GOD NO, ARE YOU INSANE MAN?!

Shit weather, all year. We've had literally a week of decent sun this year

Expensive as fuck. Petrol, beer, cigarettes are extortionate. We also get taxed on EVERYTHING. The cost of living and running a car is diabolical unless of course you are rich?

We are about to hit a major reccesion. Unemployment going through the roof at present

All our big cities are "multicultural" meaning you will feel a minority among the hordes of blacks, asians, eastern europeans etc. We are the most politically correct country in the world.

Take my advice and stay where you are. At least the sun is shining and you having Arnold running things where you live

I'd check it out on a short holiday before you really committed to anything.

You'd be able to experience the weather and prices for yourself, along with the people of Britain.

I live just outside Birmingham, and I guess it's not too bad, though it is getting worse in terms of crime and general cunts of all colours and ages running around.

It sucks. Everyone is a cunt and speaks with a silly thick accent.

I live in the North East. About 10 miles from Middlesbrough and it's OK. I live in a quiet area, most of the people are friendly, but it's just boring you know? Unless you're planning to move with the family or some friends of something, you probably wouldn't like it.

Stay away from cities. The suburbs are where it's at.

Seriously, white niggers (chavs) are fucking everywhere. It's the most irritating cultural phenomenon I've ever experienced. They'll find the fact that you're American a novelty and harass the hell out of you.

Fuck it, just move to the Scottish highlands. Beautiful.

No, we just complain about political correctness more than any country in the world.

Let's face it guys, for the last few centuries we've been a nation of whiners.

The weather is overcast and wet. Even in summer. That's fine for me, but as a Californian you'll hate it. The food's nothing to write home about, and neither are the people. There are a lot of racists in the UK who hate foreigners. They want to block all immigration, and might not take to you all that well.

There is no right to privacy, CCTV is ripe, parents show no responsibility for their children, and prisoners are treated better than pensioners. You cannot criticise anyone's practices or beliefs (except those of the indigenous population), and you have to respect everyone's human rights, and not matter how backwards or stupid their actions are, you are not allowed to voice your opinions or the PC crowd will shut you up.

Taxes are terrible, expecially on petrol. The slight consolation is that the price you see on the shelf in a shop is the price you end up paying (unlike the US where they don't tell you the full amount including tax until you get to the checkout).

It's very multicultural, but not in a good way. Basically you have to walk on eggshells whenver you discuss different groups. Many people from other cultures are not well integrated. They dislike the English as much as the English dislike them, the only diifference being that the PC crowd is on their side.

Christains are not allowed to wear crosses at work in some places, but Muslims can wear head-dresses. There was a bank that had to stop using a piggy bank logo in case it was offensive to Jews or Muslims.

There are speed cameras everywhere, as well as many useless signs telling you how to live your life.

The economy is on the brink of recession.

Take my word for it, you will not like the UK. As for Ireland, which is also in your pic, they are slightly less openly racist to foreigners. There's a bit of antagonism between them and the migrant workers, but I think they'd be okay with an American. Their economy is slowing as well, but it's not as bad. Basically, they're a few years behing the UK (in a good way). They haven't caught up with us justy yet, and have managed to stave off the shitty elements of our society for a bit longer.

tl;dr UK is a shithole, Rep. of Ireland is slightly less of a shithole.

Calm down lads, you're making it sounds like the whole of the UK is a wank-nest.

OP, moving is drastic, try going to somewhere like London for a week or two.
>> Anonymous
>>51562
I'd say that London isn't representative of the UK as a whole.

After all, it's divided into foreigners and people who are pissed off at all the foreigners.

Better to hit one of the smaller cities or towns to find out what it's really like here. Shit's expensive in London anyway.

I'm sorry OP, the UK is in a bad place right now for reasons previously mentioned. Heres some facts for you:
582,000 immigrants arrived to the UK in 2004 and
360,000 mostly native Brits left the UK.

It's only got worse since.

Some citys are at breaking point and having racial clashes. Property is unaffordable for first time buyers due to mass immigration, the underclass has been ghettoised...

1/4 of all our newly trained doctors and educators paid for by the state leave the UK after graduating. Its similar for engineers.(At least all my mates are leaving as soon as they graduate, as am I)

This is no longer Britain, we cannot even speak out for being branded racist or unPC, which is worse than being a pedophile these days.

The country is going to explode within a few decades tops.

Still, I strongly recommend coming to visit and finding out for yourself. Scotland is still nice in the rural areas.

The uk is a wankfest unless you can afford to live in the country but theres fuck all to do round there. Dont come alll the bad stuff you here is true except for the teeth thing and even thats getting worse as you have to sell a kidney to even begin to afford basic dental care

Taken in London.

I am one of the dreaded Eastern Europeans, went there for a short vacation. Loved it, shit was so cash.
People were extremely polite, there were smiling faces in the streets, and it must have been that sole week of sunny weather someone mentioned above.
Also, PLEASE MIND THE GAP

Actually I think all the stereotypes are FALSE except for the teeth thing.

Also, don't listen to these whiny faggots. Just go somewhere scenic and pleasant like the Highlands.

Well Ireland has it's ups and downs. It suffers from some of the problems of UK and a few homegrown bits and pieces.

The main thing about Ireland is it's divided into Dublin and everywhere else. Most of the other cities are small and don't get enough attention or love from the government. Everywhere else is just fields of cows and sheep or just fields.

Also the weather is even wetter the further west you go.

Don't even think about it OP. The UK is going down the shitter and everyone with any sense is jumping ship before it's too late.

I live in Aberdeen and we have the same problems here. A lot of Eastern and Third World immigrants have come in the last 10 years, and if you look at the ethnic make-up of the schoolkids these days you can see things are going to get much worse. Many of the immigrant kids don't even speak English by the time they go to school, so you can imagine how education is suffering. My brother has to deal with Asian (read: Paki) criminal gangs in the place he works. The worst thing though is neds (Scottish chavs) are the majority of the native population here.

If you live in a nice area though and watch out for neds it's not so bad. The middle class oil business people tend to live in the towns outside the city, which have good schools, scenery and golf.

After living in that place for ten years, I advice somewhere else...

T€he weather is very depressing after a while...

People are not friendly as in some other countries (I'd advice Melbourne, Australia)

I am 19 years old, traveled to many coutnries ov er my short time alive and have spent 10 years of it in the U.K. as a forigner from the age of 7.

Out of all... Australia is probably a choice to look into...

As a britfag I agree 100% with every britfag slagging off the UK in this thread.

I will, however, note that some rural areas are very pleasant to live in, but with the overpopulation they won't last for much longer.

Do not move here. I spent a month in California and fell in love with the place.

OP unless you happen to be considerably rich, you will not be able to afford a house in the UK in an decent area. Inner cities are pretty much ethnic hell holes. Immigration has reached dire proportions (one in four babies born in the UK is a foreigner) The cost of living is crippling also.

Do yourself a favour and stay in the States. Its no coincidence that hundreds of thousands of Brits are bailing out every single year. This country has gone to the dogs and it is getting worse
