I Left the UK and I'm NEVER Going Back to Live in "Broken Britain" 

just look at this dude. all relaxed. washing the car. birds singing. safe. nobody robbing the local for cigaretes. nobody bashing his car in for ten quid in change. just a happy dude.

Completely agree! We left the UK in 2023 and although we go back to see the kids and grandkids every now and then, we don't miss it one bit! Our stress levels have plummeted since we left...No more worrying about who was going to attack us in the street, worrying when the Police would arrive next door because the neighbour was a druggie who hallucinated about people breaking in, worrying about what the next thing thrown through the pub window was going to be, or the next stabbing victim in the pub was going to be, (One of our friends was stabbed to death!)...Never ever going back to the UK to live, and I believe it has got even worse since we left last year GOOD RIDDANCE!

Retired expat from the US living in Thailand the past five years. Haven't missed the US for a moment. Every day great here. Going back to the US would be my WORST nightmare. Place is a complete.mess. happily bye bye forever.

I was once attacked by bikers while walking down the street with my husband in Richmond, London. It was daytime, there were people everywhere, but I was walking close to the roadway, and I had a bag on my shoulder, the bikers tore it off my shoulder, I fell and injured my arm. Someone called an ambulance and they took me to the hospital for examination, the police came to our house in the evening and gave me a police whistle just in case, they offered me a psychologist, but I refused. Then this incident was written about in the local newspaper. I love London very much, but I'm planning to move to Spain. London is too expensive now... I will miss England and the British❤

Moved to Thailand 15 years ago. Living in a quiet area like you. Never had any trouble. Neighbours very friendly. Young people respect you. The UK has gone down the toilet.

I m so sorry man. As someone who suffered bullying when young, I totally understand the pain. And yes the uk feels often unbelievably unsafe

l would describe the UK as dying imo, but it appears to be the same for most of the western world.

Sorry to hear this about your nephew. My son is autistic and we are planning to leave the Uk before his teens.

Im back in Blighty after 12 years in Asia, just for a couple of months, cant leave soon enough, falling apart, overpriced is no exaggeration

That's why I left England 16 years ago and live in Scotland. It's been much better here. England is a cesspit

It's getting worse in Norway too. every week there is some kind of machete or knife stabbing. just worrying

The state of policing in this country is rock bottom. It is clear the offender gets better treatment than the victim. We are the laughing stock of the world. Sticks & stones may break bones, but any form of bullying is wicked and if endured over a period of time can be life changing for the victim. I'm sorry your nephew is dealing with a life he never asked for, let alone the abuse he has to cope with. Unfortunately he is not alone. My disabled partner had lit cigarettes thrown in his hair by school kids in uniform outside McDonalds, the police and the school did nothing. Britain is indeed broken on so many levels.

Wish to hell I could leave the UK I hate it now

I'm having very serious discussions with my wife about returning to her home country of Colombia. Weirdly I've walked around her home town at night and never once felt threatened. It has wonderful wildlife and countryside. The weather is great. It's not over populated. The police are helpful and are allowed to do their jobs. When they do, they are not criticized for it by various quarters. Sure it definitely has its problems but on balance it seems a lot less problematic to be in Colombia than the UK at the moment.

Left the UK in 2008. Everytime I go back it gets progressibly worse. I cant imagine a scenario where I will live there again. Crime, poverty, awful healthcare. I dont recognise my city anymore that I grew up in, half of it is a no go zone for normal people.

As I walk in the central part of Hua Hin, all I can feel is the acceptance of those around me. No hate, barbs or unwanted comment. Everyone is accepted whoever or whatever you are or want to be. Only a few more months until it will be permanent for me. The tranquility and quality of life especially in your neck of the woods is such a far cry from the UK and all that is wrong there. Thanks for saying what others cannot or will not - for whatever reason.

Hi Leslie,  I watched your heartwarming video about Nathan's past and it brought tears to my eyes. I want to express my appreciation for your kind words.  Here at Mediterraneo Marine Park, we firmly believe in providing a safe and welcoming environment for all our guests. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated and we are grateful that Nathan had a pleasant experience with our staff and animals.  We were thrilled to hear about Nathan's love for dolphins and how he interacted with them. Our team takes pride in ensuring that our marine life are well taken care of, and Nathan's visit truly brought smiles to our faces.  We cannot wait for Nathan's next visit in 2024! Our doors are always open to him and we hope to provide him with an unforgettable experience once again. Wishing Nathan all the best in achieving his goals and aspirations.  Thank you for sharing your story with us. It truly touched our hearts.  Warmest regards, Mediterraneo Marine Park Team 🐬

Top video Les, I'm with you all the way, so happy to have left 'Broken Britain ' behind and moved to Isaan. Sorry to hear of the struggles for your Nephew, reassure him that people in other situations are caring.

This country lost common sense years ago

Your in paradise mate,only good thing about Britain is the benefits sod all else

We are selling up and moving to Europe as we speak, the UK isn't the same place I grew up in 😔

Sadly I have to agree Les. Another heartfelt film. Best wishes to you and your family.

Excessive immigration has ruined the UK unfortunately passed the point of beneficial immigration.

Been here 15 years now will never go back to the UK. You have a great life here still cheap and a safe place to live

So sorry to hear about your nephew Les .The country has gone to the dogs .Been coming for a long time .Like you said crime is getting worse the streets are not safe and don’t even get me started on the politicians .Hopefully now within the next 5 years I can come to Thailand and retire for good .

Its a messed up country.

I left in 1979 .Over the past 5 years when i return it has plummeted into a state of disrepair. So very happy that i decided to leave when i was 24 years old .So sorry to hear about your nephew ,he deserves so much better .

Great video Les! I’m not from the UK but completely understand your frustration with the lack of respect in society today. No one place is perfect, but I am certainly looking forward to the opportunity of retiring and living the dream in Thailand myself one day! All the very best!

Unfortunate what your nephew has had to deal with his entire life. The same legislation is happening in Washington state that has happened in California regarding shoplifting. Crime ridden streets, the feeling of being unsafe, skyrocketing costs, are just a few of the reasons I will not go back to the United States to live. Thank you Les.

Agree with everything you've said. Im in Middlesbrough, ive been robbed at knifepoint, burgled 10+ times, attacked in my own house, I know nearly 50 people who have died from murder, suicide or OD. The UK is brutal.

The Uk is not the same place. It is crazy. I am sorry for your nephew. And all he had to endure. Good on him for standing up to them. The parents need to be called out. Not setting any boundaries for these kids. Happy Sunday.

I've had 1 experience of needing police and 1 of needing ambulance, i've never phoned them in 30 years except for these two times (lucky i suppose). 1. Police, gang of 15year olds ripping garden fence off and throwing eggs and stones at my house, caught it all on camera, police asked me if i really wanted to do anything about it because of their age and 'they would know it was you' ....too much paperwork for them. 2. Ambulance, was told it would be a 4hr wait.... what??

Nice Video Les It's stuff like this is the reason we are leaving the UK early next year and coming to Jomtien.Crime,huge inflation,poor pension increases over the years are resulting in poorer and poorer living standards continually year after year.I have a family member who has mental health issues and like your nephew a easy target for bullies and end up suffering from huge anxieties.Which as you rightly state very little or if any support to help.When you said he told you he felt safe over in Thailand it brought a tear to my eye along with anger and frustration that our country is no longer a very safe place to live.

True story, in 2016 i went to Thailand for a month, Bangkok for a week, Phuket for a week, phi phi then Krabi. In that time i made lots of friends from lots of different parts of the world, many nationalities that were nice and the Thai people themselves were brilliant and helpful. One night me and my friend went out for a drink and we were randomly started on by 4 drunk lads from birmingham all of places (not far from my hometown) and i couldn’t believe it. Even the police were cool as hell with us after the whole ordeal was over.

The cops know who every single one of these thugs are, they know what they do, they know their guilt and tricks to avoid arrest, but the problem is the cops hands are tied. It's the law, the state of litigation, and the fear of upsetting minorities & certain demographics that has been brewing for decades. It's a crying shame.

Les, sorry for what your nephew has to go through. But it is a symptom of disease and degeneration of our Western societies and not just UK.

I agree what you said about the UK.It's going down the toilet fast!I had 2 teenagers steal parcels from my van year's ago,told the Police very near by and they said there's too much paperwork to do so were not interested,i knew where they went in a block of flats but i couldn't do anything by the law!?I live in Italy some of the year now and every time i return to the UK things seem to be getting worse,everything is run down,seaside resorts,city centres,poor roads,i see people taking drugs everywhere!The cost of living is high as well as the insane house prices!People put with it while those idiots in charge do nothing!Makes me really mad!😡

Les, our parliament is a good example of many criminals under one roof. Little surprise that the peasants are turning to petty criminality

What goes around comes around. Parents are entirely responsible for this by failing to discipline their kids and teach them the difference between right and wrong. A minority of course, but it explains why you got to this result. Parents can no longer smack their kids. If a country adopts lenient and degenerate policies, don't be surprised it will enter terminal decline with a chronic moral crisis, and outrageous abuse of the rights of the decent, honest citizen.

Les..sorry to hear your nephew's story but it doesn't surprise me one bit..it seems that nothing has changed for the good since the Fiona Pilkington and daughter horrific case in 2007 in Leicestershire ( please google & read it) .. I am living in Thailand more by default then design..came across here for 6 months in 2019 and stayed through the ..emic and never returned. I miss the UK that I grew up and worked in where I was a copper but the stories I hear and read now make me pleased I stayed in Thailand..doubt now if I'll ever return except maybe for a visit..big maybe! A friend was here on holiday with his wife a couple of months ago..told me what it's like now..horrible.He's looking forward to retiring to either Thailand or the Phillipines in a couple of years.. Phillipines because they have been there several times and like the country and the reciprocal pension agreement with the UK but when I explained to them your workaround made them think it could be Thailand... The Justice system is truly broken..read last week that Coiln Pitchfork is to be released again..he's a double child murderer and rapist..what the f**k! he should have been given a whole of life sentence..but he'll be walking the streets again. Mate I despair. The health service is a postcode lottery. Lucky if you can get a GP appointment.. The list of failures goes on and on but like you say crime is out of control...the Police have lost it and people such as your nephew have to suffer their appalling inadequacy. A graduate can now join the police and in 3 months be working in counter terrorism.. don't make me laugh.You needed a good 5 to 10 years policing experience before being considered for such a role. I could go on and on but think I've made my point. So sad to see the country I grew up in has gone to hell in a handcart.. Take care mate..

Your nephew, you, me... in certain parts of the uk, the threat of violence is always there. It's simply a broken country. J.G. Ballard talks about this in his marvellous 2007 South Bank Show interview - Or Martin Amis 2014 'This is England'. I think you will enjoy those 🙂

Do you think Portugal and Spain better options?

Well done to nephew for sticking up for himself police totally useless

I retired in December 2014 and moved to Germany to live next to my only brother. My 3 sisters still live there but they are quite happy. They all live in very nice areas. Only one lives in London and she lives in a very upmarket area. I live in a village in a tourist area near the sea and its 99.9% German. The only things i miss are M&S and a good butchers and the Pies i used to get from a special pie shop. Its 90% pork in the butchers here. If you want a joint of beef or a whole chicken or Duck you have to order it. Joints of lamb, Guinea fowl or game forget it.

Thanks for the video. My wife and I currently live in the usa. We are here until her medical treatment for cancer are completed. I watched your video and I agree with you 100%, not just about GB but also the usa. I heard my parents says the same thing about the problems with "The youth" and thought, "Old people".... now that I am "Old" I see their perspective. Honestly I watched the shit show unfolding 30 years back. It's not going to get better, only worse. You and others that see the demise of civility and have options are lucky to leave to find tranquility elsewhere. Those that cannot will suffer until there is a significant shift in society. Sadly, that day is but a dream

love that you showed us what a mercedes looks like :)

I myself have had issues throughout my life, never diagnosed in any way, but I know i'm different and people can tell i'm different, I also have a really high IQ, which causes a lot of problems for me, especially in the workplace. I prefer to be alone, because it's f**king exhausting trying to have a conversation with most people. I pretty much stopped going out once I reached my 30's, I buy everything online, go shopping once a week, go out cycling or walks locally, but I stay away from the town. Out of town attractions like national trust and English heritage, museums, anything away from town centres is fine. It can get dangerous for me because my brain is always doing 200mph, I don't always see danger as it's unfolding, I struggle with tone of voice, the facial expressions etc and when people make nasty comments I don't always realise it until hours later and then I get angry about it after the fact. These people are not clever, they're just repeating one liners they heard from someone else, because one liners are like bait, you can't respond to them in the same length of time, and usually if you do try, they'll interrupt, you'll get angry and then you end up looking like the aggressor. This also applies to passive aggressive acts, like someone bumps into you causing you to spill your drink all over yourself, nobody saw that act but they absolutely will see your reaction and you will look like the bad guy if you do. You could play them at their own game, but I my brain isn't wired that way, I don't walk around dreaming up ways to annoy people. The body cam was a good idea, the rest was not, you really have to think about the law before you start arming yourself to the teeth. Once you start carrying weapons, even for self defense, the law is not on your side. Your nephew has listen to some bad advice and like me he probably doesn't quite realise whats going on until later, he's then gotten angry after the fact and gone seeking revenge, something i've had to stop myself doing soooooo many times in my life.

Totally agree

Interesting comments, i lived in both affluent areas and rough areas in the south of England, its typically the same over the decades as they passed, from my teen years in the 70s to my days in the early part of this century, dominated by alcohol abuse and drugs, especially on a Friday night. When i remarried in 2013, i wanted to do better and live better, so we immigrated to Cyprus. Best decision i ever made as i ended up still in the EU, healthier, happier and most certainly safer. We moved in 2014, i now speak the language, and im currently awaiting my final Cypriot cards for full citizenship, which i will get in October. I also have a UK passport, so i can visit my kids and grandkids again, do i miss England? Nope, I'm often asked that question and i simply say, why? give me a reason.

Thanks Les. Without losing something, winning isn't so great. We have lost a country of birth, but we have gained a life that is infinitely better. Like you, I will never return to Britain. My British passport expires next year. I will not bother to renew it (dual nationality). I detest almost everything Britain (and the other nations of the ‘five eyes) has become.

We left the UK years ago because we could see this coming , would never return to UK.

Great video, but however I'm sure that if you moved to Liverpool, Merseyside you would never want to leave, because people who want to leave the UK seem to change their mind when they move there because they think its the best city in the world???? The crime is not too high in Liverpool but i personally think its a horrible, run down depressing city to live in. Any one heard about the obsession with this city?

I agree and can relate, I have got asperger's autism, and there are some really nasty people out there especially when you go towards London, completely agree and might think about leaving soon. Cheers mate 🙂👍🏾

It's a disgrace Les! When you don't have proper law enforcement and laws that protect the law abiding citizens. Then it will turn to anarchy.

The Government were partying under the nose of the police and they didn't see it 😂 😎

In E.U the rape is 5 to 15 years behind bars 😂 some criminals are eligible for parole in less than 5 years.. Murder and torture is maximum 25 years, with some exceptions Polland Holland and France 🇫🇷...it's a pitty but the bitter truth what about there les? The peaceful people are protected ? I know they have stricter laws

Could nt agree more Les - it wont be to long before we will be living in Thailand - my wife is Thai -might see you one day Bud

don't blame u, UK gone down hill..... can't wait till I leave xx vee

A pub got robbed in eston, and while it was getting Robbed with the fire door wide open a police van drove past it twice and stopped outside the fire door and still drove off

That's why I prefer to stay in Malta for the rest of my life, I felt more safer in that place than back at home in the UK. I did ask the staff if they would hire me at the marine park and they said they would, though due to laws and regulations about working in Malta is going to make it second to none.

On holiday last year in Cornwall in a very nice caravan park, with my family, my grandson whose 6 and autistic, had lots of noisy fun running around always accompanied by his dad, but the amount of pompus comments made about him by other guests, mainly retired was shocking, don't just blame the young or foreign people, these where all white and middle class, ignorance is universal and disgusting.

I live in London, and I think it's the best city in the world. If you paid me, I wouldn't leave. But no denying the rest of the country is turning to sh*t.

In the UK nothing good is rewarded, everything bad is rewarded.

Which part of the UK are you from? Was your nephew living in the same area when he was attack? I'm so sorry your nephew has had to put up with so much for so long..

FARB spray is only to be used to identify a person who has committed a criminal act. As for the baton, sounds like the police let him off lightly. Most shopping centres have a no recording/photography policy. There is nothing stopping him wearing the camera on the street.

Very sad indeed. He should not be living through this trauma as an autistic person. He should be getting help from his surroundings to build his confidence.

Much as I sympathise with any victim of crime, wherever they live, I suspect that the real reason why you're not going back is the lifestyle you enjoy here in Thailand. Hope for more Thai related content Les. 👍

I am truly sorry that this man is right. What the Hell has happened to my country.

Please come back we miss you so much a lot it’s not the same without you so don’t leave it to long

The day England was England has gone its a hell-hole i just go back to UK just to see my grandchildren after a few days i cant wait to get back to Thailand. You can see civil unrest in UK yet with this corrupt Tory government. very sad to hear about this dreadful thing with your nephew

Sadly the UK 🇬🇧 is lost for many reasons. Left in 07 and haven’t looked back. And it’s accelerated in self destruction since then. A certain Mr E Powell may have been right.

Government corruption and incompetence is ruining the U.K. I can see many people leaving in the next few years, with the Tories remaining in power.

You are so right there too may i say.

We sold up in the 'YUK' 20 years ago and relocated to Cyprus for good, and still living the dream ! With 300+ days of sunshine a year, and never suffer with stress or depression like we always did in the 'YUK'. And were really sick of being taxed to death and being ripped off for everything. From a happy 'UK' tax exile ! Thailand is a good place to live as well.😎😃

Hi I'm James I'm originally from Southend on sea but have moved to the west midlands I suffer with adhd and autism too I use to get bullied in Southend a lot by gangs of youths when I was 15-16 it was so bad even my family was getting bad things done to them too my mothers house was burnt down as a group of lads petrol bombed our house I told the police the names of the gang that burnt down our house and they got put in a youth prison but that didn't end there people called me a grass for telling the police I got stabbed it was really bad so we moved away now I live in a town called Brownhills Walsall in the west midlands and my life has been better now I'm now 40 years old I'm married to an amazing woman who I've been with for 15 years now I'm very happy but sadly 2015 I lost my mother to cancer which hit me hard it still dose even in 2024 but I know my mother knows I'm safe now living the dream as they say so if your nephew needs a friend tell him ill be his friend ❤❤

Hi Les being a new Zealander and I'm looking at spending some of my retirement in Thailand part of the year but that won't be for a few years I have friend also a kiwi he has a few dollars from his kiwi saver but is primary source of income will be his super he is 65. and monthly his income is 2000 nzd about 43 000 baht he's not a big drinker has a few cold beers at home. and likes fishing the beach. Outdoor s he's not a whoremonger but of course he's a red blooded male he doesn't want to live in Pattaya but somewhere in Rayong or bang Saray is it possible for him to stay in Thailand on that amount he wants insurance and he has money of course to fly back home if need be and he will have money to purchase a small motorcycle he doesn't smoke also is s pretty healthy what are your thoughts also he can eat thai food just once in a while he would like a steak or a Sunday roast cheers ❤😊 🍻 Auckland New Zealand 🙏

Today I am flying back from pathos Cypruss having been here for 2 week with my partner I am absoluteley dreading it🙁 The anxiaty is kicking in all ready 😢 this year I am looking to sell my house and look at my options abroad I absoluteley hate the u.k its a horrible depressing place to live unless you are super rich and live in a descent area !

I am 43 and I am autistic. I have lived in the UK all my life born and bred. Every day I wish I could leave. I have always said there is no way I would want to raise a family in the UK. I aspire to eventually sell up and move away. There is no reason why I want to stay here. Apart from the frequent bad weather, I don't feel safe here. I am always on edge and had to be put on anti-depressants. It seems most people that work, work hard for a pittance and then get taxed harder so there is no incentive to try and better yourself. The living conditions for most people are poor. The people are vile and rude and maybe that is because no one is happy here. The UK is regarded as the worst country to bring kids up in, in the developed world after the US. No wonder the decent people are leaving. The Government don't know what they are doing and are so corrupt and clueless. The open door immigration policy made the situation a million times worse. I firmly believe by the end of this decade, the UK will be a 3rd world country. It's pretty bad when in London especially, teenagers are getting stabbed to death. I'm so glad I never had kids. The UK is a horrible stressful place to exist. I really can't wait to get out.

Police are not doing proper police work in England or the Usa these days.Thailand has a bit of a police state but at least they protect the poor as well as the rich.

Uk has spent 10 x more money on arguing about planning permission to build a tunnel under the Thames than it cost india put a craft in the moon last year

I return to the shitehole 2-3 times a year; overpriced; lack of social controls and policing. No thanks!

Sad but very true Les, sorry to hear that your nephew has had such an unhappy life because of these wasters. Sadly many countries in the west are similar, laws seem to be stacked against the vulnerable and decent hardworking people, the thugs have all the rights... AND THEY KNOW THE SYSTEM. Hope life improves for your nephew. Les as you say you are living the dream in Thailand and long may it continue. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪 🙏🙏.

Agree with the state of our country But if we all ran away we have surrendered. It's all over Europe mate. Boils my piss to see what's happening to our country.!!

LES...what is wrong is right Today...sick system sick government...respect gone for ever TOO MANY FAT CATS AT THE TOP

It’s been on my mind for months

Well done mr and nice to hear that he’s more happy there your son, England With leadership no do nothing about corruption is no good for English people, remember first Ukraine 🇺🇦 then Israel 🇮🇱, English is your Nation leadership of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Never say never Les!

Very sad how the vulnerable get targeted. Sorry to hear about your nephew Les. Tell your nephew to get a little legal advice. From my understanding of the law he can legally wear his camera in any public place. You are full allowed by law to video or take photograph's of anything your eyes can see from a public area. Being in a privately own space such as a shopping mall would be restricted but in publicly owned spaces he has no issues. It does not matter if for example that group of yobs did not want him to film them he has the right do do so & no copper can make him stop. For example say these yobs were in there own front garden of a house they owned if he was on the public pathway outside their home he has the right to film or take photographs of whatever his eyes can see. Some people may not like the fact he can but that does not stop his right to do it. Tell him not to be intimidated by the police who try to bend issues in their own favour without having the authority to do so & I suspect that because of your nephews condition he is an easy target for intimidation. The camera thing is absolutely not an issue if he is in public area, so if he feels safer using his body cam encourage him to do so. There are many examples on RU-vid were normal folk protect their rights to record & take photographs in public & they do audits of public spaces & public buildings often met with aggression by people & also police officers at times who actually do not have a full grasp on the law. It is funny how so many people are triggered when they see someone filming or taking photograph's in public. Often instead of getting on with their own day the can't stop themselves from asking why the person is filming & feel they have the right to know, which they simply don't have. Moving on from this a friend of mine was a quiet guy but could handle himself could box well & new some Ju-jitsu, he was brought up in a tough family & could not read or write but a very decent lad never looking for trouble & would go out of his way to help others.after training one night he & his younger sister called in a local chip shop for some food to eat on their way home, this chippy was in a problem area for thugs & two decided on this occasion to confront him insulting him about his clothes the glasses he wore & the way he was walking as he had an unusual walking stance after being in callipers as a child. They kicked the football they had at him very hard & continued with their aggressive actions, my friend stopped to tell them he did not want any trouble & they should not mess with him (these to lads both mid to late teens were well know bullies in the area but my friend did not know them from Adam) as he was talking to one of the lads he seen out the corner of his eye the other lad taking a swing at him. My friend immediately dropped his training bag blocked the lads punch hit the lad square on the chin & as the lad drop he wellied him in the head, the lad was out stone cold by the time he hit the floor, he then turned to face the other lad who had shot off like a ten bob rocket. My friend being let's say a little slow then walked into the chip shop with his young sister & got their chips to eat on the way home. The staff in the chip shop asked what all the commotion was & my friend just said oh some lads fighting. As he came out of the chip shop the lad he had hit was still on the floor & his not so brave mate was a few hundred yards away shouting you've killed him ( he hadn't though, the lad just had a broken jaw & was knocked out) cop's caught up with my friend & his sister & asked what had gone on almost befriending him as my friend tried to explain what had happen, one copper even said he's have done the same, anyway end result was my friend was taken into custody & charge they even has his sister walk home alone, end result my friend got nicked & had to serve 6 weeks in Walton nick Liverpool. In my opinion these thugs got exactly what the deserved & my friend should have got a medal not nick.

I left in 1970. Whenever I've gone back things seem to have gotten worse. Particularly north of the Trent. I remember Stkle and the five towns as a fairly bustling ares. last time I saw them they looked decyted. The UK hasn't moved on. Anything that has gone ahead there is in London and the South East. Ev n when you consider something as simple as high speed trains France, Italy and Spain have thousands of miles and the UK has 68 to the Chunnel

I didn't add the emogie! So who's is doing to what and why???

A large portion of English people are aggressive and malicious. The police are more focused on crimes regarding money and politics, as opposed to protecting the people.

Southeast/East Asia is more aligned to the values of politeness, respect for everyone, rules and peacefulness that the traditional British culture is based on. I am positive if your nephew came to Thailand and Southeast Asia in general he would be treated very well and absolutely adore everything from the food, friendly locals, beautiful beaches and scenery and culture.

❤❤❤western law is rubbish: shoplifting and crime are now out of control ❤❤❤.

Don't blame ya mate, UK is finished and it's only going to get worse

In UK you can commit murder and assuming you get caught you’d be sentenced to 12 years and be out in 6 years. Terrible. However, let’s say you get into an altercation with a Thai in Thailand do you think you’d be treated fair and get justice. I doubt it. That said, I’d rather be in Thailand than UK.

Im happy for you guys im thinking of doing the same ...i don't love Britain anymore...

i'm the same i want to move to Lithuania

Crime is the same here like any other country.

Yep so sad but the U.K. is in a bad Place. You worked hard , here for many years Les.....But never say never, remember that health issue. Dear Kev in Thailand , should have come back......just depends on your own situation, of course. Hope the lad gets a fair go

As for this bully problem. Send the video to social media instead of police . You might find some one for seemimgly no reason travels miles and miles out of there way and sorts it
