The UK experienced a period of hyperinflation and everyone is gaslighting the population about it. I have entirely switched to budget brands from the cheapest stores, and I am still spending more than I was a couple of years ago. When I saw a packet of chocolate biscuits in the supermarket for £2.90 it really hit home how crazy prices have become.
I'm 52 and English I can tell you it's never been easy for the working class the winters have always been too long and summer too short , the taxes have always been too high and I have often wondered why so many people would want to emigrate here. What has changed however for the worse is the violent crime rate that seems so common these days, and the rents and house prices have massively increased. I have started to think about one day leaving the UK but I honestly wouldn't know where to begin. I enjoyed your talk and your English is fine. God bless .
Fantastic breakdown of how the UK really is but the donuts in London simply won't accept this banging on that the average income in the UK is 50k to 60k!!! London is simply another country as far as iam concerned
Thanks. I never had a chance to live in London, but I used to work there tho, it seemed like people were working for the same income as in smaller towns and still had to pay double for the housing. It's mental
@@lifestylebypete London is a service oriented place if you can't offer services in terms of financial,legal,consultancy then you are in big trouble......just look at the political class all lawyers and former bankers, journalists no plumbers or builders in those ranks they will never really understand what the rest of us are going through
Your analysis of the UK are spot on . This used to be a high trust society however, mass immigration has brought all kinds of problems into the UK . Especially after Covid . My view is that it is only going to get worse . Sad to state .
@@stevenreilly3963 it is so good to see that English people can watch this video and still don't hate it. I was a bit sceptical about publishing this video due to how people may understand my point of view. God bless you Steven have a lovely day
what do you mean by manipulated? The weather, especially this last 2 years, was bad. and I don't mean like it was raining all the time or something, but simply 4 seasons clearly disappeared
@@lifestylebypete As per the comparison, if you decouple early enough you might have a chance. Leave the EU and immediately join BRICS. There is no other way.
We visited in 2017. Drove all over England and Scotland...had a blast. Saw all kinds of cool shit. Yet the people....were beat. Ruled. Subjected. Controlled. Sad. It was depressing even though we were having a great time. We want to return but it is not looking good....maybe I will just go back to Hawaii. Greetings from Northern California!
@@ananda_miaoyin England and Scotland have amazing Places to see, but apart from exploring, it's over. You have visited 2017 so just imagine that every year England gets worse and worse so you can guess how it is right now unfortunately. I'm so sad about it, because I have been here for 14 years, and had a plan to stay, but because of the last 5 years I cannot imagine what's coming for the UK. Good to see people from all over the world joining conversation. Have a lovely day
@@lifestylebypete England seems to be getting more raw and lawless with the increase in migration and lack of opportunity. The US is not much better in that respect but the only think that keeps a measure of peace is the fact that we are all armed. I felt a little naked walking the back streets of Battersea without my 9 but had no problems. I am a capable dude and England was different then.
it's called marxism - in it and under it you are ruled, you are controlled. This is what happens when you vote for the extreme-left, this is their vision, no one is allowed to be free and feel happy, except for the criminals and rapists that they protect and the pedos, the leftists are criminals and pedos themselves so it is only natural that they protect their own.
There is still plenty of money in the UK but only a tiny number of people have it. If that doesn't change then the UK will complete its transformation into Brazil or Russia. My family are all here, I am 38 so probably too old to bother moving and my mortgage is much cheaper than the rent would be for the same place, so I am lucky, but the UK really was such a lovely place 20 years ago and it is shocking when you see how far it has fallen since then.
Appreciate your video your accent and english is understandable. UK is a mess no where safe now. Im hoping more Polish move to my village to block the others coming.
Canada is similar. Just spent some time there. There are nice safe ares which feel better than London, but equally you wouldn't want to live in Vancouver, and cost of living is impossible. Wages are depressed, jobs are scarce, and housing is through the roof due to massive immigration since 2020 - seems like mostly from SE Asia.
It's a fact that so many British people who feel angry at conservative and labour governments didn't even bother to vote and give Reform or UKIP a chance
Reform is a business owned by a public school ex banker multi millionaire who threw a tantrum at the thought he would have to have a normal bank account like the plebs. You really think he gives a toss about the working classes? No, he just uses them for votes and would sell us to America at the first chance, it's no coincidence his constituency is one of the poorest with the poorest education.
@@CaldonianDude , thanks, man. What I'm trying to focus on this year is that there is never perfect and there is no such a thing as the perfect place . Everywhere is some good and some bad, the problem arises when there are more negatives and possitives
@@lifestylebypete It's going to take millions of pounds, the old police station, near bus station is supposed to be redeveloped and the old Debenhams store too but we have no decent shops anymore. I know it's like that everywhere but the council need to do more.
My wife is a foreign national, and we would not be able to live in the UK if we were starting again now. This is due to minimum salary requirements for a visa which are much higher minimum wage. My job when we got married was 21k and the requirement was only 18k.
Britain has never been a cheap place to live and the weather has always been shall we say .. unreliable lol, but i do agree our economy, cost of living crisis, housing etc has taken a dramatic turn for the worse maybe say since the "plan demic " but it has been in steady decline for decades. Mass uncontrolled immigration in recent years has also played a big part in changing this country's culture and draining its resources . Great Britain has changed and will never be its old self again I'm glad you see some good left in it as i do also , thanks for posting your video. Good luck for the future 🙂👍
Thanks for your video! Yes it’s very depressing I feel so sad about my country.people can’t afford to live what kind of a world are we living in when people have to sleep in their cars!!! And they want to tax us out of our cars!!!
Yes, you are definitely right every place has its own issues. It's just this crime which scares me a bit, and not because of me but because of my boy who would grow up here, I am just worried about a bad influence on him
Sorry to say but that's some cope right there. I've had the privilege of living in Northern Sweden between 2012-2022, and I can honestly say it's an entirely different and much more peaceful world there, even now. Sure, there are issues in Sweden also similar to UK (high crime, drugs, high benefit intake, gangs, unaffordable housing etc) but this is literally reserved to Southern cities in Sweden, specifically cities like Stockholm (to a lesser extent), Malmö and Gothenburg especially - basically cities where large groups of migrants have been dumped without a plan to integrate them, which has ended up with parallel societies which are simply incompatible with the host nation. I kid you not, for the most part in Northern Sweden, these problems simply don't exist anywhere near on the same scale as in the South to the point where I never saw any news or crime in the general Northern area.
@@ConfusingSecurity I don't experience any problems with drugs, gangs, unaffordable housing, immigrants where I live in the UK. You're assuming every part of the UK is the same.
It's not that bad. It's not that good. We are in a post-inflationary slowdown across much of Europe. It has come. And it will go. I have seen this cycle many times. In the meantime, practice gratitude for all the good in your lives in the past and present. And remain positive and hopeful for the future.
Oh, I am grateful for what I have, definitely. To be honest, the economy is just a side problem for me, I am more worried about crime, for me, it is the biggest problem in the UK
About to have a kid with my wife, I don't know if I want to raise them here. I think we will move to my wife's country, these things are not a regular occurrence there.
@LifestylebyPete That was a great video, thank you. Please could you make a video with your views on what options European migrants and Indigenous UK white people have regarding leaving hell situation? Perhaps European migrants would prefer to return to their home country, but where will the UK white nationals go?
@lifestylebypete I live in a city of 30,000 people. There are attacks there every week, including with knives. mostly foreign youth gangs and the city does nothing about it
This is what I think also. People complaining but every country has it's problems. I am living a good life here. Bet if you moved somewhere else after some time you would see all the cons.
You are not negative, you are seeing a cold harsh reality. This country is dying and is no longer a good place to live.
