THE UK IS A DYSTOPIA AND I AM LEAVING SOON | PART 1

The UK is all about low standards, high costs, cuts, no buts, no coconuts. This country is only getting worse, get out before it's too late.

[LightSaber]

Former British soldier and police officer. Left the UK this year. F that country. Good riddance

[thiefonthecross]

Until people realize it's intentional we'll be running around in circles pointing fingers.

[TheCJHutchison]

Sorry man. As a Brit living in Bulgaria, every time I’m in UK it depresses me and literally cannot wait to leave.
Some psychopathic political decisions being made

I lived in Switzerland for 4 years on 120k. I came back to the UK because I missed my family. I came back to 1/4 of my Swiss salary to live in a damp studio and waiting in the rain for buses that don’t show up. The regret of coming back is strong

This is what happens when you destroy manufacturing and start shuffling money around instead. No real value is created.

I’m a single female 32. I live in a shared house. I can’t afford even a studio flat now. I did when I was 18 - 22 then out of nowhere my wages didn’t meet the price of rent/bills etc. I have never been on holiday, I don’t have a social life I literally go to work, come home. Read books and go to bed because electric is to high. It’s sad. I had this thought the other day thinking are we alive to simply pay for a wall and water.

The UK is a poor country with a rich city.

[realremixali]

No one talks about the cost of train tickets in the uk. Its a complete rip off and the service sucks now.

[totalwar]

I'm an EU citizen that has been going regularly to the UK (roughly once a month) over the last 15 years. I'm shock at how bad the situation is getting there, I've seen the rapid decline before my eyes with disbelief. I do wish it gets better, as I used to admire the country when I was young

[jrddoubleu]

It's by design. The intent is to consume all middle and lower class estates.

[davidnorthdale]

I actually lived in southern France for 15 years. Like a fool, I returned. How I regret it. What a broken, nasty little place it has become. Unless you are extremely wealthy. To think I actually signed up as a young man to serve in the military. Never again. Why serve a country that sees you as second class in your own land.

[vanessas]

Have you noticed how people are getting nastier too? That survival thing, competitive. Its making people hopeless and unhappy. You can see the stress etched on people's faces.
And a miserable climate.
I loathe it, and its giving me poor mental health.

Excellent video. Subscribed.

I already left.
Moved from Glasgow to Romania.
Bought a house for £5l, spent another £10k from savings doing it up, all without a mortgage.
Will be building a nice extension and renovating our barn to be a summer living area, all high spec.
Private well, private septic tank, no mains gas, mains electricity that goes out every couple of weeks but we have solar and a generator to offset. We use a wood stove with a back boiler that heats our entire house and our hot water.

I kept my UK job earning about £2k a month after taxes.
Oh, did I mention? Property tax (council tax) is £20 A YEAR.

That includes weekly bin days (Friday) and recycling days (alternating - 1 week plastic, next week paper)

My Land Rover is £300 a YEAR to insure and about the same for tax.

If it weren't for all of the renovations/extension work we're doing, I'd keep about 90% of my monthly salary, seriously.

The UK is over.

[rogston]

The UK acts as if it's still a 5 star hotel, when in reality it's now a 3 star hotel (at best). It has been in decline for years. Successive Tory and Labour governments are partly to blame. It is soulless, has lost direction and moral clarity of any kind. It has lost its way.

[amxaas]

Politicians DO know what they're doing. It's by design mate.

[nicmafia]

i saw my local mp in sainsburys on friday afternoon. she was doing a "big shop" kids and nanny in tow. saw her in the parking lot getting into a £60k merc and the kids and nanny drove home seperately in an suv. this woman, who claims to be liberal, voted against the winter fuel allowance even though her constituency is one of the poorest in the UK. thought to myself as she drove off, you aint gonna be cold this winter are you? its true what you say, the people in charge care nothing for the people just whats in it for them.

I moved back from Japan in 2022 for family and I regret it every day. London is miserable. Streets are covered in dog poo, the crime, the crazy rent prices, the meh food, long wait times for GP referrals, poor infrastructure, etc. I make almost double what I used to make in Japan, but my quality of life is lower because I can just about do and afford half the things I could in Tokyo. I rely on credit cards and instalment payments WAY more now, because money just doesn't stretch as far here in London. I plan on escaping the UK in 2025 and I don't plan on returning.

[frusia]

I'm a Pole. I've lived in Britain for 18 years, basically all my adult life. I've paid all my tax in Britain. I love Britain, it's my home now. But I'm planning to go back to Poland, because the state of health care here scares me. I feel like this country took advantage of my best years, but feels no obligation to help me when I get old. In the meantime my mother in Poland had a knee replacement with 2 months of professional rehabilitation, all on national health care. My mum and my sister have more diagnostic tests in a year than I've had here in 18 years.

[bumscoria]

Yes, it's a former 1st world country being slowly taken down on purpose - but then this applies to all Western countries.

[MimiTempest]

Everyone in the UK is one step away from financial ruin. Whether that’s bereavement, a car accident, a poorly child or a business partner who betrays you. Hard work doesn’t keep you safe here.
