I'd love them . I can see why you'd hate them though, they are basically the opposite to what you want You'd hate it, full of foreigners and foreign ways of doing things. Although a spell as an immigrant might open your eyes a bit I guess. I've got nothing against foreigners, in fact I prefer many of them to the 'English' . They haven't fallen for lefty wokery especially in Eastern Europe. They've got experience with the evils of communism and don't want to see it again. Hungary as well , I like their PM , Viktor Orbán. I'd be his mate

It makes sense, we’ve always had far more in common with the US than Europe, well in recent history anyway. In my experience there is so much to enjoy about America, it can be a wonderful place, but the unpleasant side which unfortunately has transmitted to our shores is a huge reason our culture is so desperately depressing. Yep, which makes it more disappointing that we've turned away from Europe and their ways of doing things and towards the States. People will get more pissed off, not less, if we continue to import their ways of doing things. We have social media to thank for a lot of the social Illness that’s been created. A simplistic view perhaps but I can’t actually think of many other tangible reasons

Her dad was very religious and did things the traditional way, a no nonsense bloke that I had a lot of time for . He reminded me of how the English used to be back before we went soft. Edit : not all of us , just the woke types and those that are weak minded and have fallen under their 'spell'

Being encouraged to demonise certain sections of society or outgroups? Both of which come from the top, not just social media.

Depends if it's to work, start a business or retire. Retirement wise Portugal looks good. Portugal is a lovely country to visit. There are many fascinating places to visit off the beaten track in north and central Portugal. Try and learn a few basics of the language - not one of the easiest language to learn. I found the people lovely and wanting to please. There are one or two rough area in Lisbon but otherwise I love the place. I would support Portugal too. Many cultural links to the UK, splendid scenery, and a political tolerant society. Actually learning the language has been fun for me, and it has massive links with Brazil. They also allow you to hold dual nationality. Ireland i can also see, for it's links to the UK.

I moved to the US and I'm fucking lucky with job and gf and that but even though I'm in one of the best states I still miss home.
So I'd pick the UK. If you had my job and gf then maybe the US.

I’m pretty sure “the top” are influenced greatly by social media though I think they set the agenda and people on social media lap it up and propagate it. Social media is just one platform to get their message out. The papers are exactly the same. It's the approach that's doing the damage. If you want to see our future look to the society of the US. Alarming.

Thanks very much, I wouldn’t personally move elsewhere in Europe. The options are few and far between these days but I’d probably look at somewhere like New Zealand as an option, friend of mine emigrated there about 5 years ago and said there’s no way he’d come back, seems annoyingly happy every time I speak to him😉. Another bonus being he reckons they are 30 years behind the U.K. also which is another perk. All being said I still think we are lucky in this country to have the life most of us do and despite the deterioration in just the last 3 years or so I still live in some sort of hope things can still change but time is running out. My old boss bought a house near Chernobyl about 10 years ago, rather him than me👀 Completely agree about NZ, went there many years ago and loved it, great place. All of the happiness indices put most of northern Europe ahead of the UK, so they're clearly getting things right in ways that we're not. We rank about the same level as the States which isn't all that surprising since we're resembling them more and more with every passing year. My first and only ever experience of NZ was trying to get a taxi from Christchurch airport into the City at early am. The taxi said he didn't pick up Australians...not the first time been mistaken for Australian , bizarrely then when I flashed my passport he would have unpacked my bags at the hotel he changed his tune that much 😁 The only city been to in NZ and too brief a visit but certainly going back one day.

Alarming. Probably more than a bit of both, all done in cahoots for personal gain. My recent trip to the US was a positive one although I understand I was in one city and the country is vast so can’t comment on the place overall. What I will say is I didn’t witness one bit of trouble in a heavily Mexican populated city over the 12 days I was there, in fact it was probably the most friendly and hospitable city I’ve ever visited.

Likewise when I went to Florida recently. One thing I did notice though is that it's very superficial. People were lovely but it was tourist stuff and if you ever mentioned their way of life or wanted to know what America was really like they either clammed up completely or went off on some weird rant! I suspect that there's a lot going on that you just don't see. Not sure we should really be following their lead.

You ever thought of emigrating to Brighton? 😂 Is that a homophobic slur, by any chance, Crappy? What a surprise! Perhaps you would fit in in places like Hungary lol. Naah, you'd hate it. You'll be the kind who spends his entire time abroad in the Irish boozer eating full English's every day and thinking how well he's taken to the foreign culture! Imagine how you'd feel not being able to understand the language. You'd be back in weeks. Btw, you can't emigrate to the same country!!

I can imagine you'd hate the fact they didn't speak English and expected you to learn their language. You'd be absolutely lost in a foreign culture. It'd be a really worthwhile eye-opener I suspect but it'll never happen!

I work with alot of people from Bucharest and would be quite close to them. One of the girls is in a long term relationship with a half Hungarian boy. His dad is Hungarian and beat his wife before she left. His elderly mum lives with in the family home and he treats her like shit too regularly screaming at an old frail woman while the girl I know is in his company. His son is a pathetic piece of shit too and is no stranger to lifting his hand to the girl I know. At least these big strong brave men aren't wokey lefties and hold traditional values. Know to keep the women locked in the kitchen and lift your hand when they don't listen.

A lefty doesn't have any masculine traits so they definitely wouldn't defend a women except maybe on the Internet. They'd call it 'toxic' 🙄

A bit like with a drug addict, you need the person to want to help themselves too. Plus I'm not sure my partner would be comfortable with me going to a foreign country to play superman for another woman. Its a complicated situation. But I don't feel they're in any immediate serious danger in the short term.
