      Did you live in a part of the UK that was never governed by a Thatcher ministry?

      If such a part exists in the UK, then surely it is the best part to live today.

      News flash. The UK is not part of Europe and in fact emulates all the wonderful American policies that favour the owner class

        Did the UK detach itself from the earth’s surface and move to another continent while I’ve been gone?

        The UK left the EU, they’re still in Europe.

        Edit: the cheek of starting such an idiotic comment with “news flash” is astounding.

          The issue is social and political, not geographical, and not particularly related to Brexit, except tangentially.

          I live in the Netherlands and I can take 5 weeks vacation whenever I want. I just need to coordinate with my team and I can go.

          I’m on the continent and yeah it’s totally different to the UK. I couldn’t find a plumber or electrician if I wanted to. I’m waiting for September to get stuff fixed. Ordered a ski jacket a couple of weeks ago and got an email saying the factory is closed until the 28th, then they’ll be working on the backlog lol
