Steve...I left the UK for good some 28 years ago to move here. I get back once or twice a year, and despair what has happened to our once GREAT country. The majority of people over here are INCREDIBLY supportive of the military and their sacrifices (and this support is usually completely INDEPENDENT of their political views). England is NOT the country in which I was born, and I truly see NO rosy future for change there either.
The 'glory days' of the sixties are LONG GONE
Good luck!
