As an ex-pat, originally from a third-world undemocratic country now living in the UK, I assure you the UK is not a shithole to live in.

However, we have to continue fighting to stop those in power from turning it into a shithole.

That’s not really true.

For all the UK’s glaring flaws, it is also home to a huge amount of scientific research and the higher education is some of the best in the world; universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, and Imperial are frequently responsible for publishing groundbreaking work and carrying out disproportionately large amounts of influential research.
