Just curious how spread out we are. I’m up in West Yorkshire myself.

Germany, now living in South East England. Not a fan, to be honest with you. I’ll have to stay a bit longer but I don’t see a future here. Housing, cost of living, healthcare, blatant government corruption (or, as it’s called here, “sleaze”, I don’t know why people aren’t calling it out for what it is), an out-of-control Met, systematic neglect of reports of domestic violence and the regular news of women who had reported it, got ignored and then killed by their abusive partners… The list goes on. I really love this country, the countryside here is stunning (especially in the south in the summer), people are so friendly, I have really enjoyed living here, despite lockdowns and the questionable food. But it’s just too much that’s going wrong to stay here long-term, sadly
A lot of that seems to be a London problem rather than a UK problem, but we’ll not discuss the P word here.
I don’t live in London. What’s the P word?
In UKCasual, discussion of p*litics isn’t allowed.
Ah gotcha. Will refrain from doing so
I thought the Met police looked after London?
