I note that you never wanted the Brits to take back anywhere, lol!
I don't blame you because our system is also wrong and skewed towards the whackos and nutjobs of the right.
It seems that half the world wants to go back to a past that was ruled by conservative crapheads and in our case to the days of empire when most of our own people were the cannon fodder of the rich lords and ladies anyhow.
At least from what you said, my plans to move to NYC next year away from the mad Little Englanders of Boris's idiots and Brexiteers seems the right thing to do, but only as long as to pick up my Sandra and us move to Mexico or Southrern Europe.
