re: Been in London the last 5 days and I’ve noticed a few things

Some right, some wrong in this thread.

London is an extremely diverse yet awesome city where service still matters and people generally get along.

This wasn’t always the case. Working class Brits fought long and hard against for many years but finally seemingly gave up around 10 yrs ago.

For all the “diversity is our strength” crap spewed by libs in the US, it really kind of does work here with many people from different parts of the world blending together (eastern Europe, Middle East, India, etc.), BUT, importantly, they all try to assimilate into the British culture. In the US, somehow being American is not a goal.

The lack of freedom of speech is a deal breaker for me.

But, the lack of 2nd amendment is not unique to the UK. Go ANYWHERE in Western Europe and you will get the same response from conservatives and libs alike…they just do not understand our gun laws. Not saying if right or wrong, but, no one understands so not just Londoners.

No homeless problem in the UK.

And, for those that say Paris > London, you guys haven’t been in recent years. Paris is now one of the worst large cities in the world. Migrants NOT assimilating and will rob you, migrants living on sidewalks, trash and rubbish EVERYWHERE, extremely overcrowded, etc.

Finally, food in London is exceptional…lunch on Thursday at La Petit Beefbar in Chelsea and dinner on Thursday night at Novikov…awesome food day. London now has 71 Michelin star restaurants. If you can’t find a good place to dine, sorry but you’re missing out.

Oh yeah, Trump since this is PT. They never were really a Trump loving country during his time in office (MAGA, NATO, etc). But, they do wish for him back…mostly because of current inflation, high interest rates, etc. “Trump would have never let this happen.”
