The current government seems determined to paint the NHS as failing in a pretty blatant attempt to privatise large chunks of it, the bastards.
I used to be pretty neutral towards the major parties, tending to look at what they did rather than what they said but quite frankly the conservatives can go and fuck themselves.
Yee, the proces is very simple. You can simply arrive and you have six months to look for work. Once you get a job you just need to register with the police (you make an appt a couple months in advance and then he visit takes 5 min) and get your tax card (same visit, takes another minute). AFAIK all EU citizens can do this, no special work visa required.
I've considered it a few times but there where and are reasons why for now I need to stay in the UK (til recently partner with health problems) and my mother is ill.
It's something at the back of my mind for one day though.
As someone who lives in America Lite (the UK) your policies on just about everything strike me as insanely reasonable.
I pretty much feel shame whenever I think about our last two governments.
