Chapter 9: Hey ho, hey ho, it's off to work we go 32:20

2y ago32:20

32:20

People from all over EU until recently were coming to the UK in their thousands to look for work. People from other parts of the world still find Britain an attractive destination. But is the British workmarket a good place to be an employee? Was it ever? Are salaries really good and worker's right protected? The comparition with Finland or even It…

Chapter 8: trains, buses and everything 38:45

2y ago38:45

38:45

One of Elisa's English language students said that "Britain is the country where everything is organized and buses are always on time". Oh, how wrong she was. With the bus and rail strikers, the government accuses trade union leaders for "making the public transport unreliable". But perhaps they should go on strike, because it can hardly get any wo…

Chapter 4: Home, sweet home. Tiny, mouldy home... 33:15

2y ago33:15

33:15

Britons are pround of being one of the richest economy. But are standards of living really that great?

Chapter 3: Britain is a world leading democracy. Or is it? 34:36

2y ago34:36

34:36

Britain is very proud of it's democracy. You can often hear soundbites like "world leading", "well-established" or "historic". Sure, Magna Carta and other things were good - for their time. But it's XXI century. Is Britain's democracy suitable for the times we live in? Can it be even considered a modern democracy at all?…

Litter is everywhere, even despite the fact that bins are plentiful and easily accessible - from the main streets of big cities to the most remote areas of Scotland. Why is it, that Britain can't keep itself tidy? Why, …

Chapter 1: The NHS is the envy of the whole world... or is it? 30:44

2y ago30:44

30:44

Once upon a time, I (Tomasz) was asked to write a series of articles about how Britain looks through the eyes of foreigners. I simply had to start with the NHS. It's a recurring topic of every conversation between EU citizens in the UK. I think pretty much every European we met - from Bulgarians to Portuguese - have very bad opinion of British heal…
