Yeah until you got home invaded by loads of illegal migrants, or a tyrannical despot like Starmer takes all your freedom away. But at least in the UK you can walk across the street and not get arrested for Jay walking. For now.
Regarding land unless there's a public footpath you can't just go anywhere, Scotland on the other hand has the right to roam so you can literally go anywhere you want and even camp anywhere, all that's asked is that you respect the land and respect land owners privacy.
Me from the UK. First came across jaywalking whilst i was in Florida in 97. A random car pulled over with 4 guys in it, started shouting at me as i crossed the road. i just froze as i thought it was gonna b a drive by shooting kind of. Didn’t know what they were on about. They then drove off, i realised i must’ve Jaywalked. Tbh I wasn’t gonna walk a mile to the nearest traffic lights to cross the road, when the other side of the road was about 20ft away. Stupid Americans 😂
In the UK, many of the foot paths across people's land are thousands of years old. Organisations like the Ramblers Association regularly hold walks on the less used paths to ensure the landowners can't go to the courts and ask for access across their land to be stopped through no use by the public 🙂
A minor (pun) correction on the drinking age You can legally in the UK drink alcohol from the age of 5. For the ages of 16 & 17 and accompanied by an adult, you can drink (but not buy) beer, wine or cider with a meal. You can legally buy alcohol from the ages of 18
My two year old grandson was experiencing breathing difficulties two Friday evenings ago. My daughter wasn't quite sure what to do, so I advised her to call the ambulance service. She did so. A fast response ambulance, with an advanced paramedic arrived about 20 minutes later (we're in a pretty rural area). He gave my grandson a very thorough examination and was able to give him immediate relief with some oral steroids. He then said that, in his opinion and to be on the safe side, he would order another ambulance to take him to the nearest accident and emergency department, so that a paediatrician could examine him. The second ambulance arrived with two paramedics. On the way to the hospital, my grandson took a turn for the worse and they proceeded on lights and sirens. My daughter told me just how frightened that made her. He was seen, examined, given more medication and an atomiser and inhaler to take home, with the instructions to phone the A&E department directly, if his condition didn't get better or worsened. Reassuringly, he is as right as rain now, but he'll be having ongoing checks at the local surgery. Cost of this intervention? £0.00 That, to my mind, is definitely an aspect of one of the freedoms we have here in the UK. There are problems with the NHS, it is true. However, the standard of care in an emergency or for people with potentially life-shortening or chronic illnesses (such as diabetes) and trauma is generally first class, as I know from people who have recounted their own experiences. There are waiting lists too for treatments, which need to be shortened. A commentator from the US made the point that there are a great many citizens in his country who don't even get on a waiting list, because they either have no insurance or because they're not covered by their insurer. Things have improved with the ACA (which, as 'Obamacare', has been vilified by the right) apparently, but . . . hasn't Trump vowed to get rid of it? In short, a 'freedom' I wouldn't change for anything.
You are mistaken if you think people do not litter in the UK, they do! Today, whilst walking my dogs I picked upon loads of paper litter, mostly because there was a gale blowing and litter was blasted from cars when the doors were opened! Winter there is little litter but summer when there are tourists, litter abounds.
Not only can you cross where you like on streets and roads in the UK but, if you do choose to use a pedestrian crossing with light signals, you can ignore the lights and just walk across if you think it's safe to do so. Motorists cannot just run you over if they think they have priority (but you will be severely honked if you cross dangerously and make vehicles slow down or stop). If you are part of a large group, motorists are sometimes considerate enough to halt to let the whole group cross.
And, private health insurance which sits 'on top' of the NHS is considerably cheaper than any private insurance in the US. I'd love to to have the UK system here in the US.
Sounds like you can walk freely on the owners land. You cannot. Public footpaths are signposted. If a designated public footpath runs through a farmers land, you must stay on the path.
If you bought private land the public footpath would be marked on your deeds. People are not free to wander as they fancy, excluding Scotland's right to roam, but GGL is not covering that here.
Agreed. My partner and I got yelled at for trespassing on ‘private’ land that we thought because it had a public footpath was open to the public. I believe this was near Ascot a few years ago. So I’m not sure what she’s saying or where in the UK she lives.
@@Narthbor1 GGL could be clearer in that it is on the walker to know where the footpath is and to keep to it. AS to GGL's location, she is in England, perhaps just a little bit out of London.
I'd bet if you challenged it and submitted a report to the Ramblers to have a look (as they will have the best knowledge of it), the yelling people are probably in the wrong @@Narthbor1

The key to financial stability is having the right investment suggestions for a diverse portfolio. Many investment failures and losses happen when you invest without proper guidance.
Having just had a short unplanned stay in hospital, I've have witnessed firsthand the chaos that the NHS is in. Some of the departments i saw were the equivalent to a war zone. I don't know how the staff cope? I'm not a big earner but I'd quite happily pay more from my salary to help fund our NHS. The NHS is on its knees 😢
Right, hear me out, I’m not one of them that think IMMIGRANTS ARE THE ROUTE OF ALL UKS PROBLEMS, but regarding the NHS do you not think it’s strange why they are so many immigrant doctors? And why the NHS is in the state that it is in? With the quality of doctors training in different countries then coming over here to use there practices, there’s so many things going wrong on operating tables recently I’ve noticed to people I know and know of… with the cuts to the NHS could these doctors just be another case of cheap labour, cheaper than a British doctor with high class education 🤷🏻♂️ something I’ve wondered for a while now, sorry for the paragraph haha
There are exceptions to the right to Roam laws even in Scotland. For example people don't have the right to walk through someone's front or back garden attached to their house. Industrial land and building sites aren't included, school grounds aren't included along with other exceptions. You just need to Google 'Scottish/English Freedom to Roam exceptions' and they'll give you lists of what isn't included in this.
A bit of clarity is needed for the footpaths and ability to walk This law mainly applies to big estates with aches of land, farms, historical properties, sometimes industrial estates. A normal house in a town is unlikely to have one going through their property. you might get one going down the side or at the back of your home and are more common out in less urban areas. When buying a property / land the seller legally must inform the buyer of any public pathways / rights of way.
I will put this in simple terms for you Neil America as the freedom too the UK as the freedom from When you understand the difference then you will understand why the UK is far better than America and far better quality of life
UK education fees are not simple and should not be compared to USA's. 1. Scottish students at a Scottish university, currently there is no tuition fees. 2. Tuition fees are covered by a tuition fee loan. 3. The tuition loan is supplied by a "government" loan company. 4. This loan does not count on any form of debt check and not used against any other form of loan. 5. You do not pay a single penny back until you earn other a certain threshold amount which is dependant on the level of degree and when you took out the loan. 6. because you need to be earning to start paying the repayments you do make are small compared to your salary that you will barely notice the small amount deducted. 7. these loans are eventually written off after 30 years regardless of how much if any that you have paid back and no financial black mark is incurred due to this write off. In short the tuition loan may seem nasty but to the person taking the loan they are one of the best forms of credit you can get. As I have just under £40k in debt from student finance from 2012, but due to very low yearly income I have only paid back around £600 which is due to postgraduate loans having a lower threshold to start repayments. I have no concerns over my student debt.
In the UK you do pay for healthcare, this is done through taxes on a monthly basis through your salary, also dentists, you still pay for dental treatment but it is subsidised through banding (pricing)but if you don’t work you pay for nothing and get everything medically! You can also have private insurance and queue jump 🤷🏻♀️👍🏴
Don’t be misled. You can’t just walk on anybody’s private property over here. The rule only applies to designated areas that have public footpaths running through them, and you are expected to stay on the path. Footpaths have been around for thousands of years, and people use them for access or pleasure. They usually provide a very scenic route to a picturesque location, beauty spots, and the like. Walking through beautiful countryside, and getting in touch with nature is therefore not restricted by changes in land ownership (usually farmland), and is open to all….but you cannot just walk around on anybody’s property.
Although it is QUITE different in Scotland as opposed to England and Wales! I love driving from London up to Scotland. There you have the 'Right to Roam' Act - which (as long as you don't abuse the rules), gives you much more free land, areas to walk and as long as you use 'common sense', don't litter, cause fire issues or similar... You are generally allowed to walk everywhere (with respect to the surroundings)!
@@StewedFishProductions I couldn’t agree more. Spent a lot of time in Scotland, and visited the Orkneys and the Outer Hebrides, as well as the Scottish mainland. Their Right to Roam is largely governed by the lay of the land, unfarmable landscapes, and general terrain, though that doesn’t account for the law adequately. However there are still restrictions; you couldn’t set your tent up in the back garden of someone’s house for example, and while I feel that you already know this (so I realise I’m teaching my Granny to suck eggs), I say this for our American friend that seems to think that all and sundry can just wander around your private property. Private property is exactly that wherever you live, and everywhere else is custodian.
@@StewedFishProductions P. S. Sorry for using your reply as a platform, and I agree with you completely and wholeheartedly. Hope you get chance to do more travelling 👍
America is one of the least free countries in the world WHY?, your work system is not for the employed ,but it's favourable to employers , capitalism means you are enslaved more so than other places especially the lower paid ,everything is profit run when life should not be that way ,the greed of the men at top is what keeps Americans to realise they live in a social system where socialism should be the way of evening people up financially .
I’ve had 2 heart attacks and cancer twice with all the treatments and follow ups that go with those things. Cost to me £0 The thing is that we don’t mind our taxes going to help others. Whereas from what I’ve seen from other videos I’ve watched is that in the American psyche they don’t feel they should have to pay for others. They are more self than caring for others. I hope that doesn’t come across as rude but that’s my interpretation of what I’ve seen and heard. If my tax money can save someone else’s life then that’s fine by me.
Polls have shown, for over 20 years, that the majority of the American public wants a not-for-profit healthcare system. The reason we do not have one is because the large insurance companies stuff campaign contributions (bribes) into the pockets of our congress. These bribes have been deemed legal by our Supreme Court. Out of 535 members of Congress, not one is fighting for public healthcare. That's why we don't have have a humane healthcare system.
The legal drinking age in the U.K. is FIVE it is not 18!! You only have to be 18 to buy alcohol. You can even drink at 16 in a restaurant or pub sat at a table have a meal. In a house you can drink at 5.
In the UK there generally isn’t a right to walk into residential gardens etc. There are loads of public footpaths on public land though and many on farmland and woodland. In Scotland there is the right to roam on countryside land, but again you can’t just walk up to people’s houses. There are these rights because so much land is owned by rich landlords who don’t do much with it and it’s felt that access to the countryside is a public good
If your insurance companies didn't increase the price, but increased the coverage to be for health,home contents and car insurance all in the 1 payment it would be closer to reasonable value 😅
The US has to use autosuggestion that it is the best and most free - otherwise there is the risk of people realising they've created a dystopia. (Here is a good illustration of why 'jaywalking' is a thing over there, its not the number of cars - its automakers victim-blaming incredibly successfully: ruclips.net/video/-AFn7MiJz_s/видео.html.)
We have a huge issue with the NHS here at the moment. I've been trying to get a Drs appointment for 3 weeks now, but there simply arent any slots. The overpopulation and under employment of the country has brought the NHS to it's knees. Too many people using the service and not enough people paying into it.
The UK government has been underfunding the NHS for years to create public dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction will then be used to dismantle the NHS and create a private for-profit system (like in the US) in its place. Then you'll experience how bad healthcare can truly be. There are tens of billions of pounds in profits that UK capitalists plan to extract by privatizing the NHS. Their plan is already underway.
It's not actually I'llegal to have a gun in the UK if you have a licence. Anyone can apply for a licence, most people cant be arsed but we can have them. After the 1996 Dunblane school shooting gun ownership was very restricted. It's a very common misconception that the British can't have guns. It's simply not true.
Dude.. you cant be sat in your garden having a familly day with swimimg pool out bbq on with just random strangers walking into your garden sitting down joining in. Lol she doesnt mean that ! Geezz
Health care isn't free in the UK. Everyone pays National Insurance, which is a percentage of their wages that gets taken out automatically. Calling it free is absurd.
The NHS is free at the point of use which is exactly when people need immediate help without having to sign a cheque or hand over a credit card first. It matters not a jot if you've been unemployed for 10 years and not paid taxes you still get the medical treatment you need.
No healthcare and public transport is not freedom. Ps you don’t need the ation at the end of transport! Almost as bad as the other word I heard on another video before this. Comfort, not comfortability
I don't know why America doesn't have a complete overhaul of their healthcare system and go with something like the British model . Maybe Trump can do something about this ! Way to go the 'Don' 🤟
I'm from the UK but judging from other video's I've watched I think it's around $10,000 to $40,000 in US to have a baby and they even charge you for skin on skin contact. So you have to pay to literally hold your own baby. Shocking!
@candice3559 yeah probably very common. What's more they only get an average of 2 weeks maternity leave before having to go back to work to pay the bill for having the baby. Then you tack on the cost of childcare so they can go back to work while leaving their newborn with someone else. America is a corporation not a country.
But you do though 😅 yes in front of the police maybe not, depends on the officer suppose, I’ve been sworn at by the police before, and I’ve sworn back, he didn’t fine me, or lock me up, he did however give me a court date for pissing in a dirt track road between two buildings in the dark 😂😂
I've yet to find an American that can tell me the freedoms that they think they have that I don't.
In the US you have freedom to own guns and in the UK we have freedom from guns. I know which I prefer.
Yeah until you got home invaded by loads of illegal migrants, or a tyrannical despot like Starmer takes all your freedom away. But at least in the UK you can walk across the street and not get arrested for Jay walking. For now.
Me too. British is best.
Not from knives unfortunately. 😢😢
@@nigelhamilton815but then neither does the USA.
TBF you can have guns in the uk, but you have to be registered to do so.
Regarding land unless there's a public footpath you can't just go anywhere, Scotland on the other hand has the right to roam so you can literally go anywhere you want and even camp anywhere, all that's asked is that you respect the land and respect land owners privacy.
"Jaywalking" - or as we say in the UK, "crossing the road".
I jaywalk in front of the police car
Admittedly we have jaywalking laws here in Australia but only in the main cities. Never heard anyone fined for it. I don’t think it’s policed.
Me from the UK. First came across jaywalking whilst i was in Florida in 97.

My two year old grandson was experiencing breathing difficulties two Friday evenings ago. My daughter wasn't quite sure what to do, so I advised her to call the ambulance service. She did so. A fast response ambulance, with an advanced paramedic arrived about 20 minutes later (we're in a pretty rural area). He gave my grandson a very thorough examination and was able to give him immediate relief with some oral steroids. He then said that, in his opinion and to be on the safe side, he would order another ambulance to take him to the nearest accident and emergency department, so that a paediatrician could examine him. The second ambulance arrived with two paramedics. On the way to the hospital, my grandson took a turn for the worse and they proceeded on lights and sirens. My daughter told me just how frightened that made her. He was seen, examined, given more medication and an atomiser and inhaler to take home, with the instructions to phone the A&E department directly, if his condition didn't get better or worsened. Reassuringly, he is as right as rain now, but he'll be having ongoing checks at the local surgery.
Cost of this intervention? £0.00
That, to my mind, is definitely an aspect of one of the freedoms we have here in the UK. There are problems with the NHS, it is true.

In short, a 'freedom' I wouldn't change for anything.
I have to agree with you there. My wife is a diabetic and the ongoing support she receives from our local diabetes clinic is brilliant.
Public footpaths are ancient routes that people have walked for thousands of years, you can't just walk through somebody's garden lol
My wife is having scoliosis surgery in the USA it would cost 100;000 to £250,000 in the U.K. it costs her nothing. No bill
My best wishes. Scoli surgery isn’t pretty.

If your insurance companies didn't increase the price, but increased the coverage to be for health,home contents and car insurance all in the 1 payment it would be closer to reasonable value 😅
The US has to use autosuggestion that it is the best and most free - otherwise there is the risk of people realising they've created a dystopia. (Here is a good illustration of why 'jaywalking' is a thing over there, its not the number of cars - its automakers victim-blaming incredibly successfully: ruclips.net/video/-AFn7MiJz_s/видео.html.)
Our trains are too expensive, some inter city is cheaper by plane.
If you buy a property with a 1000 year old footpath through it. You've got to have a little give.
We have a huge issue with the NHS here at the moment. I've been trying to get a Drs appointment for 3 weeks now, but there simply arent any slots.
The overpopulation and under employment of the country has brought the NHS to it's knees. Too many people using the service and not enough people paying into it.
The UK government has been underfunding the NHS for years to create public dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction will then be used to dismantle the NHS and create a private for-profit system (like in the US) in its place. Then you'll experience how bad healthcare can truly be.
There are tens of billions of pounds in profits that UK capitalists plan to extract by privatizing the NHS. Their plan is already underway.
It's not actually I'llegal to have a gun in the UK if you have a licence. Anyone can apply for a licence, most people cant be arsed but we can have them.
After the 1996 Dunblane school shooting gun ownership was very restricted.
It's a very common misconception that the British can't have guns. It's simply not true.
Food for thought does a J-Walking ticket infringe on freedom of choice?
Dude.. you cant be sat in your garden having a familly day with swimimg pool out bbq on with just random strangers walking into your garden sitting down joining in. Lol she doesnt mean that ! Geezz
Health care isn't free in the UK. Everyone pays National Insurance, which is a percentage of their wages that gets taken out automatically. Calling it free is absurd.
The NHS is free at the point of use which is exactly when people need immediate help without having to sign a cheque or hand over a credit card first. It matters not a jot if you've been unemployed for 10 years and not paid taxes you still get the medical treatment you need.
No healthcare and public transport is not freedom. Ps you don’t need the ation at the end of transport! Almost as bad as the other word I heard on another video before this. Comfort, not comfortability
Yes, we have freedom here, but don’t trample all over our grammar.
brit here who has lived in america and its crap
Yes I can imagine.
Like your posts but you do not need to pause every time just to repeat everything they say, spoils it
This!
You have no health insurance? What happens if you get ill?
You pay everything out of pocket. And there's always a mark-up for people w/o insurance.
I don't know why America doesn't have a complete overhaul of their healthcare system and go with something like the British model . Maybe Trump can do something about this ! Way to go the 'Don' 🤟
Yeah trump is going to fix everything. As long as you are a billionaire
😂😅😂😅
Because their health BUSINESS wouldn't make as much profit then, that's all they seem to care about.
Is your post satire?
So all your taxes gets wasted on illegal migrants health care . And you have to wait years for treatment.
Original Vid is 14mins long. That means, you've talked for longer than the original video. It got annoying.
Now that's a skill lol.
Do you in USA, have to pay to have a baby??
I'm from the UK but judging from other video's I've watched I think it's around $10,000 to $40,000 in US to have a baby and they even charge you for skin on skin contact. So you have to pay to literally hold your own baby. Shocking!
@sarahgreen653 that's outrageous!
@sarahgreen653 I wonder how common home births are over there...
@candice3559 yeah probably very common. What's more they only get an average of 2 weeks maternity leave before having to go back to work to pay the bill for having the baby. Then you tack on the cost of childcare so they can go back to work while leaving their newborn with someone else. America is a corporation not a country.
Not only that. They have to pay to hold their own baby after delivery. It's an extra 40 dollars on the bill.
We can't swear in public in the UK which is pathetic
But you do though 😅 yes in front of the police maybe not, depends on the officer suppose, I’ve been sworn at by the police before, and I’ve sworn back, he didn’t fine me, or lock me up, he did however give me a court date for pissing in a dirt track road between two buildings in the dark 😂😂
