The UK is not London. This is what irritates me about people commenting on life in the UK. I live in Scotland, have an ok job, my own house, and live fairly comfortably. There's no way I'm leaving this green grass land for a dustbowl in the Middle East to live from a laptop 🤣

I'm 28. Left for Eastern Europe 2 years ago and can confidently say it's been the best decision I've ever made. London and the UK more widely as a society has totally failed.

You missed the elephant in the room - I take it unintentionally - massive uncontrolled immigration from the Middle East and Africa, which is completely changing the fabric and soul of the country.

I Lived in London for 27 years, but last year when my landlord hiked rent by 400£ I decided enough is enough .My 45K salary was just covering my bills and travelcard (I lived alone) so I packed up and left in October, but interesting thing is that the flat I was living still empty today....June 2024

Bonjour. The very same is happening in my poor old France and I guess the same is happening in many western countries. Good luck everyone.

When it is possible to receive more than 1K in benefits instead of companies raising the salaries, then we have a problem…

UK is a punitively taxed, low pay culture, welfare state with terrible weather. If i were a young person I would definitely leave. The money is there to do anything we wanted, it's just that the politicians waste so much of it and the state is far too big and costly.

I left London after 15 years, went to the hospital emergency twice, at Royal Free Hospital- in Hamstead… They had hundreds of people waiting, in pain. There was a massive cardboard at the entrance saying: “Minimum waiting time 10hrs” “Please, be kind, be patient with our staff, they're trying their best to help everyone …. It was a horrible experience to see and hear the screaming patients at the emergency in pain. I was praying to God to take me out of there. And so it did.

I left in 1996 before Tony Blair. I went back 3 weeks ago after a break of 10 years since the last time I was there. After 2 weeks it was clear to me that it is no longer my home. Listening to my friends talk about life and seeing what their children have to go through despite having degrees was beyond depressing.

I don’t live in London, I live between coastal North Yorkshire and rural Scotland. Life is good. I’ve worked all over the World, happy to live here.

I love my country, but we are all leaving. Not only abroad. No true Londoners can even afford to live in London anymore.The social contract here is BROKEN. And the weather is TERRIBLE. Fuck this place, my home, FUCK IT. Im off.

I see more and more ppl are speaking about this. Living in London is terrible especially because this 50% tax after 50k (50k is just to cover basic needs in London, lol). There is no perspective to build your wealth unless you've inherited a House 🏠.

One thing I notice in England is a kind of blinkering going-on. There is an invisible cordon put around talking about the actual direction we are taking. I make a point of asking the simple question: 'In your estimation, will Britain be a better place or a worse place in five years?' No prizes for guessing what the 100% reply is.

I left London England in 2006 , I could see this coming and thought it's time to get out now . I've moved to Cyprus which is far better if you're ready to retire , especially with the weather , very low crime rates , and no traffic jams whatsoever . In all my time living here I have never seen a single homeless person living on the streets .

Funny you say it’s always cold , our met office seem to believe we’re having record breaking temperatures every month lol 😂

UK pm pay less tax than average employees. What can you expect from such corrupt politicians and greedy rich elites of UK?? Taxes, taxes and more taxes for average joe on street. Greedy companies and extremely low salaries which doesn’t match with developed nations

I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago. I left the UK 9 years back and have been living tax free, earning 5 times my UK take home pay. I am also in the UAE but in Abu Dhabi, living by the ocean. The summer is very hot, but for 6 months of the year, the weather is like a British summer. I did not leave the UK because I did not like it. I actually love my country. I left because progression is blocked in every aspect. There are so many talented people from the UK living and working across the world, helping other countries progress, because their own country is controlled by bell ends. In Abu Dhabi I have an English Dentist and an English Doctor and many of my work colleagues are British. They are all exceptionally good at what they do because they love their job and social life. People are allowed to progress. It is a free and fair society, despite the utter garbage written about it by the UK press. Sure, the UAE has its quirks, but every society has the same. The financial people in the UK run the show and they are all about stuffing their own pockets at the expense of everyone else. Until that culture is bought in line, the UK will always be going backwards, and talented people will continue to leave. That is the long and short of it. The brain drain is real and getting worse.

We all know why/who responsible for the crime elevation in UK right? Same as in Sweden...

The rich and poor divide keeps getting bigger year by year. I left the UK over 20 years ago because I saw all the curruption and injustice and the double standards. It is the capital of hypocricy. It use to be a traditional country but it's all gone now, so sad. Your spiting out facts brother👍
