Re: Is it just me, or does anyone else think this country is totally **** now?
I like this country, and wouldn't want to leave it (and I have had job offers in the USA, NZ, and others).
I don't have a problem paying tax , which goes towards education, hospitals, and helping those less well off; just because a minority abuse it, doesn't mean it is wrong (imho).
I have got back
a) a reasonable standard of education for both my children
b) good health care for me and my family when needed
c) reasonable infrastructure for day to day living (council services, etc)
d) democratic (mostly) government
e) nice neighbours and friends
So in answer to your question,
a) No, I don't think this country is totally poo now
b) I have got lots back that benefits me and my family
