I felt quite positive about the trajectory of the country, but this Government are doing their best to make a complete mess of things.

Sad this guy has to keep reverting back to the English countryside to have positive things to say about socialism England. Where are the British people?

This is a bit demoralizing as a German language learner. Sounds like the language is essentially useless unless you want to become a citizen or obtain certain jobs. That’s unfortunate…

Where do you exactly live in Germany?

Home is where the heart is. Sadly people arent willing to be honest about where the country has gone wrong in the past several decades, that's the first step to doing something about it. Unfortunately with the crazy artificial population growth we are having much of the English countryside may also disappear.

I agree about the uk countryside as Kazuo Ishiguro says in the remains of the day: "The English landscape at its finest-such as I saw this morning-possesses a quality that the landscapes of other nations, however more superficially dramatic, inevitably fail to possess. It is, I believe, a quality that will mark out the English landscape to any objective observer as the most deeply satisfying in the world, and this quality is probably best summed up by the term 'greatness.' … And yet what precisely is this greatness? … I would say that it is the very lack of obvious drama or spectacle that sets the beauty of our land apart. What is pertinent is the calmness of that beauty, its sense of restraint. It is as though the land knows of its own beauty, of its own greatness, and feels no need to shout it."

I am kinda flattered. Those are some kind words you say there about my people. Greetings from Bavaria. I realy hope you enjoy your stay in germany.

Britain is destroyed. Ex Muslims ran away from muslim country only to find Muslims country in Europe: England

Yes. A dump. I lived in Germany for 17 years, apparently that too is declining. Still a tonne better than UK. How did it come to this?

I left the UK in 2005. I felt that the W⚓️ Tony Bliar was giving the country away to line his own pockets. Turns out I was right. Best move I made

if england was a person it would be a man in his mid 80's lying in a hospital bed with france and germany lying in the beds beside him all the doctor's and nurses would be indian chinese muslim black african and a myriad of other countries caring for them in there last few years

I thoroughly enjoy your most erudite speaking manner and excellent explanations of things many might not have even thought about. Bravo!

Welcome back to the islamic Republic

The rich have got richer, the poor have got poorer. Where I live in post-industrial north-west England I cannot remember such a lack of hope - even in the 1980s people thought the Labour Party would come along and help them. Not anymore. 14 years of austerity means the fabric of our country has been damaged and there's little sign of it being fixed. I really worry that the vacuum left by politicians who don't address this decay is being exploited by Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson - neither are popular but their anti-immigration message cuts through in working-class areas when people feel so ignored angry. But thankfully we still have our beautiful, magical countryside!

Lovely video, thanks. I quote Thomas Wolfe: "You can't go home again."

No matter where I roam I will return to my English Rose For no bonds Can ever tempt me from she I've sailed the seven seas Flown the whole blue sky I've returned with haste To where my love does lie Miss you so much ✨ 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Germany might still be in better condition than England. But you actually describe the rather near German future. The coming elections will bring forth a government like the ones we had the last 25 years. That means nothing will change to the better.

Were you wearing blinkers ? The most obvious change is mass immigration and its effects on our demographic and the general degradation that came with it.

I met a couple the other day who had been out of uk for 12 years. In London. She said it felt like being in a foreign country.

Perhaps think about how Germany was a different (and better) place 20 years ago. German cleanliness, efficiency and punctuality are now history. Germany used to be very safe, not any more. German department stores filing for bankruptcy.. German pensioners rummaging through bins looking for empty cans for the deposit just to make ends meet. it’s not exactly rosy in Germany. German arrogance is as strong as ever though

Canadian here. I spent a short stop-over in Essex on my way to Italy years ago. It looked very much like the Vancouver area of British Columbia. It was very beautiful.

If you are a foreigner working in Germany, you are regarded as a GUEST Worker . Simple as that .

The majority of the British people are being beaten into submission on a daily basis from the tories and now 2 tier Keir and his communist crew. It's only a matter of time before the countryside is also jam packed with 3rd world scum and every farm is owned by a globalist corporation. Unfortunately, due to the class system and the so called "monarchy" we don't stand a chance, because if you criticise or point out any of the failings from these criminals in charge you'll get a knock at the door from your local constabulary, because that's "hate speech". We're truly doomed.

cutting benefits means repairing society

Basically, the propaganda about the UK's failures may reduce the flow of immigrants. So, exaggerating problems works in England's favor.

Previous PM Rishi Sunak recently said on his LinkedIn site the following: "This is the best country in the world and that is thanks entirely to you, the British people, the true source of all our achievements, our strengths, and our greatness."

Good to see Britain getting what they deserve after centuries of Brutal colonial rule. The Irish in the north of Ireland remember this. The lackies in the bootlicking free state apparently don't though.

Australians, too - they're everywhere!

What about all the foreign nationals overruning both countries and the plummeting birthrates? That cause for notice?

Even Shakespeare's village has drug dealers. Mass immigration has been fatal for the UK, an economic burden that it cannot afford to carry now the UK is nearly 2 trillion in debt. The infrastructure cannot cope with mass immigration because our little Isles were not built for it. Money laundering is off the charts, corrupt politicians is off the charts. Many should be in prison for treason. Thatcher knew that the EU plan was to make the poor, poorer and the rich, richer. One of the reasons that we were adamant to leave the EU and its unelected leadership. Another reason why the people's of Europe have turned right in the majority. In the UK, we have witnessed a lack of investment, in our people and infrastructure. Thatcher was a great investor in our own people, the EU globalists in her party were determined to take her down. Although we do have her to thank for holding on to our sterling currency. If we look back through history, every time the peasants/working class start to prosper and get ahead, another bout of asset stripping happens. A lot of our farmers are working class, now the commies plan to take their farms from them leaving us without food security. JRM shared that the reason tenant farmers bought land after WW2 is because they were dedicated to ensure that our Isles would never be wholly dependent on foreign nations for our food. The whole of Europe is on the brink of collapse unless mass deportations become a reality.

I am very happy living in the UK. I wouldn't swap my life or home for anywhere. I live in beautiful countryside, in a lovely village with fantastic neighbours. We have quick access to a thriving, diverse city and beautiful beaches. Our house prices are lower up North, less crowding. Great educational establishments, lots of cultural events and opportunities. Sure there are problems, but there are problems everywhere. Also a lot of problems seem to stem from unrealistic expectations and people choosing unsustainable lifestyles.

I am Italian and I have been living in England for 25 years. While I still think living in England has lots of benefits at the same time I noticed a decline of the country, or at least a slowing down of the growth compared to when I arrived and the years immediately after that. The cost of living is one of the main issues the people in the country is facing. The massive growth of the public debt has had surely an impact of investments and structural and ifrastructural modernisation. Foreign investments have been impacted by wrong political choices and all this has reduced competitiveness, opportunities and salary while at the same time costs like energy and services are now more expensive. In the town where I live 50% of shops and small business have closed, it is so sad because walking in the town center now is like walking in a ghost city. Having said that, one thing I learn from the British people is that they learn from their mistakes and they will fix it, I noticed most recently that there is awareness of certain mistakes and there is willingness to fix them, it will take years but the country will find the way. What can I say about the countryside, I totally agree, it is beautiful, I have always admired the respect the British people have for it and in general for the environment. I wish I could live in a typical village but it is too expensive and maybe too late for me.

Of course brexit made everything worse,and it's a chronic disease only to get worse.

Every time I visit the uk I have a great time, I left in 2014 and honestly struggle to think how I could have the same lifestyle in the uk as I have in Europe. We talk regularly about returning for many reasons but ultimately the uk has been progressively getting worse since 2008. I’m always hopeful that there will be a turning point as I would agree that I have wonderful memories about much of the country and the people I meet, but the general day to day life we would struggle with.

I emigrated from the UK in 2015. Save yourself.

The people are miserable, but the nature is great. What could possibly be the problem?

I am from Luton, but moved to Ireland and have been here 8 years. When I go back to English towns, I feel very sad. A dump.

The earth is beautiful, humans are stupid.

Your videos often strike a chord with me. We are both from the midlands, although you are to the south of Birmingham and me to the north, I have also left, now living in France for 2 years. I agree with your diagnosis about the decline of the UK that it is mostly short-sightedness and lack of investment, however you are neglecting the changing population. What has driven us both to leave? My assessment is that we are the type of people to get up and do something about it, seek the answer further afield, because growing up around Birmingham you already have very little belonging, so what's limiting you from having little belonging elsewhere? The population it once was is no longer, those there now live by different values, and these values - once majority - become the new culture and push out the old. We are both examples of it and I know many others too.

Failing to address the elephant in the room. Mass immigration is the root problem of all the things you mentioned. Where does the investment and the opportunity go?

It’s sadly a shit hole run by middle managers who are paid well above what they should normally be. They care about saying the right things, rather than working hard and doing the right thing, however difficult they may be.

One of the beautiful country in the world❤

Ooooof This is going well with the usual political divisions. Sad really.

This country in the mid 2000s was still wonderful in the main. Then came the Tories (just, and propped up by a weak Liberal bunch) in 2010. By 2015 the place was rotten and since then has become far far worse due to incompetence, greedy wealth makers and idiots like Johnson and Truss . They fooked the place after Breakshit and were hapless in Covid. Don't blame this new Government ... yet, because if you do you are part of the problem. Finally, to the whingers on here, stop bitching. You could live in Ukraine or Gaza or other places which really are hell on Earth. It's you that is the problem and the chancers like Frage and worse are grabbing you by the knackers just like the Fascists did in Europe in the 30s. .
