Leaving the country

[Sofedup91]

With how the uk is going im trying to think of what to do when things kick off. I think my best bet would be to take my 2yr old abroad somewhere. Would I still need to get father's permission in an emergency? Does anyone know where i would stand

Wel would you need visas for wherever you are going, how would you fund living there? what if millions follow you?

well I dont think what you call an emergency means the borders just open and the laws go out the window so wouldnt seeking proper legal advice make more sense?

Don't be silly.

You think in an "emergency", presumably you mean the UK coming under attack, that you'll just be able to book a flight out of here?

But the UK is not starting a war or in a conflict zone, where are you going to go that’s safer? 😂

America, where you’ll be paying $1000 a month for health insurance plus costs of treatment and qualify for no benefits? Greece, where you’ll be a lot closer to missiles landing? Dubai? Morocco? Australia, where you’ll have to transit through conflict areas in route? Never mind getting a visa. And having no access to any public benefits as a migrant. Or right to work. Don’t be stupid.

I’ve lived places where there was an active civil war at the time. I’ve lived places where terrorism was common and violent crime was high. The UK is very safe, relative to most places in the world and we are all getting on with life here as normal. No food shortages, no rationing, no brown outs because of an energy crisis. People simply need to be a bit more resourceful to lower their costs and get on with living (and be grateful our children’s lives aren’t being disrupted like so many places).

If you’re worried about reform getting into power then I think you’re premature. There’s a long time to go until the next election. Until then the uk is about as safe and stable as you can hope to find.

i think as others have said if there was ever a sudden urgent need to flee the country I think parental permission would be the least of the worries, it’d be more about how other countries treat refugees.
