    My own 48 years of lived experience in the UK is not remotely like that. Honestly, the hate train for the UK makes me wonder if my own pre-conceptions about life in the US, formed through the British media and platforms like this, is as way off the mark as you guys genuinely are in regard to what it’s actually like living here.

    Don’t get me wrong, I think that most of our governments from Thatcher onwards have been various of flavours of dreadful, but from my perspective the US political landscape is the rock bottom-end to a path we’re essentially locked into as the billionaire backed psueodo-facist parties gain increasing foothold.
