    House of Cards Star Robin Wright Leaves the US,
    Says 'America is a S-show'
    -----------------------------------------------
    Robin Wright recently opened up about why she left the U.S.
    and moved to the U.K. in an interview. She didn't touch on
    the country's current political scenario, but did criticize
    the current environment in America. On the contrary, she
    also shared how her life feels different in the U.K.
    compared to when she lived in the U.S. Here are the details
    on what the House of Cards star said about relocating.

    Robin Wright on why she moved to the UK
    In a new profile with The Times U.K., Wright shared the
    reasons for her move from the U.S. to the U.K. She said,
    "America is a s***show." Revealing the reasons why she
    prefers the U.K., she added, "I love being in this country.
    There's a freedom of self here. People are so kind. They're
    living. They're not in the car in traffic, panicked on a
    phone call, [or] eating a sandwich. That's most of America.
    Everything's rush, competition, and speed."

    She elaborated on how different her life is in the country
    she now calls home compared to America. Instead of waking up
    to the noise of neighbors' home renovations, she wakes up to
    the sound of chirping birds. "Everyone's building a huge
    house, and I'm just done with all that - I love the quiet.
    And I've met my person. Finally," she explained.

    For those unfamiliar, Wright is currently dating architect
    Henry Smith, and they live in a rented home in the English
    seaside. In the same interview, she revealed that she met her
    partner at the bar. Detailing their first encounter, she
    shared, "He goes, 'No, it's not my dog, it's his dog. And
    Henry was standing at the bar, 6ft 2in, and he put his pint
    down, came over to me and grabbed my shoulders. He goes, 'Who
    the f- are you?' And I said, 'Who the f- areayou?' And that
    was it."

    Wright is not the first celebrity to move to another nation;
    many others have also left the country for either personal or
    political reasons. They are Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de
    Rossi, Rosie O'Donnell, Courtney Love, and Eva Longoria, among
    others.

    If memory serves, Robin Wright was once married to Sean Penn, as
    hardcore a Marxist as you're likely to find. Even if she didn't fully
    share his views, I don't imagine she completely despised them either.
    It's not hard to image her being discontented with the US under Trump.

    Well, at least she didn't come here. Canada already has too many "progressives".

    LOL! And the UK isn't? At least in America we don't get arrested for mean tweets and flying our own country's flag.

    There's a freedom of self here.

    As long as one's 'self' aligns with the 'progressive' left agenda of the government. Otherwise expressing one's 'self' in the UK gets one a jail cell.

    People are so kind. They're
    living. They're not in the car in traffic

    She must not frequent London, then. My experience is that London traffic makes L.A.'s traffic look like a relaxing weekend drive.

    Well, I hope she's reading up on the requirement of Sharia law and laying in a good supply of burkhas because it won't be long until she's experiencing the joys of an Islamic caliphate.

    LOL! And the UK isn't? At least in America we don't get arrested for mean >tweets and flying our own country's flag.

    Two things seem obvious here. Her experience being well off and well
    known is going to be different from the average person. She's also
    going to be new to living in the country and as such will have a
    different experience from someone who has grown up there with
    everything seeming bright and new and the cracks not being noticed.
    It takes time before one begins to see the downsides to some place new
    that weren't obvious at first glance.

    Revealing the reasons why she
    prefers the U.K., she added, "I love being in this country.

    Well, she does seem to be describing life in a small village. Head
    into any small town and there tends to be little traffic. She could
    have had the same experience in the USA, but given a husband that is
    from the UK I expect that played a part in the decision to move there.

    If memory serves, Robin Wright was once married to Sean Penn, as
    hardcore a Marxist as you're likely to find.

    Why because he does all kinds of humanitarian work for Haiti and other struggling countries?

    Of course humanitarianism -- or even basic human decency toward
    impoverished people in other countries -- is not in vogue in
    Trumpamerika and its proponents.

    Even if she didn't fully share his views, I don't imagine she
    completely despised them either. It's not hard to image her being discontented with the US under Trump.

    There's a lot of that going around.

    "Hellhole," (look it up) where have I heard that before.

    What they need is a ruler who totally ignores Parliament and the Crown, huh.

    You're an idiot.

    Parliament cannot be ignored by the government. It IS the government,
    not a separate legislative branch. It is simultaneously the legislature
    and the government.

    Numerous times in English history, the Crown totally ignored Parliament.
    This led to civil wars. Eventually, enough power was taken away from the
    Crown that it's little more than a figurehead as head of state.

    The King or Queen is an absolute monarch within the Royal Family but
    does not rule over anybody else.

    How did you not learn any of this in school?
