...try that is so poor I was only educated up until I was 9 because my parents couldn’t afford to keep me in school so we moved to the U.K. and by being educated and being able to get a good salary allowed me to move here,so never forget where you came from and by giving you a good life where you are today.

I don't know where you came from originally but glad you enjoyed the "free education and healthcare " that brits paid into all their working lives.

Are new British Citizens a bit like reformed smokers.......a bit holier than thou?Times have changed and Brits can only stay for 90 days and that’s very unlikely to change.Plenty of other tourists to fill the gap possibly left by a few Brits.

Whatever you think, nothing in this life is free and if that is your belief then you are deluded....
