because I'm emglish and this is home.
but if I was 21 again, I'd be off to NZ, or Canada, or Ireland. Somewhere with a bit of space. This bloody country has 60 million inhabitants in an area suited to maybe 30 million, and we expect that to rise 10% soon from inward migration , which is lunatic.
we have the same population as france, for instance, in a land mass may 25% of the size of France (guesstimate...).
That is not a swipe at immigrants. It's about numbers, irrepsective of who they are.
And within that limited landmass we have the most restricted access to countryside in europe.
in most countries - including scotland - you are free to walk or ride your bike bascially anywhere except other peoples' gardens. Here we allow fat bastard landlords to hog the best bits for themselves.
