To ask where I can move that won't have depressing random nutcases and law-exempt criminal youth around every corner

[Fragmentedbrain]

I know it's nice to have a social safety net and I want that but we don't have it now it's just unfunded chaos and the press moaning about public sector workers.

So, Switzerland? Singapore? Where is feasible (in my forties so recognise that I'd need to make a damn good case for myself). Somewhere boring and hardworking with rules and clean streets and a health service you can access and no toleration for the stuff that's everywhere in the UK now.

I am prepared for the answer to be hard cheese you left it too late and now just need to stay indoors as much as poss until the sweet release of death.

Yes, and the people who post this kind of thing seldom have sought after skills and the appropriate languages for their desired move/time travel to the UK in a magical time when there was no crime or grime.

I agree with the Danish method. I did the same when I moved here from Italy, otherwise what was the point of moving here if you don’t take effort to learn the language?

It's pretty annoying that you live a very untypical and restricted life (whether through choice or otherwise) but still try to speak authoritatively about what life is like for typical people!

I don’t think anyone is objecting to language learning, but it’s not just that in Denmark, from what I gather. I get that the ‘law of Jante’ started off as satirical fiction, but it seems to me to express a genuinely fundamental concept in Danish culture, and one which particularly impacts immigrants who, by their nature, stand out from the crowd. I know a couple of my personal tutees over the last few years have done Erasmus at different Danish universities, and both said that the Law of Jante was presented as part of their orientation!

Why would I tell you or @KateMiskin what my skills are?? Trust me I'd be fine on that front and it's not relevant to the discussion.

Ditto. A few “wilder” young teens, but nothing awful. Don’t hear a peep after 8pm.

Ok, OP, then go to Singapore, Hong Kong or Tokyo if you have skills and money.

You do know a huge chunk of Brits have EU passports too, I assume.

It’s relevant because different countries are looking for different skills in immigrants. You want to know where you can move so what you can offer is very relevant to advice.
However I still think moving within the U.K. is a better bet.

Oh you have an EU passport. Hugely relevant. Then go to Scandinavia.

No one is asking you to provide a list, but the type of person who posts this post, which is very regular on here, is, the vast majority of the time, monoglot in English and without the kind of sought-after skills that might make it feasible for them to get by in English alone in a foreign workplace.

In your OP you mentioned Switzerland - have you been there?

@Fragmentedbrain yes but the the majority do not by a very long way - so it’s very relevant to ask if people actually have options. If you have an EU passport then fine but it’s easy enough just to say so -

To an extent it is, as you could be recommended a nicer place to move to which is seeking your skills and experience. I stand by Poland, or the Baltics as great places but you’ll need to learn the language of whichever country if you’re to make it. There isn’t an issue getting English speaking senior jobs in Baltics (there is in Poland) within Financial Services (and if EU-citizen, the EU jobs) - you are expected to learn the local language eventually, its attached to the job offer in some cases.

I’ve given you a specific case based on my experience. But your qualifications, skills, and experience may not match the rest of the job market and you may find yourself struggling to find work in the Baltics, or Poland.

but not necessarily the attitudes to women...

As I said. I haven’t really experienced anything suggesting that, personally. Plus white British men have shit attitudes too in many cases.

Singapore is immaculate and polite. I bet you'd love it. It is extremely hot and sweaty tho
Switzerland, very tidy, uprtight, the big cities are a bit rough round the stations (like anywhere tbh)
Harrogate
Little village in France/Spain/Italy
Luxembourg is very boring but probably meets your criteria

It's mainly the luck of the draw TBH

if you want the UK thirty years ago then Jersey/Guernsey (slightly tongue in cheek). Both very safe.

I’m sorry. You’re actually equating British and Afghan men in their attitudes to women?!?!?!!! You know they voted the Taliban in, yes?

The ones in Afghanistan did. Why do you think the others left?
I didn’t say they were the same, just that white British men have their own issues.
Are you saying there aren’t white British men who think women are property?

There is also an encouraging tax deal at the moment for new arriving expats

'Migrants'.

There - fixed that. You're not special because you're migrating for a better life to another country, just like every other migrant/immigrant.

Dubai. Shallow, vacuous, zero tolerance for others. You’d love it.

I love Poland and did work there for a while but I don't think I'll ever be good enough at the language to live there

Was pretty pleased I could wow the taxi drivers with the basics by the end😂
