I have been watching some stuff lately about people who are just checking out, building themselves camper vans and living in them. Its people of all ages and almost to a man they are saying they are sick of being exploited by mortgage companies, rent, utilities companies and countless other government and corporate officials all holding their hand out for a few quid…..so they are taking their ball and refusing to play anymore…..good for them I say. They don’t have the “Instagram” life that everyone is told they need, no Audi on the drive and 50inch flat screen (on credit) in return for living in hell. Poor by most measures but rich in every other regard. Its a trickle at the moment but what if it turned into a flood ?…..what if the people who built it all said “nah, you can’t have us anymore” Would there suddenly be an influx of builders, teachers, scientists, entrepreneurs, social reformers from the 3rd world to replace us ? How would the west work without westerners? So would we put up with less to have some semblance of a nice country fit to live in back again ?……..what I wonder are we willing to sacrifice ? 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Qbgrey 4,171 Posted August 9, 2024 Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 (edited) I do think we have got this :must have: lifestyle over here created by the government and banks giving cheap credit, before if you did nt have money you could nt have these expensive things. I’m in kos atm and we came across this nice beach bar with fancy sun beds, bird with big tits doing the dj, it was £10 a pint. I said to my mrs I wondered out of the 100 or so people here who actually had real wealth. Not fuking many I reckon.all about instagram photos. I think lots of buisiness people are leaving, I got a few mates moving away. I’m selling my place and not sure what to do, buy here or buy abroad and rent here.

mushroom 13,325 Posted August 10, 2024 Report Share Posted August 10, 2024 Let’s hope the authorities come down as hard on the fascist left/people of different history to the British people looters, sorry people with grievances protesting calmly in their own way! Kicking doors in is only going to escalate this imo. They need to start fixing the root cause and then the local and national issues people are facing. First thing to do is round up illegals, every boatload and ship them off to a desolate island in the Hebredies for example and leave them there with the bare minimum until they give up their country of origin. The Ozzies did it and it worked for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
