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

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.
