Updated at 6:24 PM 4 Years ago I packed my bags and upped sticks to the UK. It was part of a long range plan that my husband and I made to live and retire in the UK. I confess that part of our reasoning for leaving then was political, while we always planned to settle in the UK since my husband is English.....we did move our timetable up by a few years because the timing was opportune for us and both of us had had a gut full of Bush et al.No country is perfect. In fact, most countries are far from perfect. But I have to say, the polarization I am seeing now over universal health care and now something so innocuous as the President of the United States of America giving a speech to the nation's school children and encouraging them to work hard and stay in school makes me so wonder if there really is any hope for America.I've got friends from the States emailing me asking me to relay any information and help I can regarding the possibility of them immigrating here to the UK or Europe. They see no hope of the Right Wing ever trying to reach any middle ground....and they speak of the Right attempting to block anything and everything that Democrats try to achieve.Looking at it all from afar, perhaps I see things differently......but to be honest.....I can't say I'm surprised. I thought when Bush achieved a 2nd term that even if the Democrats regained control of the White House and/or Congress in a post-Bush era, it would take a miracle to get back all that was lost. I do wonder whether anyone can fix what is so broken.I have no regrets for leaving. I love my country, but I'm glad I left.
A DUmmie that finally left.
Does it really count as leaving since her husband is English? That would be like my wife saying she was tired of living in New York so we moved to Illinois, the state that I am from. OTOH, the husband may have told her that he was moving to England and she could come along or stay here. She fooled him, she chose to go.
But not for one of the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants with free medical care for all, which the primitives admire so much.Better had the primitive moved to Cuba or North Korea or China or Zimbabwe.
I would pay for the airfare.

In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, a group of experts who care for the terminally ill claim that some patients are being wrongly judged as close to death.Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away. snipForecasting death is an inexact science,â€they say. Patients are being diagnosed as being close to death “without regard to the fact that the diagnosis could be wrong.“As a result a national wave of discontent is building up, as family and friends witness the denial of fluids and food to patients.
like mainland Europe, well on its way to being an islamic republic..

Am I the only one that noticed this ?WTF ?
Amazing the amount of responders who want to leave still. Don't they have the white house and both houses of congress now? And they STILL want to leave?
That's what I thought too. I guess they are finally realizing that no matter which party is in power, they really don't matter and no one really cares about what they want.
