RE: F**k England, I'm out.

in Reflections2 months ago

Coming at you live from Birmingham....

Its sad to see your beautifuul country turn to shite. I was born and raised here, but have travelled a lot of the world. Hong Kong is my home, but with whats happening with the CCP takeover the prospect of returning home has long died.

I know its the same for you...in fact...lots of people have fled England to places like Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam....you know the usual shelf choices.

Yet my friend there is no place safe in this world, with the looming Agenda 2030 and UN's 17 SDG bollox fucking up everything.

If you can get out of shithole China, then maybe look into someplace in the East of Europe, the Balkans. I hear property is still cheap there, people still value cash transactions, and forming a sanctuary there is still doable.

I would not recommend coming back to England, which is unfair for me to say as this is your home. It's just not a place you want to come back to. Even the beautiful south is being eroded with bollox.

Peace my friend!

Well in some way I'm glad you're backing me up on the 'England is shit' part lol, but as I've mentioned in other comments, I'm not really in a time of life where I can just up and leave to any random place. The choices are, unfortunately, China or England, for many reasons. I can go to England with the 100% intention of leaving again in a few years, but England has to be the drop off point to begin with.

After that, maybe some homogenous urban sprawl in Texas where I get to be shot in the desert for some reason.

Sounds a lot more fun than writing to my local council about the intrusive new wind farm in Kent or whatever XD

As for the HK situation, yeah I'm always keeping an eye on it and it is just... sad. But I have a friend there who used to be - USED TO BE - a total anglophile. And yet, now, living in HK under CCP rule, says she no longer desires to go to England because it sucks now.

That was the most truly depressing hit. Somebody so enamoured with a place to come out and say that while living under communist rule. Sigh.

Its a sad state of affairs in China and HK, infact most of that side is fucked. I often watch Laowhy88 and Serpenza on the Odysee platform and i am discongusted at what my home as become. I also catch up with HK news and also day to day happenings via Hong Kong's RTHK podcast "Free As The Wind".

I totally understand your mindset and maybe coming back to England for a spell is a good thing. Dust off. Re-caliberate. Reload. Re-engage. Look into countries to set roots in (for me, Thailand, Mexico, South America, even in the European Balkans - I've heard good things regarding real estate and the cash economy still going strong there)

Get outta that shit hole China man, them mainland Chinese are another breed of savages. I know its getting very dangerous there.

Anyway if you have time, this one's for you...a blog post on hope

May the spirit of magic be with you always my friend. If you ever come back to England, let me know. I'm looking at wild camping at the Yew Forest in Kent, so mayhaps we can meet up?

Well hey I married one of those savages so unless I'm a savage too, they're not all that way. In fact, her and her family are a better breed of human than anyone in my own family, including myself. They're kinder, harder working, more honest, intelligent and educated, and overall more wholesome. It's been hard for my brain to comprehend what it's like being in a functional, healthy family.

BUT, in the context of a HKer, I can definitely see your angle lol. Just be careful with serpentza and laowhy, they're not dishonest exactly (I still watch them too), but they're very doom-mongery. They only have the negative spin on everything. They try to be balanced by saying 'however we LOVE the people' but in the same breath say that they're primitive and dirty with awful culture and music.

Like I said, I still watch them, but I'm always careful to be aware; they can never say anything positive (not without saying 'but...') because positivity isn't their brand.

so mayhaps we can meet up?

Well, I don't even know what I'm doing next week, let alone several years from now XD but I will eventually need some friends to start things off from scratch heh

Hearin ya loud and clear.

Regarding the "savagery" I didn't mean that in a negative sense. I don't mean they are barbaric too, as I've been to China many times. I just meant they are....different lol. You know the score.

If you return here, you have a friend in me.

Just wanted to drop this on thy radar though, from the Guardian newspaper site https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/16/uk-facing-food-shortages-and-price-rises-after-extreme-weather

So if you return, please return with lots of potatoes lol.
