Never leave your home country again - or never be able to go to your home country again. Which would you choose?

I agonise over this; really struggle to decide which I’d do.

Rules: visas etc no object, you could live anywhere else in the world. starting with same standard of living/set up that you currently have.
Those you live with come with you.
Others can visit you, but you can’t ever return to your home country.

Stay in my home country
I love my holidays , love seeing new places and had chance of living in US but then realised if I couldn’t live in Scotland again I’d be so very sad.

I had to leave at very short notice due to a family emergency the other side of the world. Ended up staying there a year. I was surprised to not miss anything from home (except for younger extended family who were growing up fast). I had to return to the UK due to ill health, not meaning to stay, but gradually got stuck here due to aging family.

Whole of the UK - I'd stay. If I'd be stuck in England forever I'd leave.

My parents come from two different countries (both of which split to become a number of smaller countries), so I grew up speaking two languages, with family and friends spread over different countries. We then moved to another country and I learned English. I emigrated again to yet another, largely English speaking, country. I feel like I belong in many places, but I then for me the sense of belonging comes from being confident and at ease in myself. It doesn’t come from any one place, and tbh I wouldn’t want it to. I dislike the thought of being tied geographically in that way.

Never be able to leave the UK ever again? I'd be running towards that plane as fast as my feet could carry me

100% agree. The UK has become incredibly woke, overrun with protesting dogooders and dismissive of women's rights - please buy me a ticket and I'll join you.

So your decision would be between leaving the UK forever (your home) or never leave the UK again…...

Your question however intended the country that people were born in.

I would remain in the UK. Going by your 2nd option.

Ha! A relative of mine also lived in Singapore as an expat and said EXACTLY the same thing. She used to cry when the BBC showed snowy scenes…...

There is some (understandable) variation of interpretation of ‘Home Country’.

I deliberately didn’t use ‘Birth Country’ in the original post, because they can be two separate places.

Oooohbh good question and a tough one at that

I think I'd stay in the uk.

There's so much to explore here.
