When i was growing up in Dublin, there were far more Spanish in Dublin than most of my adult life, truth is, London AND Dublin are so much more unsafe and those hoards of Spanish school kid trips dried up.
I doubt Labour could solve all the problems of the last thirteen years but given there’s a choice of two I’ll lean towards the one that improved living standards considerably last time they had a chance over the one that has shown no interest in improving anything for at least the last seven years. Will also buy the bloke who sits outside Waitrose a sandwich after your encouraging words.
nah, I did work in the square mile London some 15 years ago. I'm an Irish bro, Dublin. I left Ireland tho, it's a ****hole now
Then your take on life in England is based on snippets of information you pick up rather than lived experience 2023 .
Last 13 years? Short memory. Blair's labour set you on a path to destruction. Never mind the Iraq war, tell me how much money went into that, instead of schools, infrastructure, social policies. As long as people think they must vote for one of two parties nothing will change, same for the US and why nothing really changes there either Every other option the media make appear irrelevant or a bogeyman. US media does the same thing
"Lived experience" is a woke term, I am shocked We already have a term, "from my perspective" and when you put it like that it isn't such a "truth", or "my truth" is it? as we all have a perspective. London looks very changed from when I worked there, even as near back as 2007-8ish but I dont live there and don't profess to know what its like for people living there.
When the UK was in the EU they still needed a passport to visit the UK. Pooting has you well trained in duff information
I think Dublin is a **** hole , never been , never lived there , never had any experience of it . Just a hunch
EUROPEAN UNION subjects aren't supposed to be able to afford passports they travel within the Shengen zone with their Ursula-von-der-leyen EUROPEAN UNION covid passports. Unfortunately they don't work outside of the EUROPEAN UNION. A Romanian would need a Romanian passport & visa to travel to America, which Is of course racist Biden says for voters .
It is. Its a very unsafe city now. It used to be just some small parts that were dodgy, now its pretty much anywhere is dodgy. There use to be social cohesion, a level of respect for others to varying degrees, and a sense of identity, and law and order, but its all but gone.
Just seems odd how invested & passionate you seem to be about the UK , if you are an Irish expat living in the EUROPEAN UNION. Bizzare
**** the EU and **** their COVID passports. Good ol Ursula lost all her texts with Pfizer CEO (convenient), while her husband made serious bank from the EU's COVID policies. The EU is ****ing rotten to the core Being in the EU means its EU crooks and your own crooks robbing you, rather than just your own crooks
you're imagining it, I got into a few posts in reply to that other chap. I use a US message board too, and never mention the UK. I'm already knackered. I come back for a few weeks every few years, and every time they're still raging about Brexit.
Like many main UK cities , they’re all turning into ****holes . City councils running them into ground . next up to be finished off and left to utter ruin , Glasgow with the 15 minute city precursors, the LEZ and DRS.
Been saying it to wifey for several years, I have this urge to move somewhere remote away from ****in everyone, with no internet connection. Fam isn't into that idea tho
