| His family are spread over 5 cities and our hometown, so his time was divided between London, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liverpool and our hometown. He also had business in Birmingham whilst he was there. His time was almost entirely spent talking to friends, family and business clients. I'd say that's quite an extensive experience to take his view from. | |

And would his opinion be the same had he spent the last 35 years living in Turin, Marseilles, Madrid, Athens, Frankfurt, Warsaw etc?
Or if the visits were to Edinburgh, Harrogate, York, Oxford, Cambridge?
I agree with a lot of the rhetoric about the UK and declining standards, benefit culture, crime and grime etc, but blanket statements ‘the UK is horrendous’ is just rubbish.
