To think leaving UK is the best Option now

No, not really. A climate that hot and dry is simply not suited to intensive population — it worked ok for what used to be there, a few coastal settlements of fisher people and pearl fishers and inland mostly nomads moving between available water. Having cities like Dubai is an environmental disaster on the grounds of water alone. The UAE consistently comes top in rankings of least environmentally friendly countries because of its reliance on air con and desalinated water, which in turn are hugely energy-costly. The buildings are uninhabitable without aircon for the hotter months, and the cities are built for car dependency. That’s leaving aside the fact that as a tourist destination, it requires mass medium-haul air travel, and the importation of virtually all food, and the environmental damage caused by the construction of artificial islands.

I don’t think it’s particularly inaccurate to call it a ‘disgusting’ climate in terms of a total mismatch between local conditions and current human habitation.

Close to 50c heat is hazardous to human health and therefore suits nobody. Imo, it’s fair enough to perceive dangerous weather to be disgusting.

Dubai and US certainly wouldn’t be my choice but YANBU if moving there is positive for your family.

How can weather be disgusting? It's either a climate that suits you or doesn't suit you. Like any country.

I’d hardly call financial services a brain drain or high on many skilled migrants list. Most countries are making it harder for migrants too.

Sandy Hook was a very nice safe area.

I doubt very much you’d get a job in the US. America has its own tech professionals and it’s nigh on impossible to get a job there unless you’re sent over by your company. Trump will be making getting visas even more difficult now.

Well it’s seems that our governments (and other EU countries too!) are starting to issues warnings….

Theres been quite a few people with visas etc… from U.K. and EU who have found themselves in a sticky place recently. Including many academics going to conferences.

So no, it’s not looking good just now. Not somewhere I’d plan any hols soon, let alone living there.

Well I'm not. Are you not following the news?

Do you think that there are no waiting times in the US? Waiting times for Primary Care in the US grossly exceed those in the UK (or any other European country).

A fair few seem to be doing this for free..,

There are probably some jobs spreading anti immigrant sentiment on social media🙃

Ah yes, the tech industry. Which Nazi do you plan on working for?

But each to their own. Where you prefer to be is entirely subjective. For me I am very happy to be back in the UK.

I also don’t the worries about the NHS. If you move overseas you will need private healthcare so just do that in the UK.

Well not U in theory but those 2 places wouldn't even be on my longlist!

If they earn similar to you here then they are likely paying their nanny and driver slave labour wages.

Don't be ridiculous!

Don't forget US has state and property taxes which add up. Texas is great though.

My DH has spent the last few months convinced we should move to the US. To me it feels like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

it’s going to be tough to be an immigrant anywhere soon. There are people spreading anti immigrant sentiment everywhere.

People in Ukraine weren’t scared, either, until the day Russia invaded. Of course people carry on as normal if they feel they have to, for as long as they can, even if that actually means they are facilitating an acceleration of bad, unchecked behaviours. That doesn’t mean other people should take that as a signal to deliberately move somewhere that it is patently clear to the entire world is heading in a bad direction.

The USA! Come on OP, the place is a fallen democracy that at any time now could invade a sovereign country. As an immigrant you'd be a target.

This is so obviously rage bait and I'm not falling for it and wasting my time dishing out reasonable advice .
It is entertaining though🍿.

Go ahead OP, it will be the making of you 🤗.

Where are you hearing this? People walking to Canada? I have heard anything like this. I haven’t even heard of people with citizenship in other countries leaving apart from maybe some very rich/celebrity types. Even as a UK citizen I really can’t just up and leave, my kids have UK passports but my DH doesn’t, we can’t just head back to the UK with no jobs in the middle of the school year, I don’t even have skills that will transfer at this point. Most of us that are in blue states are just retreating into our bubble and living life as normal because there really isn’t any other option. Things sound scary on the news and they are in a global sense but I reality life is normal, even for people who aren’t white. T e only people who are scared seem to be people on green cards who have a thing in their record that could be used to deny them entry to the US if they leave,

I think OP has a point. I think if I was in my 20's 30's, I'd goto Dubai just to make bank for a few years. It's very hard to get ahead in the UK now unless you're on a very high salary and why suffer if you don't need to?

Thread transparently started by someone at work in a political office somewhere 😂

If anyone at conservative or reform HQ or the Russians or someone want to employ me, I'll do a much better job.
