The post you are reporting:
According to Page 10 of last saturdays Daily Mail, record numbers of ageing UK citizens want to leave the UK...soon as... That august body of dour demeanour, with personalities not prone to exageration, The Foreign Office, have found in their recent research that all us oldies are more than a tad fed up. Yes more than four in ten..not five but more than four, are considering moving abroad at this point. And the ones that cant go probably want to go.
What makes them all want to leave you ask?? Especially as so many foreigners want to come here!
Well they are fed up with freezing temperatures, lousy economoic conditions( older ones living on interest from their savings are crippled financially because of the low returns), soaring crime rates, asbo problems, and the high cost of living generally. Also many feel disenfranchised, a great shame this, the post war generation dont feel that they belong any more. The Identity of the nation is gone. It has become somewhere else.
So the older mom and dad generation, or to some grans and grandads, are no longer happy living here. Sad state of affairs.
Rick has just done the review of a rather grim sounding movie called HARRY BROWN on his movie page, starring Michael Caine. Its a film that depicts Broken Britain bigtime..its about a grandfather fighting back against the horrors, it may initially look like fiction but perhaps its all too real.
