Holland's economy isn't doing well either.

Which country has a good economy and jobs avail may be a starting point. Staying in the UK may work out best esp with child benefit and tax credits

Which country? Do you have a criminal history?

being self-employed means NOTHING itself, so sorry, to ask so many questions, worrying about where you would be detained, = paranoid for some reason.
