It was only after we left 🇬🇧 that we really got to understand how bad things were, and how much worse they are getting.. when you are on the outside looking in, you see in absolute clarity the breakdown of society, infrastructure, rule of law...

If you're legitimately resident in the 🇪🇺 as a 🇬🇧 you have no problems, if you are not resident but adhere to the 90/180 you have no problems.. if you fly under the radar and or overstay you will have problems, it's as simple as that..

I returned from Gdansk last week after a short trip with my wife, we were mightily impressed with how, clean, modern and clearly on the up it is.. public transport was excellent...

I'm always curious when I see a pub table top or bar, curious about the stories they could tell..

Im 🇬🇧 but resident in 🇸🇪.. I pay 32% on my worldwide income, the personal allowance for me here is less than £2k, in the UK it would be significantly higher, but I happily pay for a good quality of life, infrastructure that works and works well..

True story: I worked with the 🇨🇦 armed forces some years back, invited to the bar after training, guy says "what you drinking"?.. I replied err Budweiser please, the bar went like the American werewolf in London scene.. he says, "we don't drink Yankee beer here son"!. He gave me a Molson 😉

Ty, I served my country for 39 yrs, but I am genuinely ashamed of what it has become, we live in 🇸🇪 now, our teenage children have become young men in a tolerant equal society.. keep up the resistance in Portland and across the US, good will win...

Our youngest son has just started at University in Oslo, he is dual 🇬🇧/🇸🇪 having resided in 🇸🇪long enough to gain citizenship, he could have chosen anywhere in 🇪🇺 or the Nordics thanks to us being out of 🇬🇧 and in 🇪🇺.

You don’t get to bankroll a genocide…

Embolden and cheer on the perpetrators

…and then call yourself a hero for pulling the plug.
