The perception is that the UK is now a very dangerous place. It has been before but now it's worst. 20 years ago I went to visit some friend and I heard stories of bullies not even scared of adults and families where both parents would go binge drinking leaving the kids alone.I was there 6 years ago. Well I could have been in India.

The police at the border is horrible. The like to intimidate people. Compare to the USA it's a scary place.

Oh we definitely have enough families who show no care and attention to their kids and prefer to go off taking drugs and getting drunk. We also have young people with no respect or fear for their elders since discipline has been eradicated. Surprised to hear about the hostile police tbh but appreciate that as a perception shared. Thankyou 🙏

Hope your country will be back the old splendor

I hope so, one day - if not in my lifetime then at least in my daughters

I don't know, you've done it twice & there was a very long span in between.

Rome hasn't risen again since it fell...

I mean last time it took from the bronze age collapse to the 1600 - 1700s, that's a little while. 🤣

I reckon once you ruin it it doesn't come back without significant attrition at some point, the plague probably provided that attrition last time.

When I say you I really mean us, we haven't been separate for long enough for there to be a difference.
