Are you suggesting that we should celebrate white anglo saxons as the true indigenous population of the British Isles? The BBC and Guardian would have a fit..  Nowhere did I suggest, or imply that Canada celebrates the "true indigenous population", but the various native peoples are celebrated as part of Canadian culture, as are people of French origin, Germans, English, Irish and in some areas people speak Scottish Gaelic; We in this country rightly celebrate many aspects of the white, British, Christian culture and history. In Liecester for example, people of all backgrounds join in the Diwali festival, and most British Asians participate to some extent in Christmas, and why not. do you think we should celebrate the indigenous population of the UK? |

Many Americans have moved to Mexico where they can lead quite privileged lives with money which couldn't last anywhere in the US. The same is true with any poorer country. Of course living like that doesn't suit everybody. You are a kind of colonial overlord and the locals may pretend to like you as long as you have money but in reality they hate you.

You should really go to Italy, especially Florence and some of the other ancient towns and cities. It's like walking through an art gallery full of sculptures. I find it uplifting. Italians have a very good eye for what looks good and that is why they designed a lot of our famous British cars. Also it is very Catholic, so they don't do woke shit and believe in traditional family values. I've been friends with Italians most of my life. You just need to get how they think, as it is a bit weird. Think Italian opera and you'd be about right. They are very dramatic. Food is exceptional and they do the best ice cream as well, in about 50 million different flavours. I have no doubt you're right, but tbh I have no great desire to visit Italy, in fact much to Mrs R's angst I'm perfectly relaxed about never leaving this country again. I love Italy. Rome, Florence, and Verona are great cities. For longer breaks Lake Garda, Lake Como and the Italian Riviera are fantastic places. The food and people are great, unlike France! |

do you think we should celebrate the indigenous population of the UK? The Blairites refused to ratify the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples unless it specifically stated that it did not apply to the United Kingdom. |

The only country I know of where you will be treated as a Brit better than a local is ironically in China. Even though without Chinese citizenship you are treated as having less rights officially, e.g. if you wanted to set up a firm in China and a whole load of financial can and cant do's, it turns out that because the MSM constantly tell us Brits China is evil, China only sees the Brits that don't get fooled by the propaganda and go there because they like the Chinese. So this MSM propaganda actually functions in reverse, because the Chinese only see the few that go there for positive reasons,they are highly sort after. In large corporations, if you are someone with a sophisticated knowledge of science you will be head hunted. The same person in Britain would be unlikely to find a job because these types of job rarely exist and the corporations recruit the woke and so on. So all the qualities you have that would make you unappealing to a woke UK corporation are the reverse in China. They like the traditional Brits. I know you might find this hard to believe, but looking at a Chinese shopping centre the other day, they had built all these traditional British phone boxes. That the classic Sir Giles Gilbert Scott design.

I'd have thought it difficult to emigrate in one's seventies, no? I have posted it before, we are going to the West of Ireland where my wife is originally from peace and quite a better quality of life for the years we have left, no sirens wailing 24/7 or planes overhead, no rush hour, clean air, the Atlantic on our doorstep and mountains behind us |

I love France and have always found the people very hospitable and kind. i enjoyed my time working there but maybe that id because from day one i asked my co workers to help me improve my french …. I liked Belgium better, but i was working with Flemish Belgians who don't like the Belgian French. |
