I think we all have pride in being British, but pride of Britain..... no. For so long the 'do gooders' have stripped all sense from the country, everything dumbed down because we are not allowed to do this or do that, or we might hurt someone if we say this or that. Political correctness has killed the thinking person and restricted the way we think and act. Everyone is so fed up with immigration and the lies every successive government tells us. So easy for illegal immigrants to make a life here, but so hard for us legitimate couples to get a piece of paper to let our families be with us. Spending time living in other countries you always look back with rose tinted glasses, but to be honest, i feel freer living in the Philippines. I can make my own mind up and live how I want. England will always be home but for the few things I do like, there are too many in the Philippines that I like more.
