it always gets me, being a british person living abroad, how people always assume that it's only britain that has stupid laws, and how everything would be better if you lived somewhere else.. the grasn't isnt greener on the other side, I can tell you from experience, not to knock where I live now, but it's swings and roundabouts, there are benefits & drawbacks to any place..

you think britain is a police state? well when you move house in britain are you required by law to register your new address to the police/local authority? thought not, but you do in pretty much every other country in europe..
you have a law where it's a criminal offence to "insult the president"? no, thought not, but that's the law here in Poland..

just a couple of examples, I just think it's a case of same shit different place to be honest..
I mean by all means, go for it, move to another country, I mean, I've benefitted from my exile, but by no means think it's a quick fix cure all solutions.. people have problems everywhere
