 As much as I love London, when I start a family, we are not living here

 I studied and worked in the UK for a long time, and every year I see things getting worse, crime is out of control, & weird knife culture. I have no plans to come back; I will probably go to the UAE or Qatar. They really seem like interesting places.

 Yeahh I once had a 11 year old kid threaten to stab me at my old work because I refused to let him steal a phone 🥹 I’d rather get stabbed then go against my principles but also felt sorry for him - his parents sent him to do it. It’s definitely worse than it used to be. Not as bad as some places in the world by any means but kinda bad for London 🥹

Yeah they look rather interesting 💯💯🧐
