My hope is never to get to the giving up stage. That is wishful thinking as few folks have goldilocks deaths.
Oh, I thought it was the Sec of Homeland Security.
Waitā¦Goldilocks died?

This sounds about right.
They are instead flocking to Canada, Australia, NZ, and the US.

For many doctors it still comes down to where they can make the most money. That is the US.

They might only have six months to live if itās autumn and they canāt afford to heat their house.
ETA: ninjaās by 3-4 daysā¦
Apparently, Matt Lauer now lives in his farm in NZ.
The first 12 months of Labour have really not gone as well as people expected.
Labour support has collapsed behind Reform (god help the UK if those charlatans get voted into office).
Expected or hoped? What did they expect after 14 years of Conservative rule?
Article is pay walled but it seems like the prior ruling party left a lot of cleaning up to do.
Funny. Thatās about how Iād have expected it to go. Still better than Jeremy Corbyn
Problem is they havenāt really cleaned up anything.
They have made lots of promises but their actual tax and spend actions have accelerated the previous decline.
The UK has stopped being a serious country.
Case in point:
Welfare spending is completely out of control in the UK and they couldnāt push through Ā£5bn in cuts with a massive majority in Parliament.
These are not serious people. Its back to fantasy level economics.
And this is why they are mostly a protest party.
Nobody is going to take them seriously when they do stuff like this.
The Brits have their own equivalent to āBig Ballsā?
I recently helped a friend take his cat to the vet to die. He was broken up, in part because heās been suicidal his entire life, and felt like a hypocrite killing his cat instead of himself.
Anyway, I argued that we put our pets to sleep, because that is how practically every single human wishes they could die. And if we fail to show ourselves the same mercy, itās simply because weāre bad at it.

I still feel guilty about having my dog put down. He was blind, half deaf, sleeping most of the day, and no longer eating well. The day we took him was his 1st good day in a week. Heād been having them less and less often for about 3-4 months. Holding him for the injections was not fun, but I couldnāt NOT do it.

Been telling the pensioners in the UK this for the last five years
They never seem to listen. They still think the magic money tree exists.
Canāt seem to digest the fact that the only thing paying for their pensions is the aggregate productivity of the working taxpayers.
Once that crashes (which it has due to very high marginal tax rates on the productive taxpayers) its game over for the public finances due to demographics and debt service costs.
Some non-doms are deserting the UK, of course.
