Think about the UKโs reputation abroad. Lack of safe routes for refugees, migrants unwelcome, calamity of Brexit, inaction in Palestine (bearing in mind Balfour Declaration) and pensioners being arrested. Itโs so sad and the legacy of empire doesnโt help. (Criticism is highest form of patriotism)

The empire mentality is still here Adil. We're a fucked up mish-mash of bigoted cunts; not helped by celebrity culture and the MSM.

You forgot decimation of trans rights

The reputation is so bad that potential immigrants who are middle or upper class now pass on the UK as they see it is broken. That should raise eye brows when people from poorer countries see the UK as not much better than their own country.

Yeah, but. Abroad is just full of foreigners. Who cares what they think?

All the promises I grew up with are so empty.

don't forget neglecting public services, coercively controlling, exploiting & abusing their own population, to the benefit of the #BillionaireClass, in defence of their #SystemOfGreed.

The UK is taking action in Palestine. It is aiding and abetting the war crimes of Netanyahu&Co

Isnt it time we start to call Starmer, Lammy, JD Vance, Trump, Merz, Von Der Leyen, #BBCNews #SkyNews #LbcNews genocide collaborators?
These refuse to abide by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948.

Canada ๐จ๐ฆโs the same. We have a reputation of being nice peace keepers and Mark Carney has just been caught sending weapons to Israel after he claimed we had an arms embargo. They are all shameless liars.

Itโs madness. My boss is a Muslim woman who was my co worker. We joked โsame god different branchโ I encouraged her to go for the manager job and now she tells me what to do. In reality away from the bloody racism we are all one people. And theyโd all do well to recognise it

I used to dream of moving to the UK. Now I won't go near it.

You missed- total ban on trans people in public spaces not because they did anything at it all-but because one billionaire bigot and her goblins astroturfed the living shit out of an advice site for mothers while another billionaire bigot fostered the same hate in every major newspaper for years

Especially considering what they did in Africa and India.

Kind of morbidly fascinating how the British and American empires are collapsing at the same time in the same ways.

Everybody's heard of the Balfour Declaration, but the McMahon letters preceded, and promised the land to the Arabs first.

A friend of mine moved here from Nigeria for a better life for her daughter she arrived 2 years ago and a few months back she shocked me by announcing that she was moving to Texas because England is no longer the best place for them. To me that said it all America has gained a fine nurse

The legacy of Empire explains this situation!

Post-war USA gave GB the cover to improve their image without ever changing their colonial mindset ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
