The papers today ask why 400,000 left the Uk last year to live and work somewhere else. I would have thought the answer was obvious.
They’ve had enough.
We live in a country where anyone who has gained some qualifications, who tries to pay their own way and to live a decent life feels targetted by this government. We have our identity assaulted, our democratic views ignored, our pockets and purses rifled by the state, our opinions criticised or banned and the public services we do wish to use run incompetently or rationed for us.

Where could we go that would be any better? And where are the Brits going besides here?
I don’t think Americans will flee from Hispanics, Asians, Africans or any other group other than Muslims.
I love the UK and visit there. Lately I have felt uncomfortable for the very first time. It is a different country.
That is a pretty small island, in the scheme of things.
London Mayor calls for Press to rethink Islam
A NEW survey commissioned by the London Mayor has concluded that the media sees no common ground between Islam and the West, and that conflict between them is ‘inevitable’...
He NEEDED a survey for this happy fact???
I think and may be wrong that the Scots when they separate from the UK just may be the people who don’t give in. And I have hopes for the Irish.
Am I wrong? I don’t know enough to really know except that the Scots seem to have great backbone. The poor decent Brits who have always been our dear friends and cousins, seem to have been finished off. I pray I am wrong.
THe Lord Mayor is a looney tune I do believe.
I think they’re leaving because of all the bad food.
You can get wonderful food in the UK now, mostly at Indian restaurants.
All,
Why would we leave. Real American’s know that Eternal vigilance is the cost of our freedom. Every once in a while there will be a Hitlery trying to destroy our culture and usurp our god given freedoms.
Game on.
New Zealand has Maoris.
Compared to them, Muslims are a pleasure.
Agreed.
We may get a Euro-fascist gub’mint, but we also got ‘merican tendencies...
I am not planning to leave but I am old. If I were young, this would be discouraging especially if we give this country to the left.
I didn’t realize the US of the 50s was filled with gay leftists. Maybe you meant the South Island.
>where would us conservative Americans Move?
Exactly. - What people are not waking up to - and they can wake up to - is the fact that there has always been a struggle between competing ideologies, cultures, societies, and the different lifestyles and outlooks attendant to those structures.
If we accept the notion that “diversity is strength,” then we have abrogated our own particular heritage, and therefore, do not deserve to be preserved.
This is extinction at a very real level, as we continue to abort our ancestors' unborn descendents at a shocking rate, embrace the dead end of homosexuality and other adverse lifestyles, are publicly educated that the noble sacrifices of our hallowed dead were worthless, that the originators of our culture were blood soaked goons, and that fighting for our own heritage is absolutely wrong at any level.
Nobody will band together and fight for those ideals.
In essence, they are our tombs, and we are the ghosts to inhabit them.

England should be in the dictionary as the definition of the phrase “Self-Inflicted Wound”. Were there only 6 popular movements advocating the following in England, 90% of their problems would be gone in short order:
1) Repeal gun control. Any citizen not convicted of a felony may have a gun for their personal protection, or to be used to stop a criminal act.
2) Restore the death penalty for cases of aggravated murder. Once guilty of murder, the convicting jury will be the sole issuer of the death penalty. Sentence may only be overturned by pardon or commutation of the Prime Minister or the royal person.
3) Non-citizens who commit criminal acts will be automatically deported to their nation of citizenship when their sentence has been fulfilled.
4) Three strikes and you’re out law.
5) Tent prisons will be erected in rural parts of England for any prisoners over the maximum held in brick prisons. There will be no early release for overcrowding.
6) A prohibition against any international or EU treaty that would restrict either Common Law or “The Rights of Free-Born Englishmen.”
Sell every one of your handguns because you certainly will not be owning any there.
my son emigrated from US to S Korea over five years ago...their tax laws were just too favorable over the onerous multiple taxes in California that from a business POV of a small business (only fifty employees) it just didn’t make sense to do business in California anymore. It would have been too much of a commute so he moved family to Seoul as well. Makes it hard on ol’ Grampa tho’...
What dynamic drove that choice? - Family, friends, business?
