Well I don't equate the people of any country with the politics of that country.Fragment wrote: Fri Feb 21, 2025 12:49 pmI'd probably phrase it as "there are many good people in the community from the UK, despite it being a dystopian hell hole". But maybe that's just me (and I definitely would extend it to most of the anglosphere).Outis wrote: Fri Feb 21, 2025 9:59 am Hello and welcome, the UK is a fine place with many good people in the community from there.
I've travelled to a lot of countries and one thing I've learned is that from China to the US and everywhere in the middle, people are generally very similar. People working hard to make a better life for themselves and their families, trying to get ahead and hopefully have a little time for themselves.
I'm in the UK, the current government and previous government are near identical in every meaningful way, both surviving within the same dystopian swamp, with no interest in the rights or happiness of citizens. The government sits on the top of the hill, citizens exist to serve them and they had better never get out of line.
I'm in the UK also and have no love for the government (left or right wing) or the whole political system, but the people are mostly alright, the same as other countries.
