I hated the weather, the lack of sunshine (sunsets at 3 PM????? Eu membership is brilliant for immigrants like her who get immediate access to all the UK facilities, including the NHS and benefits.

In 2004, it was announced as the Oxford Languages "Word of the Year" and entered the mainstream, appearing in documentaries and television shows. Blackburn - the least worst town on the list (. The main reason is that I see the EU as being an impossible project, led by weak consensus politicians with no grand vision for economic growth. The opportunity to be free and to express freedom of thought is still prevalent in this country that he now lives in, albeit in his matchbox house. Politically, we are also one of the best countries in the world. And so, nobody ever remembered the severe damage the conservative party did to this country throughout the years. I know many foreigners who are happy in the UK and live well. Finally my favorite thing in all England are the landscapes, in all the country you can see a lot of turistic atraccions, architectural as well as natural. Britain is unrecognizable from its former glory. My name is Josefa Ubilla, i`m fourteen years old, and i live in Chile. I think everyone tries to make the best out of their situation , while yearning for the differences that are experienced by others , this sadly doesn't illustrate the hardship or difficulties that come with moving abroad or staying abroad. Hi Camila, I too, love Scotland. I was born and bred in England, and have travelled extensively but never lived outside of the UK, and I absolutely hate it here now. Their standards are on the up. I have even found happiness in giving up my life as the career city girl for a stay at home mom and have never been happier. The class system, the monopoly that the Royals hold and their ongoing theft of taxpayer funds while supported by the House of Frauds and their PR machine have destroyed the soul of the UK. Its streets are filled with mullet, snapback, nike, [] But as I say it never really went away it was always there. It is the term Chav that is uncommon to me. I must say, I don't think your assertion that 'most people in the UK are racist' is fair. As you might have gathered thus far, the prices in the UK are rather high. So although Britain has a limited amount of dishes, it comes with a great variety of ingredients. Britain has come a long way, and whilst not perfect, is one of the most welcoming nations culturally-curious in the world. No, I haven't experienced any racism here in North Yorkshire.

Brexit will force the country not to depend on London, but doesn't UK import a lot of their produce from Spain to start with? :-(. Yes, I disagree with Brexit, but that is the nature of democracy. Did I? Politicians are trying to get rid of the Human Rights (read about it if you don't believe me) and without a flinch, the great British government passed "the most extreme surveillance law in the history of western democracy" (to quote Snowden). You are so right about costs! I have degrees in Business and Cyber Security. Because I am white I could pass for being British or European but I am not. Those racists that bully immigrants in the Uk should remember what many of their ancestors did around the world in the past, that is, exploit people, countries, resources, etc. That is very sweet of you. In case you dont know much about Balkan food (clearly you dont), we have kebabs (mici in Romania, cevapi in ex-Yugoslavia countries), spicy vegetable spreads and dips, apple, cherry and pumpkin pies and strudels, sour noodle soups, SEASONINGS (so shocking for British palates I know) such as paprika, chilli sauces, garlic dips, shawarmas (thats another kebab for you), cheesy or jam filled doughnuts, the cabbage rolls you mentioned are filled with meat, rice and spices! Britain is a small island and we value our green space, which has been eroded over the years through over development. Sorry Brandon but I think you are missing the point because Cory is talking about how immigrants are treated . Your remark about the EU being a dictatorship shows a bizarre disconnect from the ugly reality of the current world. Very brave and I can't wait to see what comes next!

No visa to Australia without the qualifications, sponsorship, medical insurance etc. One other thing I learnt is where can you go in the world where you will not be the victim of racism because of your name or your origins? I'm so sorry you've felt victimised by negative attitudes, it's never acceptable to be anti 'other'. But its like I've always maintained since the vote happened is that lots of people voted Brexit for many complex reasons. As a Brit, I can say that most of what you say is true. So to sum up I'm 100% with you and wish you the very best of luck in your move. You are from Romania but you don't want to live there? Oh, don't believe the popular etymologies that you read sometimes in the press and on websites. I have been unable to find work in my field because they don't know what to do with my qualifications ('You need a UK qualification'), and the algorithm ber-usage in this country is insane. Wish us luck. Cory, I apologise on behalf of my generation of useless entitled fossils, for our collective stupidity and gullibility. Is England a good place to live? Most UK people are welcoming so please don't group us all together. I'm sad that 52% of our fellow countrymen make you feel that you're not welcome. Oh, oh, did you travel the British style too? Now it's obsessed with 'poverty' (can't afford food but can fags and false nails) and banal debates about identity. Nobody is going to vote "leave" and nobody is going to vote for "Trump". Yes, yes, yes and yes! Im not alone. I am super excited to learn that you liked Romania.

We have no problem with immigrants who a) arrive legally and contribute by working and b) the UK has a very strong economy that rewards creative, hard working and intelligent people. Anyone who moans about food options in the modern UK must be very, very insular and live in a little bubble or is a spoiled idiot with myopia. Dear Cory, As i said before the cleaning in the streets and order let it be maintained, makes the city more beautiful and also helps the environment. Enjoy your sovereignty, Mark. Unlike many others, we understand the importance of being part of the EU. Since we are freelancers and we are location independent, we realised there are better places more suitable for our current lifestyle. But let me tell you, though, you shouldn't see immigrants as a problem, but as a solution. The irony of this situation is that in your misguided attempt to Make England Great Again, you've torpedoed much of the foundation of the UK's current wealth. It's interesting. The more I integrated, the more I saw, understood and acknowledged. This is middle class hatred of the white working class, pure and simple. I am now 51 and after 19 years as a teacher have the last few years become fed up of the British and my way of life. You chose to live in Manchester one of the wettest and coldest parts of the UK - and yet most of Europe is colder than Manchester for most of the year. This means that if you have a car, you can get pretty much anywhere around the UK. The non-whites you do have in YOUR government are actively working against their own people's interests (Patel and Sunak come to mind) and they are highly xenophobic. I am very sorry to hear about your experience in the UK, but it has become all too common these days. What has made this country an awful place to live is intolerant arseholes like you who are too uneducated to embrace what different nationalities and viewpoints have to offer.

The weather of the UK is the best of anywhere in the world. In any case the more I travel the more I learn and I have met so many great people over the years who are prepared to look beyond where one comes from.

Hearty breakfasts with omelettes, sausages (not bread filled sausages like British ones, as Im sure you heard of Polish kielbasa), egg, sour cream and white cheese. WOW. Very nice post! I also witnessed a significant rise in social tension, not to mention all the things you refer to, such as, very poor housing, extortionate prices and a general lowering living standards across the board.
