Came across your videos I think because of my recent video I posted about leaving the UK. But I'm so glad I did. Excited to see your journey! I miss my friends and a lot of things about the UK but sadly it was just so expensive and falling apart and I had to leave so I could get better medical care. I was waitlisted over 6 months so many times
So you British never learn it seems. You took the place fro somebody else in another country… because your life sucked and your fruitcake island sucked? As a British person you shouldn’t go to other countries and ruïne peoples Ives over there. All of you thickhead redcoats still live in the 1600.
@@jcvastgoed1490 We gave the world civilization. That keyboard you used to type/eclectic/engineering/science/medicine/stability/banning slavery etc. Now get on your knees and thank the British Nation. Without us, the world would be in a dark place and guess what you would not have been born. As I suspect your ancestors would have died through a lack of clean water/medicine or would have been slaughtered with civil war.
British here, from Newcastle. I so agree with your points. I’m 32, did everything I was told career-wise, worked my way up to a good job and salary but found myself in the plug for 60 hours a week, for years. I had no life at all and ended up burnt out. I decided to go freelance but found so much more bad behaviour and bad sportsmanship in business, local councils and with clients and it drove me to depression this summer. I can feel that people in the UK have lost the will to fight for better. We’ve allowed energy companies, corporates, food suppliers and politicians to chip away any the good things we had and squeeze more money out of us. We lost our industry, our skillset and our usefulness. The only pride we can have is for relics of the past. We can’t cook anymore, recognise good food and restaurants are taking your eyes out for low quality cooking and ingredients (I know this, I was a chef!) But for the majority of us Brits, as long as we ‘look’ like we’re alright, that’s all that matters, whether it’s real or not. ‘Me first’ mentality. A lot of my friends are crippled with debt keeping up this ideal. Job security is so low, most jobs only want to hire under 21s, and it’s impossible to rent on your own unless you’re in a secure relationship. I moved back home with my mum because it was better to pool our resources in this economy - I honestly can’t see myself having good enough reason to rent alone again. I made an effort to date this year and everybody I met just talked about their own lives and never asked a question back. Self-centeredness is just baked into modern British society now, I see it so much every day and I’ve totally lost my faith in people in the street. Community is gone, replaced with self-scan, online shopping and bulldozed community centres. It’s weakened us and we’ve let it, so we lost any cohesion to recognise what is happening to us and push back. I noticed how bad antisocial behaviour is now, the area I live in used to be a nice area we we knew who the neighbours were, they’re all old and dying, and now I have new, young neighbours and I don’t even know their names. There used to be kids playing football outside in the streets now they’re completely deserted. I’ve spent periods of time living in Asia, East Africa and South America and found a rich, breathing culture, identity and sense of unity. The UK has lost that. I recently decided to leave my chef career, retrain in teaching English as a foreign language and make plans leave and start over somewhere better.
I’m in a somewhat similar situation. I’m 31 and I moved up North in Scotland in the hopes of building up a new group of friends, meeting a girl etc. Well it turns out people up here aren’t that bothered about making new friends, and tbh I’ve barely even seen a girl I’m interested in bar the odd one that is almost certainly a tourist. The whole point in moving here was to settle down and fit in to a community. The reality is that I’m just an outsider looking in, so hopefully I can sell my house asap and move abroad- most likely to Australia where my brother lives. Cos I’m also at that age where my friends are having kids etc or just barely make any effort to meet up any longer. I feel like I should be enjoying my daily life instead of merely existing. Anyways I’m taking control- getting the house put up for sale soon and then leaving. I’m done making effort with people who don’t reciprocate it and also done living in a country whose politicians clearly hate the indigenous population.
I’m 55 and left 25 years ago to Germany, I remember Newcastle to be a very friendly place. It all started with Thatcher privatization of everything, destroying communities and telling us the individual and making money came first. Destroyed the unions and the working class and the economy and left most of us poor. It’s just gotten worse and worse and worse. I was over in Edinburgh this summer. You can see the corruption. Tax payers money is not being spent on the public. Germany has also gone right down hill since I came here and will never be the same again but it’s not got uk self destruction levels yet. It hurts me to see what’s happening.
@@NiceTryGuvnah And have nothing left over? It's better he depart to somewhere else like Malaysia, or heck get a hut in the middle of nowhere he'll be way happier
It is in decline. FACT. Socially, culturally, demographically, politically and economically. Europe is also in decline. For example, Germany, the engine of Europe and the principle money maker of the European Union is so screwed. It's in an economic death spiral.
When i comes to uk from POLAND in 2004 i think to myself ohh is nice and rich country...now when i go POLAND for holidays and come back to uk i feel like i am returning to 3 world country ....broken roads dirty cities migrants knife crime....😢😢😢this country is going to 💩💩💩 i must say 😢😢...i am grateful for evrything but is time to leave this circus 😢😢
Don't worry, the Polish government is also importing millions of transcontinental migrants. Soon you'll be able to go back and forth without any shock or surprise.
I actually agree with you, it is all about money. UK has been miserable and depressing for hundreds of years, it really isn't a new thing. What's changed is that currently, the wages in the UK for unskilled labour do not make up for the day to day grind here. If Thailand etc dint offer the chance to live locally at british wages , all this spirituality/happiness bs and this moaning about the "lack of culture" in the UK would go out the window
@@Rory_B_Bellowes I'm saying that the British working class only want to run off to Thailand so they can earn in pounds and spend in baht (which if you didn't know, is the currency of Thailand and is much weaker than the pound.
@@pierzing.glint1sh76 What you say about Thailand is quite true. I spent a lot of time there. Once you get passed the spectacular original impression, starting with those statues in the airport on your way to immigration, you soon realize that life over there isn't what it is cracked up to be. As time goes by you run into all sorts of social issues. Alcoholism is at the center of it. There is really nothing to do there. Just wall to wall bars and girls for sale. People are shallow and if you choose to live a more elevated life you will find it is almost as expensive as the UK or America. Completely agree with you about breaking out of the UK. I escaped when I was 28 in 1984. A blessed day!! The 1st July '84 when I kissed my mother goodbye at Heathrow was the best day of my life. In the UK I was never going to make any money or buy a house or afford to get married let alone have kids. I was college educated with skills and experience. I worked for Radio Rentals, Currys and Redifusion. However even as an electronics tech the money was just about enough to get by and you were ALWAYS in fear of losing your job. You stick to your guns my friend because you are RIGHT!!
It's hard having discussions with most adults about the state of the UK, because they haven't yet worked out the politicians are bought and paid for, and the decline is a managed one as part of a far bigger agenda. But yeah saying it's the same everywhere is a dumb argument. Let no one hold you back from moving for a better quality of life.
@@gk505 No I get it. Ultimately, it's one worldwide agenda and they are coming for everyone. In that sense you are right. However, no one can seriously claim that a person's quality of life will be no different living in different countries, different settings etc. My quality of life improved dramatically just by moving 30 miles in the UK - out of the city.
Our Governments are literally criminal gangs with different factions. Their job is to extort as much wealth from the livestock as they can. People think I'm exhaturating ... but I'm really not. Yes you get a couple of services for your $$$, they need to at least throw something to the peasants, to keep the facade going .... but the Mafia also provides some services to those it extorts
I came to the UK as a legal immigrant 20 years ago. During that time I've become a British citizen. Unfortunately I agree with everything that you're saying 100%. The country has gone downhill during the past 10-15 years, and it's only accelerating. I can't see it getting better. If i didn't have children, i would leave now. I will leave the UK as soon as I'm able to retire and I don't see my children staying here either. It's really sad. Every day at work i see apathy around me. People are not proud in what they are doing, they don't try to do their job well. All the contractors are charging 10 times what would be reasonable prices. I could fix a faulty door hinge myself in the office for no charge but I'm not allowed to. Instead they get a contractor to come in who charges £1000 for 30 mins work. And everybody thinks it's normal. I too have given up caring and can't wait to leave. I'm sad about this because i made a conscious choice to move here. I love the country, the culture, the people. I don't even mind the weather too much. But I now think the UK is broken beyond repair
I came back to the UK for the first time in years and was so happy to leave. I am 59 years old and the country I once knew has long gone. The sense of decay is palpable.
I am Filipino. I visited London recently. I felt the loneliness and disconnection among the people. How different from the sunny disposition of my fellow Filipino! Truly, as our Lord said, ‘ Man does not live by bread alone’.
As a Brit, and half Filipino (mothers side), she has spoken to me about being open about making my life in the Philippines later in my life for retirement. She’s already retired, and I feel for her. I’ve accepted if she wants to leave and go to the Philippines, with her sisters, it’s ok. She’s out there now for a month. So far she’s been to check properties and she’s sold on the idea for now. Grew up in Hong Kong (during a British rule) and here in England. I still love this country, but having experienced other lifestyles in other countries, over the past 20 years, it just seems like everything has stood still, while prices for everything, utilities, tax, transport, food has gone up and up.
I'm going there next year. We have some Filipinos at my workplace, and they are some of the nicest people I've met. I have even started to embrace their beautiful language.
London is not Britain. It’s certainly not English. It’s not an example of this country. But a state writhin a country that has been hijacked by evil people.
When I recall my childhood in the seventies I always remember the laughter amongst adults, I hardly ever hear that now. Everyone seems full of anger, rage and mistrust. The constant drip feeding of hate by the media for whoever happens to be in power just makes everyone even more intolerant of others and seemingly permanently dissatisfied.
Funny you should say that, having grown up in the 70's. I told someone the other day that you don't see impromptu football games in the park any more where total strangers join in.
I completely agree and relate with all you’re saying. I’m Polish, qualified accountant in the UK and currently selling the house to get the hell out of here! I’m earning enough to live here a good life but my word how miserable life is in England. Im leaving back to Poland and then will travel Europe to find the place. Absolutely cannot wait to see your journey too

I wish I was younger and had the opportunity to leave the UK. This country is going downhill fast, and I can't see things improving, and unfortunately, I'm stuck here. I can't understand the people who are up in arms with your decision and reasons to go. I'd be gone in a heartbeat if I could.
I’m 42 now, I moved to London in Aug 2020 from Canada, was having nervous breakdowns all the time from the living situations, men not wanting relationships, no real opportunities for self employment, no one wanted to collaborate on anything, people say they’re always busy when they just have horrible time management, their focus is football and drinking over health and fitness, and it’s extremely ageist for anyone over 35. Anyway, I was so depressed and self aware that nothing in England was aligning with me as a person that I moved to Cambodia in April 2023. It’s not amazing here, but so much better than England. I just needed to heal my mind after England and get my priorities straight. I wish I had left England right after I moved there, that place just eats your money and your soul 🤦🏼♀️
The British g'ment use football as a form of social control. If people are sitting on their sofas shouting at an opposing team they're obviously not protesting against the g'ment. I'm English, I've not had a boyfriend for decades simply because I can't find any depth in anyone anymore. I love Britain as a bunch of islands, my heart is here and I would succumb to dreadful homesickness if I left. But most people, and definitely the g'ment, have become soulless and it is literally breaking my heart. I want to wish you every bit of luck in life, put Britain behind you and be happy
Wow! I admire your tenacity Canada London, Ásia. Now retired left NL last year bought home in Azores, like you I followed my dreams and instincts. I hope Cambodia works for you.
Without a doubt there are 10’s of thousands of indigenous uk individuals who are actively leaving the UK as I type this message. I will be one of those leaving as soon as I’m able to sell my property in the UK. Don’t give the haters a second thought, they are just jealous that you have the opportunity to leave this cesspit and they don’t 😊
Sounds like what many native Californians are doing. Woke ideology in politics, DEI mandates and a culture obsessed with the ‘self’ is destroying it. We no longer have shared common values. When you bow at the altar of the ‘self’ you will suffer. We used to know that concept.
Thinking about Japan myself, then who knows. I moved from the UK years ago. Been in the Netherlands since. Was good, better living standards than the UK.. But after covid it's been a down hill slope. Normal people living month to month, while slouchers get a free ride. Infinite "refugees" won't end well. All the major trouble I've had, assault, abuse, harassment (middle of the day) have been from this imported underclass. The Dutch themselves are polite but generally cold and silently racist (also to other Europeans), they are being governed by the same degenerate and rentseeking elites as the UK. Now western governments talking about "exit taxes"... They want us trapped.
It is the same in Sweden. When I grew up - crimiality was repelled and behaving well rewarded. Then something happened and it was all reversed. You get a kick in the butt when you are behaving well and doing good.
I left the UK in 2016; it is a toxic culture… there are no perfect places but my quality of life and degree of enjoyment of life happiness have very much improved.
I am 42 and left the UK 12 years ago. I went to Spain and worked in Gibraltar and in the last 5 years moved to Bulgaria, Serbia and now living and working in Poland. Do i regret leaving? not for a moment as i feel every single one of these countries has or had more going for it than the UK has. You can never truly understand how strange and weird the UK culture and society is until you detach yourself from it for long enough and have experienced it as well as having have lived in other countries and societies. Everyone saying we should never leave are those who vote for the system they live in and seem to enjoy the situation they are in. Basically they are not worth listening to.

The problem with the UK is it's very expensive, services are poor and it has become an overregulated dystopia.I saw a 4 star hotel advertised in the Algarve before COVID, 600 quid a month for half board. That would barely pay the rent on a council house in the UK.
You notice the negativity as soon as you land at a British airport. It's a sharp contrast to life in Australia, where chasing money is not the primary reason for living. I left in 1998 and never looked back far more opportunities here. The Oxbridge and old networks stop people from working class backgrounds, getting top jobs in most sectors. Your infrastructure and Public services are so poor you only have to look at Portugal and Spain to see what investment looks like.
Chasing money is not happening in Australia ? Are you sure ? What about the ridiculous property prices. Australia is better for now but will have the same issues in another 10 to 15 years or sooner.
Just came across your videos today, I'm also a Scotsman, I've been living in SE London for the last 30 years. At 57 now and medically retired due to physical disabilities, I am stuck here, however, I tell most younger people I meet to get out of the western countries for their own sanity and futures. It may not mean much to you Daryl, coming from an older guy you don't know, but I'm so proud of you. You're young, fit and healthy and there's nothing wrong with taking care of your own future, I believe personally it's the only future we can take care of, our own. I wish you every success in your adventure through life. Keep safe and be happy. Cheers, Paul.
Why wife is from Lithuania, and we have made a decision to go Lithuania and live, it’s a beautiful country with good food, lovely people. Your not the only one that thinks the way you do, I earn 50k and have a family and am struggling financially, I had to move out of London as the average house price of £500,000 the uk is finished.
You are absolutely spot on with everything you say! I’ve caught up with your other videos on this topic and I agree with you 100%. I’m also planning to exit this country as it’s not the country it once was, and that’s sad - but also feels like a shift for the betterment of a lot of people (by them getting out). Kudos to you… my plan to exit may be a bit longer than I would want but this isn’t home for me anymore, that’s for sure!
Amen 🙏🏽 my grandfather would be ashamed of what the politicians have done to our country. I’m sick to death of paying for mass immigration legal or illegal. I don’t culturally recognise England anymore
It's become a totally different place since 1997 but the decline since 2020 has been extremely rapid & it's horrific. I don't blame anyone for getting out - it's the logical, sensible thing to do.
Daryl I left the UK in March 2021, retired early, and moved to North East Thailand It is not perfect here, but the points you make are valid Back in 2011 I predicted that within ten years living in the UK would be untenable due to demographic changes , woke and regulations controls that were being rolled out I left exactly ten years later escaped just in time. . Never fear change ....and good luck.
We have just returned from our holiday home in SriLanka Daryl. it has been such a cleansing effect. Ok, SriLanka has had many problems in the past but the country is starting to improve politically now. The people are predominantly Buddist and are lovely, honest and cheerful. and have much less than us. You are totally correct in what yo say and I do not blame you for getting out of this unfortunately ruined Britain. When we landed back on Thurs eve the sense of total negativity just hit us hard . I still work for a few more years, then I want out......

The people who say that it's the same everywhere in the world have got used to poor standards. I moved back to the UK in Sept 2022 and I regret it every day. The tube barely works, can't get an NHS dentist, having to fight for a GP appointment (over the phone), then having to wait weeks and months for the magical letter to come for your referral, disgustingly high rental prices and houses in London, piss-poor food and clothes - even M&S food and clothes aren't what they used to be, Sainsbury's taste the difference is not tasting any different, the crime in London - phone snatchings and stabbings and now shootings, low wages, high cost of living, dirty streets, etc etc etc. I came back because of family, but I'm trying to leave again. My quality of life in Asia was so much better now I can't even afford decent food and I'm paying so much for public transport that barely works. It's definitely NOT the same everywhere in the world.
Best of luck to you! I live in Oz. Moved here 25 years ago from Glasgow. Went back recently for a holiday and could not believe the decline in the City Centre. So upsetting. Still the best friendliest people tho. That hasn't changed.
I've just retired and I'm developing a plan to create an online business that means I can either emigrate or spend a proportion of the year abroad. I will certainly make sure any new business is operated from and registered abroad! I find I'm more and more happy just being in my apartment and every time I go out to do something I encounter hassle, rudeness, lack of consideration and v poor customer service at every level. I won't have a restaurant meal anymore, go to a pub and avoid human contact in shops where possible. Britain is just very very stressful and unpleasant, yes a dystopia where the individual is powerless.
I've been staying in my Country to fight for 50 years. Nothing changes. Better to run away and get out this place as early as you can in life and start enjoying your time on this Earth. Britain will never change.
The truth is.. they are doing this on purpose. They want to get rid of white people and nationalism. They want to create a "diverse" and divided slave class and ruling class. One world order.
I live in Finland, and left the UK in 2020. Like you, I also get the 'it's the same everywhere else' nonsense. Losers chant out this lie because they lack the get up and go to change their lives. So, they slate other people who do have the get up and go, because it makes them feel better about their own weakness and unwillingness to do something brave. I have loads of videos on my channel about what it is like living in Finland.
Philippines is a good place to go, English is almost a first language there, cheap cost of living too. £400pcm you could easily have a high rise condo with a sea view and a swimming pool. Yes UK weather sucks, from Oct - March. Filipino people really nice too. Im retiring in two years time. Two more crappy winters to go, then the UK ( Unhappy Kingdom ) will be a distant memory
I just returned after a month in Taipei. Saw my first morbidly obese woman living on borrowed time within ten seconds of landing at Gatwick. She was complaining the lift wouldn't work. The luggage carousel only started a full hour after landing. I guess all those migrant workers aren't really a "strength" after all. I had to catch a later train from Gatwick to Victoria as my intended one was behind schedule owing to the workers (migrants?) not bothering to turn up. Inside was standing room only and we were accosted by a beggar within ten seconds of leaving the station. The comparison between the tubes in London and Taipei is night and day. It was like returning to chaos after living for a month in an orderly country with pleasant people who leave you alone. Once again the tube was standing room only. Arriving at Kings Cross I could barely move for the amount of bodies. On the train back north I was shoved aside by a man in his sixties who offered no apology. Every seat was taken. Did I mention this was Sunday morning? Oh, and none of my paper tickets worked at any of the barriers and each time I needed help getting through the barriers. I had already come to the conclusion that I'm leaving this country but returning to England for a few months really pushes the envelope.
It's not just WW2 veterans who are dismayed, it's current serving military personnel that are dismayed with the state. No wonder they feel depressed when they return to civilian life when they likely think "I've just been fighting for the people of this country and look how they treat the place''. My heart lies in the UK but I know that I can't return to live there. It's far too negative and the middle classes are the ones who are being penalised the most. This is a controversial opinion, but what is the common denominator with these other countries? They hold on to their values and aren't letting other cultures take over (like what's happening in the UK).

It's heartbreaking to see what is happening to our once beautiful kingdom. Those of us born in the 70's knew a different country, times were good. When people say fight for your country, I imagine they are fighting for what we once had. We want the same freedoms and security for your generation and those that follow. Sadly, we have all been played by our government. The greed and corruption is difficult to comprehend. Good luck with your move. You are doing the right thing.
Cool, I'm also Nigerian, born here and had Scottish friends growing up, it's a small world it seems and yes you are right about freedom and speech, it's unavoidable for me to move away from London, don't have enough savings to do so and it's impossible to rent anything here by myself with properties being so expensive, it's a horrible situation for me that has left me in depression in my 40s too having to deal with a situation like this is beyond criminal 😢😢
I'm on the same journey Daryl. I leave uk Jan 21. Every word in your video rings true in my head. Thanks for being in my world and seeing things my way. I am following your journey. Good luck👍

Hi Daryl. Great update again. I posted a comment on your first video. I just had a week in Crete, Greece a week ago and even thought time was short and just a holiday, I woke up in the mornings feeling better, more energetic, and at peace. Did alot of walking in comparison, if I did alot of walking here in the UK, I would be tired, where as there I was full of energy. Peace and quiet, positive locals over there, warm sun and fresh air and on time bus service every 15 mins into the local main town. Very friendly staff in shops and the town and in general locals seemed very positive. Just thought I would share as on the same page as your points in this video. Thanks
Haha, same! I recently spent two weeks in Italy, off the beaten tourist path somewhat in an Air BnB rental in a beautiful little town, and tried to live as much like a local as I could. Went to the local market every day, walked all over the place and did some cycling too. Felt more energized, skin condition cleared up, lost 4kg in weight and just felt so much more relaxed.
Absolutely correct you also forgot to mention how bad dating is in the UK - very cold women, who have unrealistic high standards and are not loyal. So mannyyy better women outside this country and also better looking too. ITS A NIGHTMARE dating in London honestly. no culture, just pure westernised BS crap that's come from USA. the dating pool is only going to get worse.
Having been in a relationship with a Spanish woman, I feel the differance. English women aren't behaving like women at all. They are cold and lack femininity.
Very true I always look for foreign girls British girls have nothing to offer. Looks, attitude and faithfulness all score very low here and very few of them ever Garner my interest. They belong in a skip
To be fair, you probably just have unrealistic standards yourself. A lot of average looking or even ugly (old, bald, fat, dumb) men here expect an upgrade and they're not even wealthy. I'm an average looking woman (I've been told that I'm pretty by both English and foreign people but I think that I am average), I've been hit on by foreign men as well as English men but I don't expect an Adonis. In fact if a man was way above my looks level I would think there was an ulterior motive for him to be interested in me. I don't even like anyone on a dating site if he is way too attractive for me, so it's probably just the type of women you're pursuing...
@@lolahunnny He's probably not just talking about looks but also attitude. English females quite often have an unpleasant and self absorbed attitude. I've not noticed this kind of attitude when I've traveled overseas. And who wants to put themselves through that when they can look elsewhere?
The UK is awful, my mom recently got dementia and aocial care has forcefully taken her in. They will now be raiding her bank account as well as take her house to pay for the social care. Thats all the UK government is interested in, getting all your money as fast as possible.
same thing here in canada and our weather is worst. i have sold everything (my condo, all the furniture etc) and i will be out of the country in 3 days to latin america, specifically paraguay. you should make a discord channel where many of us who are leaving can collab on not only travel but leaving the rat race. i would do it but i dont have the same following as you do
Im a 31 year old Brit who just left London to move with my Aussie wife to the Mornington Peninsula just south of Melbourne. We're currently travelling around SE Asia for 3 months before fully moving to Australia. I totally agree with everyone you say about SE Asia, we've been here for 5 weeks currently in Thailand and everyday I say, I love Thailand. Its so beautiful here, the weather is generally amazing, the food is great, the people are so kind and respectful but they also know how to fight, they really dont hold back in Muay Thai fights. I keep getting culture shocks being here of how happy and safe it feels, you can genuinely leave all your stuff on a beach, swim in the sea and come back without any fear itll be gone, which you just cannot do in Europe and definitely not in the UK, it would be stolen in seconds. I hope you have a great life wherever you choose to live but really SE Asia is just a wonderful place in the world right now. The Australian mindset generally actually seems to share some of these ideals from what Ive experienced so far. Ive always found Aussies to be very warm, fun, great sense of humour and after visiting and staying there on and off for the last 3 years, Ive come to love the sense of community there is especially on the mornington peninsula. It doesnt hurt that it is absolutely stunning and the weather is much better than the UK (however much aussies complain about Melbourne weather, it is way better than London). Totally agree that sometimes you just have to be brave and move away from your country to improve your life, as hard as it is leaving your friends and family. You can always go back if things dont work out but if you dont try moving you'll never know what you may be missing in life.
I left over 20 years ago. I just felt the decline coming at a fast rate. I miss somethings about the UK as i go home most years to see my family. I just got back 3 weeks ago and the country has changed so much but unfortunately not for the better. Its ridiculously expensive now. Its just getting harder and harder to survive in the UK. 😮😮
I left the UK in 1999 as I knew my degree from a lower tier university would keep me trapped in the class system. Went to Australia, smashed it, never looked back, 20+ years now an expat. The UKs decline is similar to all western countries whose ruling class are following the World Economic Forum playbook, which includes a facilitated covert invasion by Islamic men from Africa and the Middle East. Sweden took 150k in 2015 as a test case.
I’d genuinely like to know the reason why Sweden did what they did with immigration? I have read it was to “make the country multicultural”, but I believe there’s more to it than that😢 They, the UK & other European countries are regretting it now. It even turned the laid back/welcoming Dutch people into horrible people & I don’t blame them. Of course none of the a***holes in power have to be affected by any of this😢😮
Can't argue with anything you said. I went to Australia last year. When I landed back at Heathrow I noticed how the building was crumbling. After travelling through Singapore and Dubai as well as Oz it was shocking to see the contrast at Heathrow. Weather is crap, streets are not safe. Good luck to you. My wife doesn't see it, so I'm stuck here for the time being.
God, I hate Heathrow Terminal 2, especially that awful ear-piercing squeaky "nails-down-a blackboard" long escalator you have to ride. Haven't you Brits heard of grease?
@ooo-w7q5x ......the Africans are coming to rebuild UK again - theyre putting Africa on hold meantime as were a special case.........they left UK to build pyramids last time - allegedly.
Love to know what exactly you think makes him an asset to the country. If he has any discernable skills, he wouldn't be earning below national average wage.
The BEST thing that can happen in the UK is if all the rich do leave, no honestly... tax revenue's collapse, the government again raises taxes to plug the gap and MORE people leave. Eventually the government will be in utter dire straits and realise they have to cut, cut, cut spending and taxes. The Benefits system which is now like 70% of government spending if you include NHS, WILL collapse and be completely cancelled for all but the most needy in society, nobody able to walk will get any benefits, none of this living off the government for the rest of your life due to "depression" that will be gone. And then what will be the result of the benefit system stopping. No more illegal migrants. All the ones already here will leave to find other countries with functional welfare system still in place and the country will slowly start to recover again when corporation tax is at 10% and income tax lowered to very low levels to bring rich people back. Problem is that it could take another 30 years to play out.
@@M-eu7qw We will just have to have a France/Germany style health care system. The NHS is an utterly wasteful socialist organisation with DEI staff training and loads of unnecessary managment staff, and you can't do anything to cut from NHS because they'll just go on strike from the gravy train. Doesn't help that the same people who are for the NHS also advocate for as many illegal migrants to come here as possible which is one of the main reasons why the NHS is failing, too many people with like 50% of its users that pay nothing into the system. The collapse of the NHS is already a guarantee its just a matter of "when".
I'm almost ten years ahead of you, I got out in 2015; before that, I was working three jobs from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. to attempt to meet the requirements to get my Chinese wife to live with me in the UK. After six months, I had to give up or end up dead. I moved to China and wish I had done it sooner. China restored my human rights, mainly the right to family life. I have a child, a home, a car, and my own company. I can eat out twice a day, it feels like the 1980s, and I'm never happier. Young people should get out of the UK. The United Kingdom is lost; every party that’s been in power for the previous 30 years have been traitors.

@@MichaelMcKenna-w7l My final few years in the UK may be summarised as follows: everyone is a mouse, clawing their way to the bottom of a rotting barrel. Every now and again, someone thinks it's a good idea to add rats to the barrel and hopes the two will get along. Even if they borrow long and hard, there is no prize at the end, only a pit of water. Those who drown or escape are lucky; those who stay will face a darker fate. A bloodbath over the right to claim the putrid barrel as their own.
I left my country 23 years ago. I do not regret it. If I was a lad right now, I would get the f out of Europe. The west is done. I would go to Russia, Vietnam or Thailand, Malaysia. You're making the right move man.Ita gonna get worse and worse, I have no doubt about it.

Excellent video! (I watched in on faster speed because I was so excited 🤣) I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL and I'm ROOTING FOR YOU ALL THE WAY! 🏆 I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback on your imminent travels! Thanks 😁👍
I totally agree with you! I lived in the US for 16 years and now living in the UK for over 7 years and I tell you that so far I couldn't get used to anything in here. Your words are my words!
Daryl, I totally agree with you on the U.K. I live in Northern Ireland and am hoping to get out of here next year. I should have already moved to France last year but some family problems meant staying for longer than I wanted. I can’t see any future in the U.K. or Ireland, maybe Europe is finished too, but if I am going to spend my days in Europe then I want it to be in France, living in an old stone rural cottage surrounded by my books and DVDs. Good luck with your travels, I have just subscribed so will be following you. 👍
Some odd years ago, a guy who I was interning with from Italy said that in this country (UK) people tend to be colder. The reason was one day he was at a bus stop and it was raining, a lady he worked with saw him in the rain without an umbrella and wouldn't share it with him. He said in his home country that it's unlikely that would have happened.
I totally agree. In this country you are tracked, pay huge amounts in tax and if you speak up you'll be thrown in jail for long sentences just for words. You don't have to look as far as Asia. Spain for example is very cheap, you feel a lot freer and the weather is great. I went out for breakfast with coffee all for 3.20 euros. I'm going through the process of ditching the UK. Good luck in yours.
If housing was affordable on an average wage like it was in the 90s then it wouldn't be too bad. When people are spending most of their income on cost of living with not much left to enjoy then its a miserable existence. People have had enough of work, worry, eat, sleep repeat.
Most Asian countries have plans to go cashless, Thailand says they'll be cashless by 2028, can't escape the agenda that's coming by 2030. I fully agree with everything you said though, can't wait to get out of UK myself. Britain is 3rd world living for 1st world prices.
I’m early 50’s. In the process of selling up and living permanently in the Philippines. Have spent the last 3 winters there are as a test run, yes there are issues, but overall the living standard is far better (assuming an income of circa £1,000) happy people, healthy lifestyle, pride in the nation, wonderful nature etc
Argentina 🇦🇷 - Spent 3 months there and would trade the UK for it any second (and working on it) point on infrastructure - it's top notch - public transport is constant and runs 365 (I tested it on Christmas day and it's true) even general workers keeping the streets clean etc.. you'd be lucky to see a general keeper in the UK after noon on a Friday!
Daryl some advice from a retired 64 yr old. At 40 you need to settle quickly in a career so you will have built up a pension. Time goes by so so fast. If you keep planting and replanting yourself all over the world before you know it you're 40. You are very polite gentleman I wish you the best. I left America when I was your age 38 to the Netherlands. Learned Dutch before leaving America. Had a great 23 years in the Netherlands. Retired early now living in Azores.
@menoswater1032 I studied music in US, worked as musician before immigrating. Before leaving US i worked as Finance consultant. Worked in Finance 16 years in Netherlands part time musicians weekends
Hi Daryl, I'm spaniard and a follower of yours from Madrid. I'm impressed by your videos about the bad situation in your country. I really like your English pronunciation and I listen to you carefully to practice listening and understanding English. With you I learn to understand English and the things you say are impressive. I wish you the best. Please continue with your long videos and your comments and I'm sure you'll do very well on your trips to other countries.
Very best of luck. Good move. My sons - and me - have all left the UK. Covid woke me up. The world is a corrupt dystopia. But there are pockets of happiness to be found - with fabulous weather. Don't look back
I been wanting out for years. The UK is being destroyed by the political class who are in the pay of the WEF. But I have my daughter who is not fully awake and my dog (who I will not let have any vaccines). If it was just me I would have left years ago.
@uncomfortabletruth8976 ......tell your daughter youre leaving the UK and give her the choice of coming with you.............If she says no then just go and do it - she can visit you.......if she says yes she will find out shortly she made the right decision once she sees how much nicer other places are...............NEVER EVER LET ANYTHING HOLD YOU BACK...........I dont have my health these days otherwise id have sold up and been out of here 10 years ago.
Yes.......I've never met more miserable people! I used to dread returning to the UK........ and now I don't think I will again, I'm getting permanent residency in Armenia ❤. I wish you all the best, we only live once! 🎉😊
Wish I'd have woken up years ago. Took the two jabs unfortunately but on a detoxification protocol might help. Without getting myself in trouble... if you're awake 👋 😊
Hi Daryl. I agree with everything you said about the UK. Used to live abroad and went back to the UK for 4yrs but couldn't stay because of the negativity and seeing the people being taken for a ride. Me and my husband realised our standard of living was becoming unattainable so we left 3 years ago. My advice is to go for it, you only have one life so go and live it. We wish you all the best.
You are right mate, honestly do what feels right for you. I been traveling the world in my younder years and 8 yeard ago moved to the uk. I love this country, its' heritage and nature and coastline and i feel home here. But i also feel my time here is coming to an end. I folow geopolitics and i dont like the road this county is going. Therefore im not gonna stay. And for those that suggest to stay and fight for better life- my life is too short to waste on fighting. I want peace, i want joy, i want happiness... and i go where it feels right for me.
Like Daryl I also live in Edinburgh, and he's absolutely right in every regard. Edinburgh isn't as bad as some UK cities but it's getting worse very fast, copying the same problems as elsewhere. The city centre now has permanent tented homeless for the first time, with drug addicts wandering about; petty crime has become a problem, the sense of safety the city once had has long gone. It's hard to accept that the situation has gone beyond the point of no return, but all the evidence suggests it has, especially for places like London and the many towns & cities of industrial England. Legal immigration is just as bad as illegal immigration (the real population now perhaps as high as 100M), there's simply too many people, demand vastly exceeds supply, wrecking the rental/housing markets, damaging services, stoking inflation, jamming the roads, etc. And note that "illegal immigrant" is an oxyromon, as 'immigrant' implies some form of legal process, but that isn't present if entry has been unlawful. I can understand why they come, the attraction of our free stuff system is considerable. The system of free stuff needs to be severely curtailed, otherwise it will simply collapse, and if that happens the scale of civil disorder will be enormous. As it stands, there's no way the state pension system and other structures like the NHS (or rather the IHS, the International Health Service as it now is) can remain viable for the long term, those paying into it now with still one or two decades to go are going to get screwed. Heck, even those retiring right now will see their numerical payments afford them far lower spending power than ought to be the case, ruined by immigration policy and inflationary spending. Native Brits have been denied ingroup preference by the state for decades (all governing parties have done this), a cultural norm which is encouraged for every other ethnic group. It has been said that there is no route out of this mess via the ballot box, which is probably true, because even if as Carl Benjamim recently discussed, all immigration was stopped entirely, dealing with those who have already come, both legal and illegal, and the cultural damage they have induced, poses vast problems in all sorts of ways. I remember thinking Rotherham would be a turning point, but in the event nothing happened. Some suggest mass expulsion, but the degree of violence required to enforce such a thing would be horrendous, leaving a terrible legacy in its wake, but the fact that some are even suggesting such a thing, despite the obvious lessons of history, shows just how desparate and fed up a lot of native Brits have become. It's easy to make simplistic comments about what to do, but I've yet to see anything realistic, especially since people would ultimately have to vote for it, and in general women will not vote to reduce or end free stuff or impose secure borders, nor vote to shrink the size of the state which has become too expensive. The largely pro-govt voting block of female NHS workers alone is sufficient to prevent the adoption of any sensible solutions via the current electoral process. Hence it will just be a continual slide toward collapse, in which case leaving becomes the only logical conclusion, for those who are able. If it were not for family responsibilities, I would certainly leave. For some, an intermediate solution is probably to move to a far more rural, remote or island area elsewhere in the UK, but that cannot escape the broader economic problems (nor the escalating cost of living in such places) or, as you say, the inclement weather. Why did my Grandfather face bullets and bombs in WW2? I honestly couldn't say, looking at what has been wrought by all govts since. It's a cultural and demographic betrayal made all the worse because those mostly responsible remain forever distanced from the consequences of their actions. In centuries past the populace could revolt, such as in France, but I don't think Brits have the stomach for that sort of thing, certainly not for the reality of what it would truly involve, and in a nation where populations live so densely packed, the potential for civil chaos with all that entails would be beyond imagining. Urban centres rely on fragile systems of food, transport, power, water, etc. Societal collapse may be the inevitable outcome of the damage currently being done, but deliberately trying to induce it out of frustration, without any viable plan afterwards, nor without broad public support for such action, would be suicidal and pointless.
Well done. Your views are well thought out and eloquently put. You may be thought of by others as a pessimist, but you are telling us the reality and the truth about the loss of our once wonderful country. I too believe that society as we once knew it has gone forever. It's Heartbreaking. x
Hi Daryl you talk so much sense, i left the UK some 26 years ago didnt move to far away though only 1500 miles south of UK to the sunshine island of Malta and now for the last 8 years on the sister island of Gozo, the climate here is beautiful we have 300 days a year sunshine english speaking locals and virtually zero crime. On Gozo we have a great community spirit and everyone is so friendly i can relate to your comments about spirituality in a big way.
sounds lovely . many have and are also going to bulgaria but their winters are pretty tough . i love some fun in the snow in the alps and a few times at home but not for months and it would not be a treat anymore either . also the canary islands are really nice and very good weather and being so nearby .
I’m loving your videos mate, I’ve subscribed as I find them uplifting to watch because of your great attitude. Looking forward to seeing where you’re headed. All the best from an Aussie Downunder.😃
I agree Daryl, that's most of the reasons I'm leaving, as this country is totally miserable. I'm usually a cheerful person but like you, it's grinding me down, especially the weather too.
I can guarantee to those doubters that countries like Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam Don't have parking permits, parking meters, parking fines, overpriced public transport that's Always delayed/cancelled/littered with people's nasty trash/empty cans and left over food. I can bet that those same SE Asia countries don't have an epidemic of thieves on electric bikes stealing people's phones. I can bet they Don't have ridiculous TV licence and council tax where councils don't Actually help nurture and take care of their boroughs but instead tear down parks, playgrounds, youth clubs and refuse to mow the communal garden area that has overgrown in the last 3yrs. If people wanna stay miserable in the west, owning nothing and pretending to be happy.. Go Ahead. I'm planning to get to Thailand this time next year, permanently, and spend my days travelling throughout the East/North Asia.
I built houses in Thailand for my daughters. They have their own homes from day one, never to be in debt. Eldest just finishing college, debt free. Moved into her 2200sqft villa, debt free. Drives a Toyota Vios, debt free. Family have farms and plantations and tractors debt free. I set all this up starting in 2001. All prepper style with creature comforts... to be debt free. Glad I never moved the kids to the West. We'd be in horrific debt or worse.
@@vernylee I commend your effort to stand up for the UK, but the only way you will be debt free here is to literally work and do NOTHING else, there is no work/life balance here, I think that is what makes people so miserable here, whereas in places like Thailand and other countries he is mentioning, people go to the beach and have fun in their spare time, the UK weather is just not designed for this type of lifestyle and this what allot of people want and they will never find it in the UK so they choose to leave which is fair enough. There is a reason thy are thinking of bringing an Exit Fee.
@@vernylee But do you actually own homes and farms and real assets outright? And from a young age? I could do it for the kids in Thailand, but no chance in the UK. Personal circumstances. I think a lot of these people talking about emigrating to Thailand haven't got a clue what they're going on about and are really embarking on extended and rather expensive holidays. Visas under fifty and especially work permits beyond TEFL are a nightmare. Language barrier and so on too. UK is okay for some, I think a lot of people are often running away from themselves. This is the last comment I'll make on this thread, because I really don't want to get drawn into the same old expat to and fro. Did all that 20+ years ago, it's old hat.
@@MotorsportUK2009 well thats not true for everyone, i live and work here have a good work life balance and i live very comfortably and have zero debt, no credit card and no overdraft.

Go for it. My husband & I love Spain & Portugal, we fly there from Darwin Australia. We moved from Sydney because it is getting busy. Look forward to following your journey🎉 we are boomers at end of life. Good decision to find a soulful life.
You're right about London, whatever you experience up in Scotland, it's 2-3x more expensive, dangerous, stressful even lower percapita value.

@HanzBlitz-i8t 'Stay and fight' for the very same people that happily denied other people entry to one of their establishments because they refused to participate with the 'one size fits all magic potion' debacle in 2020, I don't think so. Glad I left the UK in 2007. Silly little country
@AlexP1-y4g Here in the US it is so vast most people will look for another place here before leaving and I'm glad I did. I found the Potomac Highlands region of West Virginia to be a safe haven from most of the absurdity in the west, very cheap, very beautiful, very private and independent. However.. job opportunities are very limited, it's poor, it's rugged, emergency response times are about 1 hour and that's moving fast, food and shopping options are extremely limited. Not sure this would be most guy's cup of tea, I have a feeling especially most guy's from the UK wouldn't like it.
Not that long ago I flew in from Suvarnabhumi and arrived at LHR (depressing), and made my way to the Heathrow Bus Terminal (seriously depressing). Total reverse culture shock. Britain really is the third world, not Thailand. p.s. The Thais managed to built a huge new modern airport in the middle of BKK, and completely refurbish Dom Mueang (which was already very nice). What have we done recently? - the disaster that is HS2, and we're still talking about a third runway at Heathrow! LOL!
I left the UK in January 2021. The minute Thailand opened back up I was gone. I saw the Orwellian indicators loud and clear for a long time. I spent two weeks confined to a hotel room in BKK just to be able to enter. Thailand has issues and it's following the West in so many aspects. Me , my Thai wife and child are now looking elswere. Matarilsm has its grips on Thai culture and the current government are pulling all sorts of Orwellian tricks out of the playbook!....
Very interesting you say this as I've noticed thailand is unfortunately clearly losing its idyllic persona. where do you think you'll look to move to from Thailand?
I fully support you leaving the UK. I left 10 years ago and live in Thailand. My only question is, are Thai people easy to talk to? The English level is very low here. If a person choices to live in Thailand, committing to learn the language is very important. Thankfully, that's an easy way to obtaining long term VISAS.
I'm 38, moved to Scotland from Ontario Canada about 4 months ago. Im currently living and working for people who briefly lived in Canada years ago and they're all stunned that I would come to the UK. In just the past 5 years, Canada is a very different place then they remember or feel it is. I'll just say it.. Canada sucks. It's so big and underpopulated that its very hard to see much of it and its expensive to travel. Im very much a nature lover and the amound of distance I would have had to travel to see a mountain or the ocean is insane. I'll miss the truly backwoods camping and lake swimming in summer... but I wont miss the prices, the Trudeau tyranny, the wholesale importation of India, the constant self-flogging on behalf of colonization and pretending I deserve it, and the long brutal winters. I know the UK has most of these issues and worse in some regards.. but im content for the moment being up in Scotland and watching the population crash/migrant take over from somewhere remote and beautiful, where the people dont seem to pay much attention to it or arent aware of whats happening yet. My family history is here and I love this country. I want to work hard and contribute and earn my place here.. I just pray its a place my kids will be glad I chose in the future.
Good for you mate. I agree completely. I love our history and everything that we have done as a country, but its been so badly ground down for the last 40 years

What UK, Europe, US and the "West" is currently experiencing, is a function of the final stages/end game of a 100 year cycle (social, political, economic). They can be correlated with dominant currencies which only have a certain 'shelf-life' (roughly 100 years), and history tends to repeat in this respect (study cycles re: USD, GBP, French Franc, Spanish Peseta etc). Each dominant currency experiences a decline in value over an approximate 100 year cycle, where its value diminishes exponentially. Once a dominant currency is devalued to a certain point, a new hegemonic/dominant group will be on its upward trajectory to take its place. The disharmony and decline manifests as a sort of collective disregard for what would have been traditionally viewed as "common sense", overt hedonism, nihilism, breakdown of traditional ideas of community(amongst many other things), and eventual decay. There is sense and wisdom in moving to a region on its upward trajectory, but do your homework.
Came across your videos I think because of my recent video I posted about leaving the UK. But I'm so glad I did. Excited to see your journey! I miss my friends and a lot of things about the UK but sadly it was just so expensive and falling apart and I had to leave so I could get better medical care.

where did you go?
British here, from Newcastle. I so agree with your points. I’m 32, did everything I was told career-wise, worked my way up to a good job and salary but found myself in the plug for 60 hours a week, for years. I had no life at all and ended up burnt out. I decided to go freelance but found so much more bad behaviour and bad sportsmanship in business, local councils and with clients and it drove me to depression this summer. I can feel that people in the UK have lost the will to fight for better. We’ve allowed energy companies, corporates, food suppliers and politicians to chip away any the good things we had and squeeze more money out of us. We lost our industry, our skillset and our usefulness. The only pride we can have is for relics of the past. We can’t cook anymore, recognise good food and restaurants are taking your eyes out for low quality cooking and ingredients (I know this, I was a chef!) But for the majority of us Brits, as long as we ‘look’ like we’re alright, that’s all that matters, whether it’s real or not. ‘Me first’ mentality. A lot of my friends are crippled with debt keeping up this ideal. Job security is so low, most jobs only want to hire under 21s, and it’s impossible to rent on your own unless you’re in a secure relationship. I moved back home with my mum because it was better to pool our resources in this economy - I honestly can’t see myself having good enough reason to rent alone again. I made an effort to date this year and everybody I met just talked about their own lives and never asked a question back. Self-centeredness is just baked into modern British society now, I see it so much every day and I’ve totally lost my faith in people in the street. Community is gone, replaced with self-scan, online shopping and bulldozed community centres. It’s weakened us and we’ve let it, so we lost any cohesion to recognise what is happening to us and push back. I noticed how bad antisocial behaviour is now, the area I live in used to be a nice area we we knew who the neighbours were, they’re all old and dying, and now I have new, young neighbours and I don’t even know their names. There used to be kids playing football outside in the streets now they’re completely deserted. I’ve spent periods of time living in Asia, East Africa and South America and found a rich, breathing culture, identity and sense of unity. The UK has lost that. I recently decided to leave my chef career, retrain in teaching English as a foreign language and make plans leave and start over somewhere better.
I’m in a somewhat similar situation. I’m 31 and I moved up North in Scotland in the hopes of building up a new group of friends, meeting a girl etc. Well it turns out people up here aren’t that bothered about making new friends, and tbh I’ve barely even seen a girl I’m interested in bar the odd one that is almost certainly a tourist. The whole point in moving here was to settle down and fit in to a community. The reality is that I’m just an outsider looking in, so hopefully I can sell my house asap and move abroad- most likely to Australia where my brother lives.
Cos I’m also at that age where my friends are having kids etc or just barely make any effort to meet up any longer. I feel like I should be enjoying my daily life instead of merely existing. Anyways I’m taking control- getting the house put up for sale soon and then leaving. I’m done making effort with people who don’t reciprocate it and also done living in a country whose politicians clearly hate the indigenous population.
I’m 55 and left 25 years ago to Germany, I remember Newcastle to be a very friendly place. It all started with Thatcher privatization of everything, destroying communities and telling us the individual and making money came first. Destroyed the unions and the working class and the economy and left most of us poor. It’s just gotten worse and worse and worse. I was over in Edinburgh this summer. You can see the corruption. Tax payers money is not being spent on the public. Germany has also gone right down hill since I came here and will never be the same again but it’s not got uk self destruction levels yet. It hurts me to see what’s happening.

As time goes by you run into all sorts of social issues. Alcoholism is at the center of it. There is really nothing to do there. Just wall to wall bars and girls for sale. People are shallow and if you choose to live a more elevated life you will find it is almost as expensive as the UK or America.
Completely agree with you about breaking out of the UK. I escaped when I was 28 in 1984. A blessed day!! The 1st July '84 when I kissed my mother goodbye at Heathrow was the best day of my life.
In the UK I was never going to make any money or buy a house or afford to get married let alone have kids. I was college educated with skills and experience. I worked for Radio Rentals, Currys and Redifusion. However even as an electronics tech the money was just about enough to get by and you were ALWAYS in fear of losing your job.
You stick to your guns my friend because you are RIGHT!!
So true
I left England in March. No mortgage, no neighbours, surrounded by forest. Best thing we ever did!
which country?
It's hard having discussions with most adults about the state of the UK, because they haven't yet worked out the politicians are bought and paid for, and the decline is a managed one as part of a far bigger agenda.
But yeah saying it's the same everywhere is a dumb argument. Let no one hold you back from moving for a better quality of life.
@@gk505 No I get it. Ultimately, it's one worldwide agenda and they are coming for everyone. In that sense you are right.
However, no one can seriously claim that a person's quality of life will be no different living in different countries, different settings etc. My quality of life improved dramatically just by moving 30 miles in the UK - out of the city.
Our Governments are literally criminal gangs with different factions. Their job is to extort as much wealth from the livestock as they can. People think I'm exhaturating ... but I'm really not.

I came to the UK as a legal immigrant 20 years ago. During that time I've become a British citizen. Unfortunately I agree with everything that you're saying 100%. The country has gone downhill during the past 10-15 years, and it's only accelerating. I can't see it getting better. If i didn't have children, i would leave now. I will leave the UK as soon as I'm able to retire and I don't see my children staying here either. It's really sad.
Every day at work i see apathy around me. People are not proud in what they are doing, they don't try to do their job well. All the contractors are charging 10 times what would be reasonable prices. I could fix a faulty door hinge myself in the office for no charge but I'm not allowed to. Instead they get a contractor to come in who charges £1000 for 30 mins work. And everybody thinks it's normal. I too have given up caring and can't wait to leave. I'm sad about this because i made a conscious choice to move here. I love the country, the culture, the people. I don't even mind the weather too much. But I now think the UK is broken beyond repair
Absolutely spot on! I genuinely feel sorry for those people who cannot escape.
I came back to the UK for the first time in years and was so happy to leave.
I am 59 years old and the country I once knew has long gone.
The sense of decay is palpable.
I am Filipino. I visited London recently. I felt the loneliness and disconnection among the people. How different from the sunny disposition of my fellow Filipino! Truly, as our Lord said, ‘ Man does not live by bread alone’.
I’m a Londoner and I’ve moved to the Philippines permanently because of that very thing! Salamat kayo and god bless 🙏
As a Brit, and half Filipino (mothers side), she has spoken to me about being open about making my life in the Philippines later in my life for retirement. She’s already retired, and I feel for her. I’ve accepted if she wants to leave and go to the Philippines, with her sisters, it’s ok. She’s out there now for a month. So far she’s been to check properties and she’s sold on the idea for now. Grew up in Hong Kong (during a British rule) and here in England. I still love this country, but having experienced other lifestyles in other countries, over the past 20 years, it just seems like everything has stood still, while prices for everything, utilities, tax, transport, food has gone up and up.
I'm going there next year. We have some Filipinos at my workplace, and they are some of the nicest people I've met. I have even started to embrace their beautiful language.
London is not Britain. It’s certainly not English. It’s not an example of this country. But a state writhin a country that has been hijacked by evil people.
Magandan umaga, Philippines is now my second home and the people are the thing I love most.
When I recall my childhood in the seventies I always remember the laughter amongst adults, I hardly ever hear that now. Everyone seems full of anger, rage and mistrust. The constant drip feeding of hate by the media for whoever happens to be in power just makes everyone even more intolerant of others and seemingly permanently dissatisfied.

I wish I was younger and had the opportunity to leave the UK. This country is going downhill fast, and I can't see things improving, and unfortunately, I'm stuck here. I can't understand the people who are up in arms with your decision and reasons to go. I'd be gone in a heartbeat if I could.
I’m 42 now, I moved to London in Aug 2020 from Canada, was having nervous breakdowns all the time from the living situations, men not wanting relationships, no real opportunities for self employment, no one wanted to collaborate on anything, people say they’re always busy when they just have horrible time management, their focus is football and drinking over health and fitness, and it’s extremely ageist for anyone over 35. Anyway, I was so depressed and self aware that nothing in England was aligning with me as a person that I moved to Cambodia in April 2023. It’s not amazing here, but so much better than England. I just needed to heal my mind after England and get my priorities straight. I wish I had left England right after I moved there, that place just eats your money and your soul 🤦🏼♀️
The British g'ment use football as a form of social control. If people are sitting on their sofas shouting at an opposing team they're obviously not protesting against the g'ment. I'm English, I've not had a boyfriend for decades simply because I can't find any depth in anyone anymore. I love Britain as a bunch of islands, my heart is here and I would succumb to dreadful homesickness if I left. But most people, and definitely the g'ment, have become soulless and it is literally breaking my heart. I want to wish you every bit of luck in life, put Britain behind you and be happy
Wow! I admire your tenacity Canada London, Ásia. Now retired left NL last year bought home in Azores, like you I followed my dreams and instincts. I hope Cambodia works for you.
Canada is also in the sh_t. The W.E.F are all over that country. Its on a massive decline 😅

Without a doubt there are 10’s of thousands of indigenous uk individuals who are actively leaving the UK as I type this message. I will be one of those leaving as soon as I’m able to sell my property in the UK.

If it wasn't for my family I'd be on the1st flight out, this country is ridiculous.
Sounds like what many native Californians are doing. Woke ideology in politics, DEI mandates and a culture obsessed with the ‘self’ is destroying it. We no longer have shared common values. When you bow at the altar of the ‘self’ you will suffer. We used to know that concept.
Thinking about Japan myself, then who knows. I moved from the UK years ago. Been in the Netherlands since. Was good, better living standards than the UK.. But after covid it's been a down hill slope. Normal people living month to month, while slouchers get a free ride. Infinite "refugees" won't end well. All the major trouble I've had, assault, abuse, harassment (middle of the day) have been from this imported underclass. The Dutch themselves are polite but generally cold and silently racist (also to other Europeans), they are being governed by the same degenerate and rentseeking elites as the UK. Now western governments talking about "exit taxes"... They want us trapped.

You can never truly understand how strange and weird the UK culture and society is until you detach yourself from it for long enough and have experienced it as well as having have lived in other countries and societies.

The problem with the UK is it's very expensive, services are poor and it has become an overregulated dystopia.I saw a 4 star hotel advertised in the Algarve before COVID, 600 quid a month for half board. That would barely pay the rent on a council house in the UK.
You notice the negativity as soon as you land at a British airport. It's a sharp contrast to life in Australia, where chasing money is not the primary reason for living. I left in 1998 and never looked back far more opportunities here. The Oxbridge and old networks stop people from working class backgrounds, getting top jobs in most sectors.
Your infrastructure and Public services are so poor you only have to look at Portugal and Spain to see what investment looks like.
Chasing money is not happening in Australia ? Are you sure ? What about the ridiculous property prices. Australia is better for now but will have the same issues in another 10 to 15 years or sooner.
I have a friend who moved to the UK 3 months ago and he's already decided to leave.
Lol not surprising.
Just came across your videos today, I'm also a Scotsman, I've been living in SE London for the last 30 years.

The people who say that it's the same everywhere in the world have got used to poor standards. I moved back to the UK in Sept 2022 and I regret it every day. The tube barely works, can't get an NHS dentist, having to fight for a GP appointment (over the phone), then having to wait weeks and months for the magical letter to come for your referral, disgustingly high rental prices and houses in London, piss-poor food and clothes - even M&S food and clothes aren't what they used to be, Sainsbury's taste the difference is not tasting any different, the crime in London - phone snatchings and stabbings and now shootings, low wages, high cost of living, dirty streets, etc etc etc. I came back because of family, but I'm trying to leave again. My quality of life in Asia was so much better now I can't even afford decent food and I'm paying so much for public transport that barely works. It's definitely NOT the same everywhere in the world.

I just returned after a month in Taipei. Saw my first morbidly obese woman living on borrowed time within ten seconds of landing at Gatwick. She was complaining the lift wouldn't work. The luggage carousel only started a full hour after landing. I guess all those migrant workers aren't really a "strength" after all. I had to catch a later train from Gatwick to Victoria as my intended one was behind schedule owing to the workers (migrants?) not bothering to turn up. Inside was standing room only and we were accosted by a beggar within ten seconds of leaving the station. The comparison between the tubes in London and Taipei is night and day. It was like returning to chaos after living for a month in an orderly country with pleasant people who leave you alone. Once again the tube was standing room only. Arriving at Kings Cross I could barely move for the amount of bodies. On the train back north I was shoved aside by a man in his sixties who offered no apology. Every seat was taken. Did I mention this was Sunday morning? Oh, and none of my paper tickets worked at any of the barriers and each time I needed help getting through the barriers. I had already come to the conclusion that I'm leaving this country but returning to England for a few months really pushes the envelope.

It's not just WW2 veterans who are dismayed, it's current serving military personnel that are dismayed with the state. No wonder they feel depressed when they return to civilian life when they likely think "I've just been fighting for the people of this country and look how they treat the place''. My heart lies in the UK but I know that I can't return to live there. It's far too negative and the middle classes are the ones who are being penalised the most. This is a controversial opinion, but what is the common denominator with these other countries? They hold on to their values and aren't letting other cultures take over (like what's happening in the UK).

Hi Daryl. Great update again. I posted a comment on your first video. I just had a week in Crete, Greece a week ago and even thought time was short and just a holiday, I woke up in the mornings feeling better, more energetic, and at peace. Did alot of walking in comparison, if I did alot of walking here in the UK, I would be tired, where as there I was full of energy. Peace and quiet, positive locals over there, warm sun and fresh air and on time bus service every 15 mins into the local main town. Very friendly staff in shops and the town and in general locals seemed very positive. Just thought I would share as on the same page as your points in this video. Thanks
Haha, same! I recently spent two weeks in Italy, off the beaten tourist path somewhat in an Air BnB rental in a beautiful little town, and tried to live as much like a local as I could.

Absolutely correct you also forgot to mention how bad dating is in the UK - very cold women, who have unrealistic high standards and are not loyal. So mannyyy better women outside this country and also better looking too. ITS A NIGHTMARE dating in London honestly. no culture, just pure westernised BS crap that's come from USA. the dating pool is only going to get worse.
Having been in a relationship with a Spanish woman, I feel the differance. English women aren't behaving like women at all. They are cold and lack femininity.

Very true I always look for foreign girls British girls have nothing to offer. Looks, attitude and faithfulness all score very low here and very few of them ever Garner my interest. They belong in a skip
To be fair, you probably just have unrealistic standards yourself. A lot of average looking or even ugly (old, bald, fat, dumb) men here expect an upgrade and they're not even wealthy.
I'm an average looking woman (I've been told that I'm pretty by both English and foreign people but I think that I am average), I've been hit on by foreign men as well as English men but I don't expect an Adonis. In fact if a man was way above my looks level I would think there was an ulterior motive for him to be interested in me.
I don't even like anyone on a dating site if he is way too attractive for me, so it's probably just the type of women you're pursuing...
@@lolahunnny He's probably not just talking about looks but also attitude. English females quite often have an unpleasant and self absorbed attitude. I've not noticed this kind of attitude when I've traveled overseas. And who wants to put themselves through that when they can look elsewhere?

same thing here in canada and our weather is worst. i have sold everything (my condo, all the furniture etc) and i will be out of the country in 3 days to latin america, specifically paraguay. you should make a discord channel where many of us who are leaving can collab on not only travel but leaving the rat race. i would do it but i dont have the same following as you do
Im a 31 year old Brit who just left London to move with my Aussie wife to the Mornington Peninsula just south of Melbourne. We're currently travelling around SE Asia for 3 months before fully moving to Australia. I totally agree with everyone you say about SE Asia, we've been here for 5 weeks currently in Thailand and everyday I say, I love Thailand. Its so beautiful here, the weather is generally amazing, the food is great, the people are so kind and respectful but they also know how to fight, they really dont hold back in Muay Thai fights. I keep getting culture shocks being here of how happy and safe it feels, you can genuinely leave all your stuff on a beach, swim in the sea and come back without any fear itll be gone, which you just cannot do in Europe and definitely not in the UK, it would be stolen in seconds.
I hope you have a great life wherever you choose to live but really SE Asia is just a wonderful place in the world right now. The Australian mindset generally actually seems to share some of these ideals from what Ive experienced so far. Ive always found Aussies to be very warm, fun, great sense of humour and after visiting and staying there on and off for the last 3 years, Ive come to love the sense of community there is especially on the mornington peninsula. It doesnt hurt that it is absolutely stunning and the weather is much better than the UK (however much aussies complain about Melbourne weather, it is way better than London).
Totally agree that sometimes you just have to be brave and move away from your country to improve your life, as hard as it is leaving your friends and family. You can always go back if things dont work out but if you dont try moving you'll never know what you may be missing in life.
I left over 20 years ago. I just felt the decline coming at a fast rate. I miss somethings about the UK as i go home most years to see my family. I just got back 3 weeks ago and the country has changed so much but unfortunately not for the better. Its ridiculously expensive now. Its just getting harder and harder to survive in the UK. 😮😮

I left the UK in 1999 as I knew my degree from a lower tier university would keep me trapped in the class system. Went to Australia, smashed it, never looked back, 20+ years now an expat.

I’d genuinely like to know the reason why Sweden did what they did with immigration? I have read it was to “make the country multicultural”, but I believe there’s more to it than that😢 They, the UK & other European countries are regretting it now. It even turned the laid back/welcoming Dutch people into horrible people & I don’t blame them. Of course none of the a***holes in power have to be affected by any of this😢😮

The BEST thing that can happen in the UK is if all the rich do leave, no honestly... tax revenue's collapse, the government again raises taxes to plug the gap and MORE people leave. Eventually the government will be in utter dire straits and realise they have to cut, cut, cut spending and taxes. The Benefits system which is now like 70% of government spending if you include NHS, WILL collapse and be completely cancelled for all but the most needy in society, nobody able to walk will get any benefits, none of this living off the government for the rest of your life due to "depression" that will be gone. And then what will be the result of the benefit system stopping. No more illegal migrants. All the ones already here will leave to find other countries with functional welfare system still in place and the country will slowly start to recover again when corporation tax is at 10% and income tax lowered to very low levels to bring rich people back. Problem is that it could take another 30 years to play out.
@@M-eu7qw We will just have to have a France/Germany style health care system. The NHS is an utterly wasteful socialist organisation with DEI staff training and loads of unnecessary managment staff, and you can't do anything to cut from NHS because they'll just go on strike from the gravy train. Doesn't help that the same people who are for the NHS also advocate for as many illegal migrants to come here as possible which is one of the main reasons why the NHS is failing, too many people with like 50% of its users that pay nothing into the system. The collapse of the NHS is already a guarantee its just a matter of "when".
I'm almost ten years ahead of you, I got out in 2015; before that, I was working three jobs from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. to attempt to meet the requirements to get my Chinese wife to live with me in the UK. After six months, I had to give up or end up dead. I moved to China and wish I had done it sooner. China restored my human rights, mainly the right to family life. I have a child, a home, a car, and my own company. I can eat out twice a day, it feels like the 1980s, and I'm never happier. Young people should get out of the UK. The United Kingdom is lost; every party that’s been in power for the previous 30 years have been traitors.

Daryl, I totally agree with you on the U.K. I live in Northern Ireland and am hoping to get out of here next year. I should have already moved to France last year but some family problems meant staying for longer than I wanted. I can’t see any future in the U.K. or Ireland, maybe Europe is finished too, but if I am going to spend my days in Europe then I want it to be in France, living in an old stone rural cottage surrounded by my books and DVDs. Good luck with your travels, I have just subscribed so will be following you. 👍
Some odd years ago, a guy who I was interning with from Italy said that in this country (UK) people tend to be colder. The reason was one day he was at a bus stop and it was raining, a lady he worked with saw him in the rain without an umbrella and wouldn't share it with him. He said in his home country that it's unlikely that would have happened.
I'd say the further South you go in the UK the less friendly people are. Scottish people are extremely friendly.

I totally agree. In this country you are tracked, pay huge amounts in tax and if you speak up you'll be thrown in jail for long sentences just for words. You don't have to look as far as Asia. Spain for example is very cheap, you feel a lot freer and the weather is great. I went out for breakfast with coffee all for 3.20 euros. I'm going through the process of ditching the UK. Good luck in yours.
If housing was affordable on an average wage like it was in the 90s then it wouldn't be too bad. When people are spending most of their income on cost of living with not much left to enjoy then its a miserable existence. People have had enough of work, worry, eat, sleep repeat.
Most Asian countries have plans to go cashless, Thailand says they'll be cashless by 2028, can't escape the agenda that's coming by 2030. I fully agree with everything you said though, can't wait to get out of UK myself. Britain is 3rd world living for 1st world prices.

Daryl some advice from a retired 64 yr old. At 40 you need to settle quickly in a career so you will have built up a pension. Time goes by so so fast. If you keep planting and replanting yourself all over the world before you know it you're 40. You are very polite gentleman I wish you the best. I left America when I was your age 38 to the Netherlands. Learned Dutch before leaving America. Had a great 23 years in the Netherlands. Retired early now living in Azores.
Hey sir. May I ask what you did for work?

Hi Daryl.
I agree with everything you said about the UK. Used to live abroad and went back to the UK for 4yrs but couldn't stay because of the negativity and seeing the people being taken for a ride.
Me and my husband realised our standard of living was becoming unattainable so we left 3 years ago.
My advice is to go for it, you only have one life so go and live it. We wish you all the best.
Bravo to you and your quest to live and thrive! Continue to inoculate yourself against the negativity. I suspect it comes from a place of envy.
You are right mate, honestly do what feels right for you. I been traveling the world in my younder years and 8 yeard ago moved to the uk. I love this country, its' heritage and nature and coastline and i feel home here. But i also feel my time here is coming to an end. I folow geopolitics and i dont like the road this county is going. Therefore im not gonna stay. And for those that suggest to stay and fight for better life- my life is too short to waste on fighting. I want peace, i want joy, i want happiness... and i go where it feels right for me.
Like Daryl I also live in Edinburgh, and he's absolutely right in every regard. Edinburgh isn't as bad as some UK cities but it's getting worse very fast, copying the same problems as elsewhere. The city centre now has permanent tented homeless for the first time, with drug addicts wandering about; petty crime has become a problem, the sense of safety the city once had has long gone. It's hard to accept that the situation has gone beyond the point of no return, but all the evidence suggests it has, especially for places like London and the many towns & cities of industrial England.
Legal immigration is just as bad as illegal immigration (the real population now perhaps as high as 100M), there's simply too many people, demand vastly exceeds supply, wrecking the rental/housing markets, damaging services, stoking inflation, jamming the roads, etc. And note that "illegal immigrant" is an oxyromon, as 'immigrant' implies some form of legal process, but that isn't present if entry has been unlawful. I can understand why they come, the attraction of our free stuff system is considerable. The system of free stuff needs to be severely curtailed, otherwise it will simply collapse, and if that happens the scale of civil disorder will be enormous. As it stands, there's no way the state pension system and other structures like the NHS (or rather the IHS, the International Health Service as it now is) can remain viable for the long term, those paying into it now with still one or two decades to go are going to get screwed. Heck, even those retiring right now will see their numerical payments afford them far lower spending power than ought to be the case, ruined by immigration policy and inflationary spending.
Native Brits have been denied ingroup preference by the state for decades (all governing parties have done this), a cultural norm which is encouraged for every other ethnic group. It has been said that there is no route out of this mess via the ballot box, which is probably true, because even if as Carl Benjamim recently discussed, all immigration was stopped entirely, dealing with those who have already come, both legal and illegal, and the cultural damage they have induced, poses vast problems in all sorts of ways. I remember thinking Rotherham would be a turning point, but in the event nothing happened. Some suggest mass expulsion, but the degree of violence required to enforce such a thing would be horrendous, leaving a terrible legacy in its wake, but the fact that some are even suggesting such a thing, despite the obvious lessons of history, shows just how desparate and fed up a lot of native Brits have become. It's easy to make simplistic comments about what to do, but I've yet to see anything realistic, especially since people would ultimately have to vote for it, and in general women will not vote to reduce or end free stuff or impose secure borders, nor vote to shrink the size of the state which has become too expensive. The largely pro-govt voting block of female NHS workers alone is sufficient to prevent the adoption of any sensible solutions via the current electoral process.
Hence it will just be a continual slide toward collapse, in which case leaving becomes the only logical conclusion, for those who are able. If it were not for family responsibilities, I would certainly leave. For some, an intermediate solution is probably to move to a far more rural, remote or island area elsewhere in the UK, but that cannot escape the broader economic problems (nor the escalating cost of living in such places) or, as you say, the inclement weather.
Why did my Grandfather face bullets and bombs in WW2? I honestly couldn't say, looking at what has been wrought by all govts since. It's a cultural and demographic betrayal made all the worse because those mostly responsible remain forever distanced from the consequences of their actions. In centuries past the populace could revolt, such as in France, but I don't think Brits have the stomach for that sort of thing, certainly not for the reality of what it would truly involve, and in a nation where populations live so densely packed, the potential for civil chaos with all that entails would be beyond imagining. Urban centres rely on fragile systems of food, transport, power, water, etc. Societal collapse may be the inevitable outcome of the damage currently being done, but deliberately trying to induce it out of frustration, without any viable plan afterwards, nor without broad public support for such action, would be suicidal and pointless.
Well done. Your views are well thought out and eloquently put.
You may be thought of by others as a pessimist, but you are telling us the reality and the truth about the loss of our once wonderful country.
I too believe that society as we once knew it has gone forever.
It's Heartbreaking. x
Hi Daryl you talk so much sense, i left the UK some 26 years ago didnt move to far away though only 1500 miles south of UK to the sunshine island of Malta and now for the last 8 years on the sister island of Gozo, the climate here is beautiful we have 300 days a year sunshine english speaking locals and virtually zero crime. On Gozo we have a great community spirit and everyone is so friendly i can relate to your comments about spirituality in a big way.
sounds lovely . many have and are also going to bulgaria but their winters are pretty tough . i love some fun in the snow in the alps and a few times at home but not for months and it would not be a treat anymore either . also the canary islands are really nice and very good weather and being so nearby .

I agree Daryl, that's most of the reasons I'm leaving, as this country is totally miserable. I'm usually a cheerful person but like you, it's grinding me down, especially the weather too.
I can guarantee to those doubters that countries like Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam Don't have parking permits, parking meters, parking fines, overpriced public transport that's Always delayed/cancelled/littered with people's nasty trash/empty cans and left over food.
I can bet that those same SE Asia countries don't have an epidemic of thieves on electric bikes stealing people's phones.
I can bet they Don't have ridiculous TV licence and council tax where councils don't Actually help nurture and take care of their boroughs but instead tear down parks, playgrounds, youth clubs and refuse to mow the communal garden area that has overgrown in the last 3yrs.
If people wanna stay miserable in the west, owning nothing and pretending to be happy.. Go Ahead.
I'm planning to get to Thailand this time next year, permanently, and spend my days travelling throughout the East/North Asia.

I think a lot of these people talking about emigrating to Thailand haven't got a clue what they're going on about and are really embarking on extended and rather expensive holidays. Visas under fifty and especially work permits beyond TEFL are a nightmare. Language barrier and so on too.

Not that long ago I flew in from Suvarnabhumi and arrived at LHR (depressing), and made my way to the Heathrow Bus Terminal (seriously depressing). Total reverse culture shock. Britain really is the third world, not Thailand. p.s. The Thais managed to built a huge new modern airport in the middle of BKK, and completely refurbish Dom Mueang (which was already very nice). What have we done recently? - the disaster that is HS2, and we're still talking about a third runway at Heathrow! LOL!
I left the UK in January 2021. The minute Thailand opened back up I was gone. I saw the Orwellian indicators loud and clear for a long time. I spent two weeks confined to a hotel room in BKK just to be able to enter. Thailand has issues and it's following the West in so many aspects. Me , my Thai wife and child are now looking elswere. Matarilsm has its grips on Thai culture and the current government are pulling all sorts of Orwellian tricks out of the playbook!....

Very interesting you say this as I've noticed thailand is unfortunately clearly losing its idyllic persona. where do you think you'll look to move to from Thailand?
Also from what country did you moved from to go to Thailand?
I fully support you leaving the UK. I left 10 years ago and live in Thailand. My only question is, are Thai people easy to talk to? The English level is very low here. If a person choices to live in Thailand, committing to learn the language is very important. Thankfully, that's an easy way to obtaining long term VISAS.

I'm 38, moved to Scotland from Ontario Canada about 4 months ago. Im currently living and working for people who briefly lived in Canada years ago and they're all stunned that I would come to the UK. In just the past 5 years, Canada is a very different place then they remember or feel it is. I'll just say it.. Canada sucks. It's so big and underpopulated that its very hard to see much of it and its expensive to travel. Im very much a nature lover and the amound of distance I would have had to travel to see a mountain or the ocean is insane. I'll miss the truly backwoods camping and lake swimming in summer... but I wont miss the prices, the Trudeau tyranny, the wholesale importation of India, the constant self-flogging on behalf of colonization and pretending I deserve it, and the long brutal winters.
I know the UK has most of these issues and worse in some regards.. but im content for the moment being up in Scotland and watching the population crash/migrant take over from somewhere remote and beautiful, where the people dont seem to pay much attention to it or arent aware of whats happening yet. My family history is here and I love this country. I want to work hard and contribute and earn my place here.. I just pray its a place my kids will be glad I chose in the future.

What UK, Europe, US and the "West" is currently experiencing, is a function of the final stages/end game of a 100 year cycle (social, political, economic). They can be correlated with dominant currencies which only have a certain 'shelf-life' (roughly 100 years), and history tends to repeat in this respect (study cycles re: USD, GBP, French Franc, Spanish Peseta etc). Each dominant currency experiences a decline in value over an approximate 100 year cycle, where its value diminishes exponentially. Once a dominant currency is devalued to a certain point, a new hegemonic/dominant group will be on its upward trajectory to take its place. The disharmony and decline manifests as a sort of collective disregard for what would have been traditionally viewed as "common sense", overt hedonism, nihilism, breakdown of traditional ideas of community(amongst many other things), and eventual decay.
There is sense and wisdom in moving to a region on its upward trajectory, but do your homework.
Well said
