Oh dear. You would think they would be happy now they have moved to a nicer place. It may be a 'reaction' to homesickness - keep telling yourself how shit it all is 'back home' and you'll make yourself feel better.

If he's a qualified engineer, he'll know that one of the responsibilities of an Engineer under the ICE code of Conduct is to not talk shit about stuff you're not competent to discuss.
Not something I could ever be accused of, obviously.

There's little worse than know-it-all expats going on about what's wrong with Britain.

I don't know what cancel culture means. Cancelling seems to straightforward and unequivocal to constitute a culture. It sounds to me like a form of abuse of a group, like 'wokerati'. Are the 'cancel culture' people the students who 'no platform' people the don't want speaking at their college? I don't agree with them. Or are they something else? Is it simply yet another term of abuse of lefties by Daily Mail readers?

It is not just ‘rightwing bollocks’ - it is just as much a tool of the left as it is the right - in the specific context of my post, it has been described as the new McCarthyism - where free speech and Liberty is curtailed all too easily - where support is removed for public figures because of their views - journalists being sacked for supposedly anti-Semitic cartoons, Palestinian speakers banned or shamed for protesting against the war in Gaza - cancel culture is when the court of public opinion ( usually the majority) demands not so much the silencing of opinions but the people that hold them. ‘Cancel culture’ is the co-conspirator of the echo chamber.

However, cancel culture was just one aspect of my post - the general point being that social media makes it very hard for potential voters to find unbiased information upon which they can formulate independent POVs for all the reasons I stated.
