Sometimes perhaps we just don't appreciate what we do have and just get caught on one or two negatives whilst failing to see the overall positive and it takes the stranger to point out that we do have a great life and a glorious place to live.All those immigrants may just as well be drawn here because they wish to share in what is so wonderful here that they don't find in their own country.
Freedom,justice,education,welfare and the right to disagree with authority provided it's done so in a civilised manner plus beautiful scenery.Who wouldn't treasure all that?

i agree with the sentiment but the country is changing and not for the better imo
