I am officially a permanent resident of the UK 🇬🇧 It wasn’t an easy road to get here. It took six years, four jobs, nearly £10k, and a few incredibly stressful months when I was laid off on a work visa in 2023 (0/10, would not recommend). But it has all been worth it. It’s very popular to be negative about the UK these days, but I think we forget how lucky we are to live here. Street food markets. Meal deals. A cup of tea to cure all your ails. History around every corner. The intellectual home of classical liberalism and Adam Smith. The beauty of Cornish beaches, Oxford’s colleges, Sussex’s villages, the Highland lochs, the moors of Yorkshire. The way the Thames looks when the sunset hits after London’s long summer evenings. From arriving on the Eurostar train in the height of Covid in September 2020 to now, it’s been a journey. I love it here, and I hope this helps those of you here to remember to love it too. ❤️

Further to my Brexit survey that showed 70% voted BREXIT has been bad for us. To add insult to injury it has recently come to light according to our PM that allegedly there was foreign intervention in the Brexit vote. What is not clear was the intervention distortion for or against Brexit. Either way if this is true then we least need to have another vote. The SME's have suffered enough.
