Why are you living in the UK?

[Liability]

I see a number of posts saying UK is a failed state and its end of the nation and its doomed and all and just generally not saying anything good or positive in general - in fact any chance to slate it and its happy days.

So question - Why dont these people go to another country than? Why are you still here? If you know so much about this economy and the fact its doomed go elsewhere?

I like the squirrels. Also winding up little englanders on internet forums is very amusing.

Because I was born here and would rather live here than anywhere else.

And it's fun winding up childish uneducated morons who post pointless messages on Internet forums all day because they've nothing better to do.

We British have a fundamental duty to whine when we are not happy. We are not all that likely to take to arms like the Greeks, or strike much en masse like the French, so we whine.

absolutely nothing wrong with justified whining, its a means of holding the establishment to account (in our own rather pathetic pacifist way).

You're quite right. Although the ex-wife may disagree.

Just so you know, if I could I would. They are the only thing keeping me here...

Oh the irony in that statement.

I came here to shack up with my girlfriend. She needs (psychologically) to work and to be good at what she does. She doesn't feel able to do that in another country, much as she loves German and the German-speaking countries.

So I'm not being hypocritical: I really would still be living somewhere else if I could.
