital punishment which led to this though. Scientific studies and quantitative data shows leftism is primarily linked to neurosis and indicators of brain damage. They embrace it and see it as a core asset to be applauded and cultivated. Luckly Brits can just grab a shovel and dig down to an ancient abandoned underground and hide out there like Christians did in Turkey until demands to diversify it. Ever look at those underground tunnels? Like Jews were doing in NYC where neighbors heard Yiddish through the walls of her basement. People would find places to escape raids and some to live. People saw this coming for years and were prepping during Obamas second term. Doomsday Bunkers and Zombie apocalypse preppers. Zombies just meant uncertainty and prepping for everything.

The British Empire plundered its colonies, creating economic disparities that still scar the world. Post-imperial Britain's struggles to navigate globalization-hampered by flawed notions of equity, diversity, and confused leadership-reflect a reckoning with its history of imperial domination. Time, it seems, has begun delivering a long-overdue lesson.

You know that each of those 50 states are different. Some may be better than others. UK is a small Island. Many live in the cities but the countryside and suburbs are mostly fine.

@@TheDubOrange You're not wrong. Those places are pretty woke and degenerate. That said, America is a huge country compared to England and much of its population lives in rural and suburban areas. If you live in one of those areas and stopped watching the news, you'd think America is still a pretty reasonable place because your daily interactions would be in line with traditional western culture.
There are people who have an active interest in making Americans feel this way about their own nation.
I received a text yesterday from a friend who is visiting London. He went to Piccadilly Circus and said there were about 20,000 - 30,000 people - mostly Arab with a few white tourists - all the conversations around him were conducted in Arabic - and nothing but Arabic music playing. He went to England to see English culture - but (other than the architecture) he felt like he was in the wrong country.
Best of luck, England. Pay attention, U.S.
Exactly what all my NZ and Aussie friends have said when they visited the UK in the last couple of years.
Glad I went to UK in the 80s and 90s. Still tons of Arabs there back then but not as bad as now. Germany too.
Traditional architecture has been torn down step by step.
It helps erode the exterior signs of culture and beauty.
That's how I feel and I'm English!! I live in Portsmouth UK. They've taken over 3 quarters of my city, and when I catch buses, all you hear is foreign language.

I'm penniless, so there's no chance of emigrating somewhere nice and safe. I keep wishing I could have a heart attack. I feel hopeless and helpless. I envy my 3 pals who passed away in the last 2 years.

What is so sad is that the UK was once told to be the example for the early leaders of Singapore who saw Brit’s paying for newspapers even though no one was watching and they wanted the same for their society. A high trust society destroyed by multiculturalism without any requirement to adopt British values.
Most of the immigrants to Britain will never adopt British values. There are so many that they recreate their own country here and form a parallel society. They often despise everything British.
That's a pretty damned good summary.

Spot on. The abuse of trust is a massive, massive problem and it's like a broken glass - it can't be put back together - it needs to be rebuilt anew
Its just sad. For Malaysians, Britain used to be the place for higher education, where people go to study law, engineering, economics and so on. And also British culture was thought to be regal, gentlemanly and civilized. Now the country has fallen off so bad.
Having been born in a Town 50 miles away from London in 1976, the changes to 'England' causes a level of disorientation which makes you feel like a foreigner.

I’m originally from Hungary, was living in London for 16 years. Got the British passport, bought a house in London. Thought I would never leave because I just loved London so much. However, in the past few years things got worse. I moved to the US in November 2024. The US have some issues but in my sector salaries are higher than in the UK and taxes are lower. Also, the social fabric of the state I live is still good, unlike in the UK. I’m sorry but some of the cultures don’t mix well with Europeans and in London there is an increasing number of these cultures that have a negative impact on London’s culture (e.g see all the Irish pubs closing in Kilburn and being replaced by shisha shops, etc).
How does one just up and move to the US?
Sincere question; why did you not return to Hungary? Hardly any of those immigrants whose culture does not mix well. Economy is doing pretty well. I am actually considering moving to Hungary or Poland.
- England as it once was will in c. 5-6 decades only live in the memory of a rapidly decreasing number of Brits.

My car got driven into by a drunk driver at Whitfield Service Station a few months back, the drunk driver tried to convince me to follow her back to the car park opposite her house so her “mechanic” boyfriend could inspect the damage and arrange for repairs. I told her absolutely not, I’m not following a drunk driver to a random location to meet some random dude. I phoned the police and walked back into the service station (she fled without giving me her details even though I’d asked 3 times) to inquire about the CCTV footage, they rejected me due to data protection laws and the police told me they can’t do anything about it even though they’re treating it as a drunk driver + hit & run but they’ll pass it on to traffic police. It’s been 4 months and I’ve heard nothing. On top of that, my insurance company wanted to write my car off for a dent, scratches and scrapes and told me that if I wanted to do so I would pay due to the value of the car being so old (2005). So, not only are the police useless, but I can’t even take the CCTV footage or claim without having to spend money on a car I didn’t damage. This country is a joke and when I get the chance to leave it, I’m outta here

Even your comment makes me sad.
I wish there was more sensible conversations being had like this in places that matter. Even as someone who has no political experience I'm very aware of the decline of towns and cities across the UK just by driving through them. Most of these people have nothing but existing. No prospects, no hope, no new industries, no development, no evolution. Just more of the same shit over and over and over again. It's no wonder people feel so disenfranchised that they're now looking to people like Farage to lead the way in a Trump like political revolution. We need reform, I'm just not sure that reform comes in a Farage like shape. It's sad to watch people see their country declining but to have no real understanding of how we can turn it around.
Crimes committed in front of the police are routinely ignored. They don’t investigate crime, do people have stopped bothering to report them.
There was a theft attempted on my Motorcycle which I thankfully managed to prevent. Everything is on my security camera.
I didn't bother reporting it. Have no faith in a resolution especially as their faces were covered.
Unless your a native, then you get the full force of the law upon you. Even for non crimes.
I try not to involve the police in anything. They are more interested on trying to trick people into committing fake speech crimes than they are fixing actual crime.

For all countries with western values it is a hold my beer race to the bottom
They made a good move, for now.
I have a few English friends who live here in America, and from what they've told me their primary concern, outside of economic opportunities, with their home country is the feeling of disassociation with the UK. They talk about feeling like a foreigner in their own country.
As someone who lives near the southern border in the US, I have similar feelings, as everywhere I go there seem to be hispanic people speaking spanish and eating latin food, more and more every day. We've discussed this at length and we seem to share a bit more of the same problems. I think immigration and massive demographic replacement is a huge contributor to people feeling disgruntled with their nations in the west. It's like when your mom remarries and has kids with step dad; all of a sudden you're outnumbered and replaced with new kids in your own home.
Funny how so many Brits are willing to roll over and do absolutely nothing to fight for their country.
The USA isn’t an ethnically white country at its roots though. Most of it in the south and west used to belong to Mexico. You’ve got cities with names like San Antonio, Santa Fe, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco! Why on are you complaining about hispanic populations in parts of the USA? Who have likely been there longer than lots of communities of northern european decendents!
@paulsheridan7408 because these are not people who have lived here since the time Mexico owned it. They're people who have come here afterwards. The nation of the united states is, and has always been a majority white country. I'm not complaining about Hispanic populations. I'm saying the massive influx of people from countries south of the border, who speak a different language, come from a different background, have a different culture, is making many people feel out of place in the nation they were actually born in. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.
Good analogy
Yup, you miss manners, shared customs, a shared language, centuries of modalities of being that went into building a culture. That gets replaced by scowling strangers who share none of that.
No talk of the two tiered policing? No talk of the racism against white people, no talk of the need for mass deportations? They missed the bus.
Yup. Too “English” to spit the truth.
'Racism against white people' as brown and black people get called everything under the sun in this comment section. You are not a victim, the 'racism' you face is nothing comparitively.
Can't cover everything in 15 min.
I got a feeling it was a longer conversation
The full interview is almost 2 hours long. You'd be shocked they touched on those points😉
Interesting stats regarding crime in London, the good news is that the mayor has been awarded a knighthood for all of his good work in promoting this...............

Perfectly demonstrates the the insanity.
Yes historical low murder rate in 2024. I guarantee you brainwashed lot don’t know that.
Your monarchy is just as woke and leftist as anywhere in the world. First thing Britain has to do is throw them out abolish the monarchy, how much did you spend on his coronation 100,000,000 pounds? And people are standing in food lines. You Brits need to go look in the mirror to see the problem.
On either Chris's show, or Trigonometry, or both, I'd love hear a roundtable discussion involving active police persons from both the U.K. and the U.S. Chris, Konstantin and Francis are all exceptionally good at giving guests the ability to steer the conversation.

I left the UK 15 years ago. Best thing i ever did. It's gone down the toilet

@@SusanaXpeace2u My family and I jumped ship to Taiwan 2 years ago, it is so much more socially cohesive, strict laws, lower taxes, zero tolerance with illegal immigration, zero tolerance on crime (as a migrant i would be kicked out for even petty crimes, they also have death penalty on drug dealing, terrorism, murder and sex offenders), low cost of living, adhering to their own cultural values, and feels super safe. I left my bike in centre of Taipei, came back a day later and it was still there, I could walk home from the centre of a Taipei and not have any worry about my safety.
Hearing the truth is so refreshing thank you.
lol. what truth? was there a single word of it amongst that?
Yes Curt. Please put down the radio…
We, me and my husband, retired in 2023, when we looked at what the future would hold for us, we decided that as the NHS was no longer functioning and energy costs were just going up and up to the point of not being affordable for pensioners, we sadly decided we had to leave. So, we are now living in Crete and loving it. I’m so sad that the UK has disintegrated so quickly in my lifetime. If Starmer puts the uk back into Europe he’ll have a huge shock because everyone who can will leave the uk.
Good choice, I love Crete I coming over as soon as I can. The UK is finished...
That's my plan for retirement, just sell up and move to Greece. One of the islands, not a touristy one. I'm happy to learn the language and take lessons too.
He'll easily replace those that leave.
How do you get around the 90 day rule ?
Not with quality tho .....😩👎🇦🇺@@grannyannie2948
Too late to fix now. In the 70s my house was burgled by the children of a neighbor, and there were witnesses. The police even back than said there was nothing they would do.
It's weird to me that he mentions he doesn't blame the cops for all doing a terrible job. Buddy, if they can ignore a brutal assault or major theft because they don't have the time to bother, they can ignore a warrant out on someone over a tweet because they don't have the time. They choose to actively be a part of a broken system and to further it's continuation.
Literally....Chris is ridiculous
He mean the officers. My son was a UK copper for 7 years but the hierarchy was geared to specific stupid targets. He left.
I left in 2002 halfway throigh basic training as it was clear to me they didnt care about catching criminals and was on a path of brainwashing recruits
He means he doesn’t blame the average cop who has no say in how it works now that doesn’t excuse the horrible policing from cops that let’s be honest are woke as hell.
The issue is that when the cops arrest the criminals it’s the courts that simply let them off with a warning and then release them back onto the streets to do the same thing again.
This happens in Australia, the cops arrest criminals, particularly teenagers who have committed serious violent crimes only to see the courts give them bail and then give them a slap on the wrist.
Recently in Queensland a teenage girl was arrested after a police chase in a stolen car, turned out that she was out on bail for the fifteenth time for the same offence.
In some cases the cops have to deal with an identity ideology with a certain demographic here in Australia that have a very privileged position in society compared to the rest of Australians.
No, it’s not a lack of funding for police officers. It’s that the judicial system doesn’t enforce the laws.
And with a failing economy, crime will increase as desperation increases
It's happening in the US too, Over half the cases we send to the DA get dropped. And these aren't half assed slapped together cases. We had cases with signed confessions and video that got thrown out and refused to be prosecuted.
Oh boy they do just when it's most advantageous ideologically
There is also an undeniable lack of funding for police. I don't understand why you say otherwise.
It's political correctness as we used to say. I taught MBA to a varied bunch including quite senior police officers who had impossible targets - like recruiting 2% of non-white trainees. In Cumbria, 98% were white they'd have to force all of the non-whites into the force!
My dream is to be able to retire with financial security. My nightmare is that I’ll own nothing, and be ‘happy’.
that's everyone's dream
Well underway don't you think
Yeah, we will own nothing but the oligarchs will be happy!
Yes, well, what the WEF really meant by that statement was that you’ll own nothing and THEY’LL be happy.
If you listen, you’ll hear Klaus’s nearly inaudible whisper: “Oh THAT promise I made to the hoi polloi? Silly of me-I just misspoke!”
If you own nothing is better for you, you don't have nothing to worry somebody stealing from you, you'll be happier. lol

The other day i was the only english speaking person on the tube. I've been in london for 50 years. It's sad that we're not listened to or say anything that wont be construed as racists. The facts are before us.
Living in a small town in Scotland, people are moving here from all over. I’ve seen loads of change but I wouldn’t live anywhere else. Let’s be clear, I feel British. I visit London every now and again. It’s a foreign country to me now.
I also live in a small town in Fife - I have Afghans walking down my street and I’ve seen Somalis over in the East Neuk, the once most peely-wally, pale place in the known Universe. We’re going the way of England, slowly, but surely.
I live in Edinburgh. It's multicultural but mostly peaceful........for now.

I met this father of 3 children in Panamà and he and his wife moved there 15 yrs ago and said it was the best decision they made.
A thug started touching me and stole my phone and wallet (I'm a woman). This was around the corner of the police. The female officer I saw and hailed to report this crime and to tell her to catch the thug running away told me off for using an expletive to describe the lowlife. Years later in another UK city, I was subjected to an unlawful stop and search by the police. A man I saw threatening a woman he knew on public transport wasn't removed by the transport security. He later physically asssulted her... UK is messed up.
“Thug”
We know who you mean. 🤟🏿
lmao if this is true then thats how a country collapses, if the police wont do justice because you misgendered the criminal/terrorist or called them wrong then they wont do anything for the real people in society.
Animals
I was nearly killed on my 3d year living in the UK (our house was broke into) and after that people say that it is a safe place to live... I'm back to my home country and I'm happy about my decision.
Similar things especially with reporting crimes are quite often. Report only through internet application that a lot of time does not work!
I can't even comprehend the mindset behind the way the UK is being run. Imagine someone jumping you for your watch and you have no right to defend yourself. Its crazy.
So what mindset was 1932 , in 1932 Indian citizens paid the UK 330million in taxes. 78billion in today's money.
'Wokeness' would probably cover the description.
Once you understand that the ruling classes absolutely despise the common people, and not just in the UK, things start to make sense.
This isn’t true though?
Where I live in the South of England (a "commuter town"), I think it's fine if you're on an above average salary. We have lots of nice villages, countryside and places to visit. There's more of a work life balance than the US. You don't need to worry about health insurance denying your claims, or losing your coverage if your job is made redundant. Mass shootings are rare. People aren't dying in the streets from poverty and lack of healthcare. I can't imagine anywhere else would be much better.
Chris you're wrong. It is about immigration. Influx of low skilled workers, willing to work for peanuts, with no understanding or expectation of decent worker's rights, has been disastrous for the working class in Britain. Combine this with the loss of British culture in many towns and cities owing to vastly different and intolerant cultures moving in, and you've got a very unhappy and angry working class.
It’s all by design, and the culprits are rich investors and companies. I am a foreigner myself, but my entire family tree before 1800 came from Switzerland, so after four generations of absence, I decided to return to the place of my ancestors. However, I have seen how many foreigners behave here. They work for far less and most don’t even bother to integrate the slightest bit into society.
Most of the current foreigners have staying permits because companies, driven by globalism, decided it’s cheaper to import labor. At the same time, they ensure that natives only earn just enough to spend each month, minimizing wages. This creates an economy where money flows from the bottom to the top. All the politicians belong to the same class as the rich and have no interest in changing this system. You can vote for whoever you want, but they will gladly continue destroying Western nations.
The only possibility for change would be an economic collapse and massive inflation, so that our European currencies end up as worthless as those in the rest of the world. This would make our labor as cheap as theirs, forcing a systemic reset.
Why are these workers getting work visas? Unemployment is 4.3%, clearly they are not making brits unemployed. Also if you shut down work visas, companies will just open subsidiaries abroad, or hire locally at a greater cost which increases your prices. A lot of these work for NHS, and you want to stop this? Stop listening to bad sources.
@@sad_wrangler8515 yours is about the most astute comment I've seen in here. Interestingly one side of my family came from Switzerland, around 1900.
Ha ha - I felt the same fear arriving in Middlesbro' and Newcastle in the 1960s and 70s - no immigrants then!
@@foroparapentethe NHS example is nonsense. 18% of the NHS workforce is foreign born and surprisingly so are 20% of the U.K. population. So this directly correlates. They are there to serve the increased foreign born population. And the NHS is on its knees because of it .
The same thing you are depicting is happening in Spain right now. I feel this is a global Western problem, especially here in Europe
Definitely a coordinated effort.
@Zygote1205 how about "maybe", not definitely? I abhor unearned certainty
Maybe for you, but Europe is fine
Europe is all the same.
@nikolayivanov6373
No it's not
It start here in the Netherlands too.
Very big problem on the housing market here. Way to less houses. But we can’t build co2 bs. And it’s takes 10 years before all permits are done before the first stone is laid.
Renting is high. Buying a modist house cost €500.000. A couple with basic income can’t buy that.
People in the 40’s still live by their parents.
And it gets only worse. The politics is divided and fighting each other instead of making important decisions that benefit the working class people…..

I saw the writing on the wall years ago and had a hard time convincing my wife to leave, so glad we did. Last year my youngest daughter moved to Manchester and loves the UK despite the poor wages and bad weather, probably because she isn't interested in politics and isn't bothered by other peoples problems. I'm never going back, not even for a holiday.
Same here. Came Aus in 09, and I’ve yet to go back, even for a holiday. At this point I really can’t decide if I’ll ever return, or take my kids to see where I came from.
Agreed
Thought Australia just as woke
We emigrated to NZ in 2005 from SE London. Best thing we ever did.
Congratulations, you're part of the problem. Just running away instead of pushing back.
Maybe if they stopped tasking police officers to police people who post mean tweets and instead have them investigate real crimes, maybe things would get better in the UK.

"The pursuit of NetZero is the problem" NAILED IT!
Precisely
Energy is the foundation of EVERYTHING that is produced, every subcomponent, every process, transportation, handling etc, all require energy. Increasing the cost of energy mutliplies so many times in the production chain up to the consumer, so even small changes to energy prices have a big impact on final product prices.
NetZero is a real threat to humanity, unlike the climate lies posing as science.
A major problem, but there is so much more.
Netzero is an excuse for what they are DOING.
The UK was a great place especially post / during WW2 when many immigrant families could come for a better life. So I love this country for that refuge for my grandparents. That said if we could now we’d be out of here. There’s no social cohesion , crime is ridiculous. Women (especially the young ones now) aren’t safe especially in London (drink spiking etc) and no government is prioritising the people. It’s so fucked right now

No,politicians are to blame,they are the ones allowing immigration, people want a better life, so they will try to immigrate to other countries. Immigrants have to obey the laws and assimilate to their new home and be good citizens.
@@gtechnosinc2518 No. It's both. Politicians are traitors and should be... dealt with accordingly. And, the immigrants can want whatever they like, but we are under no obligation to give it to them.
