I envy you having escaped - perhaps it is my age but this country is just so full of itself, Brexit imho is the saddest thing that has happened in my lifetime, if not for me then for my children and grandchildren.
Covid 19 and our response to it, their have been some bits where we are head and shoulders better than any other country - 80% payments etc are fantastic, but PPE and the late response, we are miles behind other countries.
Even and I need to really choose my words carefully here, the VE celebrations were just a little bit too much how great we are relative to the rest of the world - we didn't win the war, we were on the winning side and we were instrumental in being on the winning side with Radar and Bletchley along with the huge personal sacrifices made but we weren't alone and wouldn't have won on our own imho but the subject is sacrosanct and even perceived criticism is not welcome
I do envy you and all other ex pats Sombrero and I worry a lot for my children/grandchildrens future
