I've got a friend trying to move from the United States to England to escape our current shit show, and I've been telling him that England tends to do what America does, just with a posh accent to give it an air of legitimacy.

If you think they do it with a posh accent you've not been to England lol

I'm mainly thinking of Tony Blair making the same case for invading Iraq that George W. Bush was, just with the accent.

I'm currently working out moving to Jamaica. Got a friend there to help, but he says it ain't all sunshine and cheap pot like the movies.

I'm not LGBT but I usually use that as a guideline of "is this a good place to be?"

And its not looking great.

Pick somewhere else.

At a certain time (around 2000) I'd count the number of women/men outside (like 20 to 40 year olds), very telling about the insecurity in a city.

Super simple and smart way to sort places that care about human rights. Thanks for sharing.

At this point, leaving England for America is the saner choice...

I mean unless you're brown, then ICE will just lock you away if you try

I don't know, we locked up an extremely white new Zealander for 3 weeks at the border recently...
