Re: why are so many Britons emigrating?
 

Yes but that thread has become a sleazy outpouring of fetishistic fantasies as well as expressions of lust for AdrianTO. I suggest steering clear.

I like the sound of this. Where might I find such slease and fantasy?

Other than at any of the salubrious places round the corner that you've probably visited DBD... *cough, steamworks, cough*

Love this “journo” use of wordage ” 1.8m British people have left but only 979,000 have returned.” Roughly translated to real English 1.8 Million people left and just over half of them came back
Kind’a states that the grass really isn’t that much greener after all
And when you consider so many invest so much that returning isn’t an option it not as wonderful as many would like to make out

Make you wonders..... I think many leave because they can cash in their houses equity and live it up somewhere where they think the cost of living is lower.
Shame that they find that the wages are often lower so the cost of living works out to be roughly the same, but without a fully expensed medical system, TV that is actually worse than the UK, Crime that is almost the same, and politicians that are even more corrupt than the one they always complain about

So very "telegraph" that they manage to find stats from when Labour came to power, as if that triggered an exodus, and that the first comment from an expat when I tuned in blamed "uncontrolled immigration" as the reason they emmigrated.


Immigrants complaining about immigrants, I never tire of that irony.

While I can't speak much about the UK or it's people, I can say that much of today's emigration is happening simply becuase it can! That is to say, emigration (or at a minimum: leaving your country for a year or two) is a world trend due to the ease of such moves. Air travel is affordable, people are waiting to start families, technology allows you to almost stay as connected back home as if you were there, and finally, Human convergence (aka, the melting pot). While just as many europeans are moving out, just as many foreigners are moving in (plus of course new born kids.....over population; no matter where in the world you live!!)

Although this seems to be a widely held belief on BE I don't think its true. Just that British politicians are better covering it up/carrying on regardless.

Re: why are so many Britons emigrating?
 

Isn't there always a brain-drain when Labour are in power? I vaguely remember the last Labour government from when I was a kid, and it was big news; there was even some suggestion (probably in the Telegraph, for all I know :)) that the government might introduce exit visas so skilled workers couldn't get out.

When people say they're leaving England to get away from the immigrants, I doubt they're complaining about, say, American doctors working for the NHS.
