I know. It’s like something out of a futuristic movie.I honestly think there will be riots soon. The potential is there for the country to completely disintegrate in the next few weeks.
Was planning to emigrate this year... but my job offer was rescinded because of CovidIf I was in my 20s, I'd be long gone out of this shitehole.
Fingers crossed that job is yours!I wish I'd left ten years ago if I'm honest. I don't think anyone could have predicted what was going to unfold back then. I interviewed (badly) for a job abroad last week so here's hoping. I'm a bit of a doom and gloom merchant and I thought the last GE was our only hope. It didn't go the way I would have liked and I was in a fog of depression after. Then Covid happened and it has just gone so completely and disastrously wrong I know I have to leave or else I will be living with depression and anxiety forever in this country. I'm so angry every day and that's no way to live.
Thank you! Very mixed feelings right now but I didn't perform particularly well in interview and there are many hoops to jum through for it to happen. But just the fact that I'm doing it is something I never thougth would happen. But I can only see things getting worse here.Fingers crossed that job is yours!
Me too, before Covid I was seriously considering leaving the U.K. I think we are living in a dying country, Scotland will leave within ten years, Wales in 20-25 and NI will probably become part of the ROI.If I was in my 20s, I'd be long gone out of this shitehole.
This is why Cummings/Gove drove the nation off a cliff to get Brexit (Boris didn’t care - his only motivation was to be PM). It was never about Parliamentary sovereignty (as I think they have demonstrated with their proroguing of Parliament and general contempt and making announcements through the press). They just wanted unfettered ability to carve up the NHS, clamp down on civil liberties and basically restructure society to their exact (and warped) specifications.We have more to lose, actually.
The dismantlement of the NHS and welfare state will very much speed up now. We've always had that safety blanket. The US hasn't.
Oh sweet Jesus, to have an actual grown up like Nicola in charge right now. That's where we are at - all I want is an adult in charge, nothing else. Watching these scumbags make their friends rich off of people dying makes me so sick I just want to reach for the bottle.Immediately just went into the other room when the BBC newsreader said that he was coming on.
The guy makes me sick just listening to him and I can't believe he actually would think that anyone would take him and what he says seriously at this point. I don't like Sturgeon at all but I'd at least listen to her advice as she usually conducts herself with an adequate amount of dignity.
What I would give to have John Major or Gordon Brown in charge right now.Immediately just went into the other room when the BBC newsreader said that he was coming on.

Alas, Sky News kept Gordon Brown's mic live whilst he privately referred to a bigot as being a bigot.What I would give to have John Major or Gordon Brown in charge right now.
