Is that you Boris? May I suggest the Ukraine?

alibongo5 · 21/11/2019 18:30

No I will be celebrating!

oliwki · 21/11/2019 18:31

Yes it's me Boris Hmm. Is that you Jeremy?

Hmm

It’s the Tories getting in that will make us flee to an opportunity abroad. As the parents of a very poorly child we will have to, since the NHS underfunding and staff shortages are already seriously impacting her treatment.

But, yeah, Corbyn is the terrifying one. Hmm

Bezalelle · 21/11/2019 18:42

Um... no.

I'm Jewish as well. Shock horror!

StripyHorse · 21/11/2019 18:46

I don't think I could live in a country where the government funds public services properly and supports those in need.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to but I can't afford to move and the tories keep getting in.

goodwinter · 21/11/2019 18:46

Why would you?

RosiePosiePuddle · 21/11/2019 18:49

No. The opposite. We are more likely to come home. Whereas if boris' hard Brexit goes through it is will be very hard and/or very expensive (to return to jobs with shit pay and ridiculous working conditions). I am married to a Scandinavian and it is best we stay here if there is a Tory government.

PhilSwagielka · 21/11/2019 18:50

No. And I'm Jewish as well.

Paintedmaypole · 21/11/2019 18:52

No, but if the Tories get in again and austerity continues I will campaign for Welsh and Scottish independence and stay where I am.

Hisdoeherbuck · 21/11/2019 18:53

We wouldn’t come home regardless, Conservatives will cause economic hardship through Brexit. Labour will cause hardship through socialism.

With those options available we have basically given up on the UK

WrongKindOfFace · 21/11/2019 18:54

No. Not that we’ll find it so easy to move post Brexit anyway.

abitlostandalwayshungry · 21/11/2019 18:54

That would be a reason to stay

borntobequiet · 21/11/2019 18:54

No. Why would I do that? I might go if the Conservatives get in as I’d prefer to live in a country with a shred of decency and self-respect.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 21/11/2019 18:55

Labour won’t be getting in. The Torres will fly the election, I guarantee it.
Like I have previously alluded to. Too many people are easily brainwashed by their nonsense and Too many 🦃 are too fond of voting for Christmas.

charliesp · 21/11/2019 18:56

Yes. Luxembourg, Paris, or possibly Monaco.

My DHs business won't survive under Corbyn.

We have young DC but are mobile and happy to relocate for a few years.

LimeRedBanana · 21/11/2019 18:56

Nice one OP. Grin

pigeononthegate · 21/11/2019 18:56

No, we'll be holding a massive party to celebrate the end of this vicious, pitiless Tory regime of ideological austerity. It's not likely to happen though, unfortunately.

EleanorReally · 21/11/2019 18:57

absolutely Not

easyandy101 · 21/11/2019 18:57

It'd have to be Novel Garage to make me leave

EleanorReally · 21/11/2019 18:58

It aint gonna happen unfortunately,

Whitehorseinthehill · 21/11/2019 18:59

No, why would I leave?

rosie1959 · 21/11/2019 19:00

Hopefully Labour wont get in

ForalltheSaints · 21/11/2019 19:00

No, much as I will never vote for a Labour Party led by him.

JazzyJelly · 21/11/2019 19:01

No? Nutters say this every election. They never do. Though I do have a cousin who moved to Canada from the USA when Trump was elected.
