Everyone knows the standard of living in the UK is terrible.
A couple used to be able to afford two kids and a home on one income. People weren’t permanently stressed.
Now, families can struggle on two salaries. Energy bills are the highest in the world. House prices are crazy. A modest home is beyond the budget of many.
People wait to have kids until they can afford it - and that day gets further away. Many will never have a child.
In the US or in pretty much any other country life would be easier. Salaries go further, bills and houses are cheaper. Things work. You can see a doctor.
My heart breaks for the British people. They have been betrayed by successive greedy, shortsighted, foolish governments. Wages have been driven down, and house prices inflated, by uncontrolled immigration.
Many younger people now look to escape abroad to have any kind of future.
It shouldn’t be like this.
@lufthansa hallo, my flight on 13th March from FRA to LHR was cancelled due to pilot strike. The alternative would result in 4+hours. I wrote to Lufthansa via online form asking for a refund ( no one available by phone from 11 -13th march) and have heard nothing. Pls. Investigate
