Is anyone else planning to leave the UK?

Family is important, I hope you have much joy and many years with yours in the UK.

Why can’t you leave the kids? Both adults and of voting and working age? They are adults, you’ve done your part now, go live your life!

Yes my lovely son he cannot get a training post as a doctor so he is off to Australia. I am so sad. My daughter also cannot get one but is hanging on for another year. If they both go it will be so hard.

I think I have the option of political asylum in the USA due to beliefs, so it's an option.

I love English people and this country so I don't want to go.

I will probably leave as an asylum seeker, if it becomes an empty museum and airport that battery farms.

Not leave as we have home family and mates here
Will re-locate all admin tasks in our company to India (10 uk jobs lost plus tax from those staff)
Have already moved money abroad as advised by IFA to more tax effiecient nations

The education system is the same. If the every day person could see what is happening inside many schools they would wonder what in the world is going on. It was pretty routine for my child in year 3 to be evacuated into the playground as tables were being upended in the classroom and missiles thrown. My older child in secondary recounts the most unbelievable stories most days. There is most definitely an unravelling of society going on but I’m sure it’s happening across the West so unless the plan is to move to Japan or Dubai I’m not sure France will be the solution.

My partner did say yesterday that we could very easily leave as there are locations worldwide he could transfer to but I’d be damned if this shower of cunts will force our hand and uproot the kids when they are settled in school. I shall just continue to vent online until 2029 😎

I'd quite happily leave, and my mum and I have the ability to get "residency" such as it is - in france due to presvious work/family etc. I just havent finished the qualifications that i need to be able to transition from doing my job here - to being able to do it in france. Once thats done - we are gone.

I have no idea how I managed to post this on the wrong thread

Belize as a Brit you can move to

Here's a nice graph.

Bye then. Enjoy the adventure.
once you work out you can immigrate to.

Nowhere in Europe appeals. I lie - Portugal is absolutely beautiful and it appeals so much it hurts. Budapest, maybe, if I could get a foothold in the language, but it defeated me!

France is the new sick man of Europe according to a BBC report with even the Italians laughing at their political chaos, lets block everything riots and spiralling debt. I'd give France a swerve for now.

We moved to Perth in 2013. We chose it because of the Mediterranean climate and the fact that houses then were a lot cheaper than on the east coast. House prices here are still cheaper but have gone up massively since Covid, due to huge housing shortages. But if you can get jobs here and sponsorship, and have the money to make the move, I highly recommend it. It’s a wonderful place to bring up a family, wages are high and the weather and outdoor lifestyle is fabulous. It’s clean, beautiful and pretty laid back, and there are lots of opportunities if you are willing to work hard most people do pretty well. We can afford a standard of living that we would never have achieved in the UK. It’s not an easy move, especially if you have a large close family, flights are expensive and bloody long. But for us it was the right move, I just wish I’d moved sooner!

The NHS is a disgrace. And I say that as someone who worked in it for decades. It has longer waits and worse outcomes than so many other countries. I'm currently in hospital in the EU and the difference is stark.

Ok. Just so happens that I was reading about the economic problems, and the resignation of the last premier, but if your life is so crappy and shit here, then bon voyage.

Don't they have those problems everywhere though? We're keen to go, spending the rest of my life in a crappy little terraced house in a crappy area in the south west where it pisses with rain most of the year isn't appealing. We can speak pretty good french, my dad lives there already, in a nice house in a nice area that I will eventually inherit.

I have dual citizenship British/EU so can move anywhere in Europe. Much harder for those who don't have EU citizenship.

Yes, I do think some people are being a little naive, perhaps.

As someone who moved to the UK at 20, I’d say you really need to be able to speak the local language at a decent level — otherwise, life will be… well, pretty crap. You should aim for absolute fluency, and honestly, that’s much harder if you move after 30.
Also, nationalism seems to be on the rise in almost every country, which is something to be aware of.
For example, if you wanted to move to Germany, you’d need to speak German fluently, pass as a local, have an EU passport, and a decent amount of cash, only then would the move make sense. Otherwise, staying put is probably wiser

@AuntieMeemz Im not sure it’s as simple as thinking “ooh I’d like to live in Japan” and moving there?

Alien registration, local taxes, local laws. Just massive barriers. You can’t just rock up with a tourist visa and work online for a UK company…
