yes Wilbur...the socialist indigenous replacement experiment is right on plan...boosted by recent events...i can see exodus of Brits heading to Spain in the future...my friends in London had to disguise their suitcases in bin liners to go holiday so not broadcasting the fact...they are moving out...

... soon...

No matter the motives, if they like being in the EU then Spain is as good a place to be as any. If they are anti EU and want nothing to do with it, or the common market or an open immigration stance, then the England is certainly the place to stay. 

Ps. Are there really any socialists left in England?

What a bunch of whining anti British people populate some of these threads... The BBC and Sky create news, they do not report it. The UK is not full of people breaking lockdowns or not respecting each other. I live between Spain and the UK, and i see no difference in the attitudes or values. Yes a few will always break the rules, thats why rules are imposed, lets not forget 650,000 were fined in Spain for breaches of lockdown. On Saturday when the pubs open, the reporters will be tasked to find disorder, and breaches and then blame the government for allowing businesses to trade, but if they did not they would criticise the government for businesses going bust and job losses. I was once told if you only see problems then you are part of the problem.

We were given tickets to go to an open air concert on Sunday evening. It was cancelled due to the lack of demand for tickets  because the pubs are to reopen on Friday. A similar concert was held recently and was sold out. People were going mad to get tickets but not anymore! The call of the pint has won, hands down. Isn’t that so sad? Surely people could go on the binge another day.

The entire year has been a disaster, but most of the societal issues have been coming due to the divisive nature of the Brexit campaign.  I can't see how it can be repaired.  As for the virus, it will pass and life will go on - indeed Scotland and Ireland have reported 0 deaths on many ...

...occasions the past few weeks. England still has much to do in that respect.

But with regards to Britain... It is done I'm afraid. Whatever was in the past that folk hark back  to is never returning.

surely brexit will pass and life will go on also,

This Covid 19 doesn’t appear to be in a rush to disappear.  Many people have become complacent. Give people an inch and they’ll take a mile. 
If you want to stay safe, continue being sensible and steer clear of crowds. Keep your eyes and ears open and don’t allow yourself to be fooled into thinking you are safe. Until it is gone or we have a cure or a vaccine, we are still under attack.

Not sure it's even a 'younger generation "thing at all Grannyrose.

The recent riots in London and othe cities over BLM appeared to be older white males in their 40s and 50s. I accept NI has it's particular longstanding issues but historically the Police have not been even handed towards certain communities, which created a legacy if ill will and little respect....

...

Boris Johnston cares for no one but the wealthy. Be under no illusion about that. 

I think you’ve been watching something else on the news or you fail to believe what is actually happening, white males between the ages of 40 to 50 have been rioting, do you mean the veterans guarding our memorials because of mindless criminals who want to destroy them and hide our history.

These men have been peaceful but are called far right and racist by the far left gutter press. The only time I saw trouble by the white people as you put it was football hooligans but they were not riots.

The only rioting that’s gone on has been by the BLM and their followers, throwing bikes at horses injuring and attacking our police, the black community in London having their street parties and raves, again attacking the police committing criminal damage jumping on police vehicles absolutely disgraceful and how does the gutter press report it, The protests were mostly peaceful, well you tell the family of police officers that were violently attacked and injured during these mostly peaceful protests.

The gutter press in the UK need to report these incidents in an unbiased and truthful way instead of the divisive photoshopping and the telling of half truths because it suits their narrative. Maybe then you can see who was actually rioting.

There have been no fans at football since March, as such, they were hooligans, pure and simple and what sensible adult in their right mind leaves the house to 'guard staues' during a pandemic? Leave that nonsense to the police. 

Ps I don't watch or read English media. I prefer a more balanced view to my news.
