Aside from the political issues, Thailand is one of the safest countries, I lived 5 years there, thai people are very kind and humble.

It certainly gives that initial impression but scratch beneath the surface and you'll see that it really isn't. I guess it depends on the metric you use for safety but it has over 4 times the murder rate of the UK for example and much higher than its neighbouring countries, 10 times more likely to die in a car accident etc.

England,most of Europe & the west is broken beyond repair.

There is hardly an institution that works efficiently.

The benefits system pays fit people for not working and doesn’t require them to do anything in return....this has bred generations of feckless,entitled degenerates.

Law and the justice system is largely accepting of many types of crime,which encourages more crime and a viscous circle of decline.

The immigration policy has been inappropriate for 50 years and the protection of our small island from (mainly) young men wearing designer trainers,leather jackets using mobile phones, landing on a 12 mile stretch of sand in small rubber boats having been tracked by drones,Coast guards and the Royal Navy,is almost beyond belief.

The UK population,Excluding thousands of illegals,many of whom are ‘ghosts’ having disappeared, is bigger than that of South Africa whose land mass is three times larger !!

Britain is a broken,lawless,dirty,over populated and disintegrating country.....and its live !!

A full on, all-encompassing Gammon Manifesto. You could have put a pinapple ring on this post and it wouldn't have stood out.

Not sure population density on its own makes much difference. We're the 51st most densely populated country in the world. Those above us are a mixture ranging from basket cases through to doing alright thank you. Similarly those around us are a mixed bag too.

Rather than focusing on that i'd have thought we'd be better off as a population on trying to get out of the habit of voting in governments that clearly don't represent the interests of the majority of the population. To do this we'd need to get better at a few things like ignoring the torrent of factually incorrect shit and propaganda that gets spewed out by the likes of the Daily Mail and large chunks of the rest of our media that are controlled by a tiny coterie of very rich people.

As you say things have well and truly gone to the dogs, so I reckon us taking a different approach is worth a try.
