They can tell you who is in worse shape.
Do you have any sources for that assertion. Here are some facts not assertions For example.
Australia has consistently been the most popular destination country for British emigrants over the last 20 years. Other key destinations for British emigrants include Spain, the USA, France, Germany, Canada and New Zealand. An estimated 4.7 million UK-born people live abroad with the largest stocks in Australia, the USA, Canada, Spain and Ireland. The UK ranks eighth highest in the world in terms of the number of its nationals living abroad (World Bank, 2011)
We are in worst shape because we are being colonized by the Third World. At least the UK recognizes that they must decrease legal immigration, especially from non-EU countries.
