I think there is a world of difference between what we think of the current state of politics to what we feel about our Country and fellow man.

U.K. is more than who has the keys to Number 10, look outside the Political Bubble.

We have beautiful countryside, beautiful beaches (not all are polluted) stunning architecture, magnificent Cities and swathes of culture.

We have freedom and safety that citizens in other Countries can only dream of.

I really like your answer! Home is where the heart is. Britain has so much going for it. Everything is cyclical so whatever anyone is feeling, it will get fixed or dealt with in time. Usually.

Life here in the USA has been puzzling, problematic, now dangerous… in the sense that we’re on the precipice of authoritarian rule - fascism! Who knows where it will end up in November.

I was very pleased with the outcome of your election. Congratulations to those in support of Labour! I hope we have a similar result - a complete repudiation of Republicanism!

Whenever I return from a holiday I revel in the wonderful greenness of our countryside.
