Strange how dyslexics can always spell dyslexic.

To respond seriously, don't bother going. All that will happen is that you will find equivalent issues to whine about wherever you go, and on top of these will be heaped all the additional whines about how they don't do some things as well as back home.

There is no such place as perfection, but whatever the Daily Mail might like to tell you, you already live in one of the best countries to live in. To paraphrase, if you can't make it here, you won't make it anywhere.

Canada or America.

No one I know who went there ever came back. Be prepared for more extreme seasonal weather than in the UK.

Australia.

Some stayed, some came back. Be warned that having a degree is regarded as essential by many employers there, far more than in the UK apparently.


Or try a different part of the UK.

hehe I think that unfortunately, dyslexia has become an excuse for many who cannot spell or are a bit thick, and it is much to the detriment of true sufferers. A certain Uni I attended for a short while was selling 'Dyslexia tests' for £50 a few years back, it's amazing how many young academics turned out to be 'dyslexic' and were then entitled to an extra hour on exams rolleyes

As to the original post, the UK is not the only country to have suffered from a lefty-government, most countries are suffering from a poor education system and financial fk ups. My friend is a lecturer at the Sorbonne in Paris and she admits it herself that the education standards are dumbing down over there too and that she is needing to give French lessons BEFORE she tries teaching them English. You might be interested in Australia but I believe Labour are in power over there too so it'll no doubt slide into a st heap, the USA will not be interested in you unless you have cash and Canada is a tough place to enter too unless you meet their needs.

You should have left in 2007 when the £ was relatively strong. Might as well ride out this sh8t or just milk the system for what it's worth along with every other f8ker. Hope this helps.
