Nope, while some things really annoy me about the country, I'm happy enough here for the moment.

Plus I have no money to make any kind move.

Same topic - no need for two threads on it.

When the Titanic hits the iceberg and the lifeboats are being lowered, take the hint.

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

Left three years ago as well. Now that I actually want to go back home there seems little point as very few jobs in my profession and my mates keep telling me not to bother as they're having trouble keeping/finding jobs.

Left three years ago and I'm very sorry I ever came back. Once my college course is over I'll be done and dusted with this God forsaken place.

I think it's time for the government to introduce a leaving tax of €500 per person.

It's actually one of the least crowded contries in the world.
Off to Scotland soon myself. They never had much of an economy too worry about.
