My Assimilation into the UK

My experience assimilating into the United Kingdom.

While I think it was necessary to protect our independence, I also think Britain should eventually be reintegrated with the EU, but with privileges and smart contract safeguards in place to ensure that the new agreement couldn't possibly be violated. The historical and geographical ties are too strong to ignore.

I learned about Britain's conflicted rehabilitation program by spending half a day in the summer of 2023 with a young homeless man (proxy photo) living just outside York's Micklegate Bar. After treating him to lunch and some new attire, he explained that he was reluctant to work because 70% of his wages would've been withheld to pay for his lodging. So instead, he'd just wait several months until the judge progressed his case. He also seemed to have some undiagnosed disorder. Clearly, this incentives problem requires a legislative solution.
