First thing I notice when I go back is the dreaded queueing. Last time I was there I was accused, quite loudly, of taking somebody's place in a queue. There were two of us and I had the temerity to stand next to the lady instead of behind her.
Took me 6 months to reajust back to UK life after living and working in Thailand for 8 years and still not really settled back home or enjoy it back here. However work and aging parents prevent me from jumping back on a plane.
Dan, you are a deep thinker and totally correct. For those wishing to look a bit closer and question a bit more it is evident freedom of speech and diversity of thought is disappearing in the U.K. Stay where you are 👍, you are in the right place.
18 years in Vietnam. Been back to Australia about 8 times. Every time I go back, I hate it more. Its amazing how controlled people are, and standing on the outside looking in, it is obvious. With the new CBDC coming in, I'm happy to be in a developing country that will take a lot longer to be rid of fiat cash. Yep, we will never be equal.
I am in Nam too, and from Australia ... and agree with what you say 100% ... could never live amongst so many socialist-brainwashed sheep like we now have back home
I agree with a lot of what you say, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I did in fact look up the data on the efficacy of car seats and found this: "Compared with seat belts, child restraints, when not seriously misused were associated with a 28% reduction in risk for death in children aged 2 through 6 years after adjusting for seating position, vehicle type, model year, driver and passenger ages, and driver survival status." Seems irresponsible to not use one in this day and age, irrespective of location/country.
@@sundemon8313 I heard the comparison. The problem is it's completely wrong and misleading. Wrong, because people dying on a train doesn't tell you anything unless you're controlling for a variety of factors like the actual cause of death and overall mortality rate of train use. Misleading, because car seats are an incredibly good idea as shown by studies on the matter.
Do you live in the UK? Your attitude says "Yes", but maybe I am wrong. I encourage you to live in South-East Asia for a while. I think Dan's point is that you don't realise how choked you are -- by the endless laws, and rules, that are to be followed in the West -- until you have lived in S.E. Asia, where there are maybe 90% less laws and rules. Free yourself from a "Nanny State" state of mind! You will love it!
Morrissey, Arthur Scargil, Tony Benn, Dennis Skinner, Jeremy Corbin, Dare to question in the UK and you would get the same treatment as these guys, demonised . Dare to question in Thailand and it’s prison minimum, I flit between both countries both have good points and both have very bad points
The UK is finished..
100% agree

@scottbriggs7584 It's ironic that we live in a so-called socialist country, yet Australia seems to be worse. Haha

Did you miss the train comparison Dan was making?

@@DarkWhisper07 Not wrong or misleading. Nobody is denying the safety of car seats. Try watching one more time, you will eventually get it.
@@sundemon8313try opening a book on statistics, and you might eventually get it
