UK Citizens Abandoning the UK in Greater Numbers
July 25, 2007 - Press Dispensary - Increasing numbers of people are taking the decision to move overseas as a result of the UK’s current immigration policy, according to www.globalvisas.com, a specialist immigration consultancy that provides immigration advice and visa services.
As numbers of immigrants to the UK from the new European Union Accession states continue to grow, more and more people in the UK are choosing to take their experience and skills overseas.
The consultancy caters for immigrants to the UK as well as British people who wish to emigrate to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa. After more than 12 years in its field, the company has recorded an increase in the number of non-EU and low skilled EU A8 citizens coming to the UK over recent years, and is now seeing a dramatic increase in British people applying to leave the UK.
Director Liam Clifford says: "Since January 2007, we have recorded an 80% rise in British nationals applying to move overseas. As this rise continues, so does the number of enquiries we receive from people asking for help in migrating to a new country. In recent months, we have received as many as 4,000 requests in a single week from people who have had enough of Britain and want to get out."
He adds: "Ironically, the main reason for these people leaving the UK is the over-stretching of services caused by inbound immigration to the UK. We are aware of the issue of so-called ‘white flight’ from certain inner city areas to the suburbs but now people are increasingly seeking a better standard of living offered by other countries.
"This phenomenon adds to the existing shortage of skilled workers already faced by the UK as they leave only to be replaced by low skilled EU A8 workers or low skilled refugees."
Nothing happens in politics that is not foreseen and intended, so this is what the immigration “policy” seeks to bring about - a replacement of the white brits by head-choppers.
The white brits can come here. Better to add a few lily-livered politically-correct wimps than head choppers.
I hear you brother. Did you bring the flag with you or were there still a few citizens left there?
BTW - Love your sig!!!!
It’s really gotta be hard on blue collar Brits. There country was livable because of widespread civility and shared values. Now, it’s upper classes looking for cheap servants pissing down everyone else’s back and telling them they should be grateful for the rain.
“For us there will be nowhere to run.”
Don’t you think government is fully aware of this? More reason for them to boost turd world immigration in order to increase racial diversity.
I’m sorry to hear that. Did she say why she was fed up? Admittedly, the standard of living is much higher in places such as Australia than in the UK and has been for many, many decades. A very small property in the UK will cost the same as a large one in places such as the US and Australia. However, I’m very proud to be British and wouldn’t ever leave my country.
Plus, in a general sense, if immigration is apparently forcing British people to up sticks then why are so many of them moving to places such as Canada, France and Spain who, have bigger immigrant populations than the UK?
Ironically immigration is leading to emmigration.
I dont believe the reason cited in the story is the real story.
It makes no sense. To me, I think one thing... Mooselimbs.
The British are anything but lily-livered, PC wimps thank you very much.
When it all comes crashing down, it will not be pretty
From Germany in 2004...almost 150,000 left. Stat’s show 2005 at least that much if not more. The gov’t is readily putting 2006 numbers but some believe they are in the 175,000 range. In the fifteen years after reunification....1.8 million have left. This is out of 80 million total Germans.
The best guess between now and 2015...at least 1.5 million will leave the country. The key things are...these are all Germans under the age of 50....and they aren’t returning. In 2005 alone...the gov’t had to admit that 5,000 doctors packed and left...which aren’t easily replaced. The chief reason given, is the state-run healthcare system which mandates what a doctor can be paid.
When you examine the cost of living...there simply isn’t a way for a guy to live off $14k a year, which is what most pension folks are receiving in social security per year. They won’t allow a 401K or IRA deal...because they can’t possibly offer tax credits like the US gov’t. And they can’t cut the German budget because of gov’t mandated programs and manpower. To stay...is simply a lose-lose situation.
I am in the U.S. and she said it was the Muslims. They have taken over and made places unrecognizable.
“It would hardly be patriotic to leave your country because immigration to Britain has increased (relatively) in recent years. If people were leaving for those sorts of reasons, you’d have to question their loyalty and worth to the UK anyway.”
Really? So lets get this straight.. filthy Asians flooding the UK, they have no intention on leaving. They have no loyality or worth.
White UKians, with skill and money, can’t stand it anymore.. and the one thing you come up with is to question their loyality? Um, who cares. I would focus on why they were compelled to leave.
Indeed! Wake up America. Save that which is about to die.
Ask the American Indians what happens when you don’t control immigration.
It would very much depend on where she visted then. The Muslim population of the UK is only 2-3%. However, they ghettoise. So where in vast swathes of the country (such as where I live) there are very, very few Muslims to none at all, if your aquaintance has visited inner Birmingham there will have been very many immigrants. Part of the problem is that the UK has always had very few immigrants and now, in this global age, their numbers have increased. However, many are hard working and the non-white population of the UK is still only 8.5%
” However, many are hard working and the non-white population of the UK is still only 8.5%”
I bet a lot of them are hard at work planning for the Jihad.
Why gee...all of those doctors.. 100% of them employed and hard working and hard at work planning to kill you.
I have a feeling "old west" style justice will become popular and Illegals will be rounded up by private citizens tired of the Government doing nothing.
BUILD THE WALL, DEPORT THEM ALL!!!!
My second cousin lives in Spain now, but even then he dislikes the .gov in Spain and is looking for somewhere else to live...
Firstly, you refer to immigrants to the UK as ‘filthy Asians’. This is quite rascist. Many Asians families have been in the UK since the 1970s and many are hard working and loyal. Secondly, the number of Asians moving to the UK is far smaller than the number of Eastern Europeans coming here. The UK has never been ‘flooded’ with immigrants. I visited Florida a few years back and didn’t meet a non-hispanic for two weeks. Mexican immigration into the US is on a proportionate scale far larger than immigration to the UK. I heard that in about 10-15 years, 25% of the entire US population will be hispanic.
In 2001, only 8.5% of the UK population was non-white. If, in this global age of mass migration UK citizens want to abandon their country beacuse a few more people have come here wanting a better life then you have to question their sense of perspective and, yes, loyalty to the UK.
Britain faced a far bigger threat from its Irish community during the Troubles. Presumably, you would have supported white emigration away from the UK then as well?
