I’ve been saying this for over a decade.

The parallels between that film and the UK as it currently is are harrowing.

I always joked I was going live in a house like Michael Kanes character, only to end up doing it.

A connected rural hide away, where we can weather the UK’s rapid decay and decline.

The way the film depicts the treatment of immigrants was what always got me, I would joke (half) just wait till climate change makes southern Europe too hot to live in…

I hate being right!

A nice idea, if it weren't for the fact that the tax man can still get to you.

Meanwhile Southern Europe (especially Spain and Portugal) is complaining about all the UK immigrants.
