I think we live in an age of global mass migration now. The people that I know who are leaving the UK are doing so simply because they can afford better housing in places such as Australia. They don’t have any problems with all the new Eastern Europeans moving to the UK.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. It seems the new, trendy thing to do is buy a home in Spain or Australia where the housing is cheaper and the weather far better.
I recently met a lady from Britain who immigrated here about 8 yrs ago. She just got back from a trip to visit family and said......wow, she will never go back. Her sister is trying to immigrate to Australia now for the same reasons.
They are fed up.
I know several folks that traded up also.
My acquaintances just moved to a different neighborhood though.
Moving 8000 miles never entered their minds.
