EU expats are returning to the continent as "everything in Britain is collapsing", says a Polish national still living here.
Tomasz Orynski, a Polish freelance journalist who left Britain less than two years ago after a 17-year stay, shared a conversation on X (formerly Twitter) this week with a friend still residing in Glasgow.
His friend revealed plans to move back to Poland soon and said some had already gone back to the EU, citing various reasons - from the cost of living crisis to healthcare access issues.
The friend claimed to be "the only person in her work who still has access to a dentist", as dental surgeries are "so overwhelmed" they're turning away patients - "even privately".
In Battlefield, Glasgow, where both Tomasz and his friend once lived, she told him rents have skyrocketed to the point where even those earning more than them "can't afford to live there". Tomasz's friend lamented: "Everything is so bloody expensive that even though I make £60,000 in my current job I feel just as when I was making less than £35,000 in the last one." The journalist added that some of his other friends still in Scotland "haven't seen a pay rise for five years now".

The UK is a failed state.
This is the result of the last “conservative” government, which was more interested in moving to the Left on immigration, hate crimes laws and regulating “harsh” capitalism than maintaining a functioning country.
Britain is not a failed state. They are being punished for leaving the gang.
Yet they keep shipping missiles to Ukraine.
Shhhh...you aren’t supposed to say stuff like that! All countries need to let all people in! We don’t have enough healthcare, houses, jobs...who cares...let ‘em all in!
“Our strength is our diversity!”
‘Yoops’ leaving Britain.
Socialized medicine apparently worked in Sweden and Ireland (so I've heard), until hordes of migrants overwhelmed the service. I knew someone who benefited from, and loved, Ireland's free health care system. Before the migrant influx.
Socialized medicine apparently works in Israel, which has no Third World migrant influx (and granted, is a nation heavily subsidized by Germany and the U.S.).
I knew a Canadian woman who loved her socialized health care back in the 1990s, but not by the 2000s (when immigration had picked up).
Tens of millions of low-IQ, non-working, violent migrants into the West, who demand free food, housing, and health care, is destroying the Western welfare state. Socialized medicine can work to some extent, provided most of the population are makers, not takers.
Libertarians have long claimed that "immigrants create wealth."
“”...the only person in her work who still has access to a dentist”...”
A similar phenomenon is occurring in many Emergency Rooms across the U.S. ‘Newcomers’ who are blessing the U.S. with the gift of diversity are crowding out the people who are paying for the ER. I’ve been told that complaining of chest pains, “¡Tengo dolores en el pecho!” can get you to the front of the line.
Healthcare issues: I have to wait until November 19 for a 15 minute imaging test. I work for the hospital system that is making me wait. It’s time to speak out together. Obamacare, or as Trump calls it the affordable care act, is impacting those who work and pay outrageous premiums and copays and co insurance and deductible any any new class of Marxist grind.
This is taxation and denial of care. Our founders would’ve been at the harbor dumping masks.
It also works better when those receiving and paying for it don’t see the population in terms of “us and them”. It is natural for people to support helping those they share some commonality with. Whether it is culture or politics or values. They view it as a way to help keep a country strong. Healthy people mean a healthier economy. Don’t forget it also is assumed everyone but the most destitute also contribute.
Bring in outsiders who have no intention of being part of the community resentment rightfully builds against paying for services when the cost is absorbed by only a fraction of the population.
Mass illegal immigration certainly means the system is no longer a means of keeping an economy that benefits the working and middle classes going. It only benefits large corporations, global elites, Leftist politicians, radicals and others who see the collapse of a robust working and middle class as a threat to their view of Utopia.
Errata,
others who see the collapse of a robust working and middle class as a threat to their view of Utopia.
Should read,
others who see the collapse of a robust working and middle class as a “boon” to their view of Utopia.
UK-RIP.
The UK a muslim state of disaster
Britain has imported the incubus of the cancer. Now, it is a matter of waiting a generation or two for it to metastasize by popping out babies and for native Brits fleeing to Australia in the later stages of the transition. Say hello to the new Middle East
“conservative” government, fake phoney lie perpetrated on the people, they were rats all along. What we see here is what awaits us if we dont dammed well crush these parasites
