The UK is not London. This is what irritates me about people commenting on life in the UK. I live in Scotland, have an ok job, my own house, and live fairly comfortably. There's no way I'm leaving this green grass land for a dustbowl in the Middle East to live from a laptop 🤣
sure other UK place are better than london, but when you check east europe 90% plus they own their flats houses by age 35, in UK or EU 80% they pay rent or mortgage age 55-60

Yeah, London's basically the Eurocancer of the UK. Most of them voted remain, then voted Khan back in as Mayor after what he's done to the place. We should fence it off, then charge people who want to exit for a certain period.
I'm 28. Left for Eastern Europe 2 years ago and can confidently say it's been the best decision I've ever made. London and the UK more widely as a society has totally failed.

@@BrunO-dy9roreality ppl on benefits are generally lower skilled - they are not magically going become go getting entrepreneurs if their benefits are cut back.
@@BrunO-dy9ro You can't just cut the benefits, you also have to cut taxes and regulations to stimulate economic activity. The barriers to entry for starting a business in the UK are exceptionally high right now compared to most of history and most of the world. You can't just set up on a street corner and start selling stuff, it's illegal. If you want to buy and sell things via ebay, you need a lot of money down to get started and the fees are so high it suffocates any small players. Rents are high and taxes are another 50% again just on the rent, and that's before VAT and taxes on profits and wages, plus other key overheads such as bills. We are taxed to death and it's why so many businesses simply fail. The businesses that don't fail mostly run on exceptionally thin margins. There is no "moderate, easy success" in the UK when it comes to running a business. If you don't simply fail then you're either scraping by or very successful. Moderately sized family businesses bringing in healthy margins are rare.
@Hashterix ermmm sorry but i havent mentioned anything about businesses, to be completely honest I feel like you just went on a rant from an entrepreneur/small business owner perspective. Cutting on benefits is going to repel complacent and lazy people away and it will also force the people who cannot leave to do something for themselves and be productive in this country. I am an immigrant and I worked very hard, sleepless nights studying to get where I am. The gov is inciting laziness and complacency. It's annoying and disheartening.
UK is a punitively taxed, low pay culture, welfare state with terrible weather. If i were a young person I would definitely leave. The money is there to do anything we wanted, it's just that the politicians waste so much of it and the state is far too big and costly.
Yup. The state is now acting unlawfully. The DWP, and HMRC and Police can now do all sorts, seize assets, all sorts, no court order required. Basically it’s a criminal state acting unlawfully. I’m currently having issues with inheritance. I think their attitude is, they mortgaged your assets, that’s how they’re 1 trillion in debt, and they say you then gave them the money to spend, Thank you very much, but when you sell that asset they seem to think, you mortgaged it, gave them the money so it belongs to the Government not you. Seriously, trying to get hold of our money is a nightmare. Took six months to get our money from applying to cash in premium bonds. The Nazis did something similar….guns not butter translated into save, don’t spend. Savings accounts soared, mostly opened in Government owned post office savings accounts. Little did they realise their money was all converted into Government bonds and in effect stolen. The only way it could be honoured was by printing money.

@@youtischia NHS is a shambles. Severely understaffed, Clueless DR's and "Specialists" Lack of specialists so you have to travel all around the UK to see a certain specialist. I've seen patients in beds out in the corridors on a freaking stroke ward because there's no rooms, while there was a whole ward shut down from being understaffed. You are tripping if you think the NHS is good. Health care is much better in other countries even those in EU. Sure you have to pay, But its better than getting taxed your whole life for terrible care system that is failing.
You missed the elephant in the room - I take it unintentionally - massive uncontrolled immigration from the Middle East and Africa, which is completely changing the fabric and soul of the country.
I left in 1996 before Tony Blair. I went back 3 weeks ago after a break of 10 years since the last time I was there. After 2 weeks it was clear to me that it is no longer my home. Listening to my friends talk about life and seeing what their children have to go through despite having degrees was beyond depressing.
I left London after 15 years, went to the hospital emergency twice, at Royal Free Hospital- in Hamstead… They had hundreds of people waiting, in pain. There was a massive cardboard at the entrance saying: “Minimum waiting time 10hrs” “Please, be kind, be patient with our staff, they're trying their best to help everyone …. It was a horrible experience to see and hear the screaming patients at the emergency in pain. I was praying to God to take me out of there. And so it did.

I broke my leg in the UK. Went to Worcester hospital where I was put in plaster for 6 months. Once out of the plaster I had a noticeable twist in my leg below the knee, where the break had healed. I travelled to the UAE later than anticipated because of the broken leg and it was causing me pain, so went to hospital within a few weeks of arriving. Within 2 hours I had been examined, had an x-ray and had a CAT scan. The surgeon, in nice language basically said, "What an absolute shite job". He basically said he could put it right. Within a few weeks my leg was re-broken and pinned straight. They had me walking with a crutch within a week. After a couple of months my leg was straight and pain free and still is 9 years later. I will do my very best to avoid UK hospitals from now on. The surgeon was from Lebanon, so was clearly good at battlefield damage. lol. He was also a man who knew his craft, so I am very fortunate.
Same thing here 🤚 London 2022 I waited 8 hours only to see the doctor, the waiting room was full of patients screaming and mostly BLEEDING! And still waiting!! It was fucking horrible

I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago. I left the UK 9 years back and have been living tax free, earning 5 times my UK take home pay. I am also in the UAE but in Abu Dhabi, living by the ocean. The summer is very hot, but for 6 months of the year, the weather is like a British summer. I did not leave the UK because I did not like it. I actually love my country. I left because progression is blocked in every aspect. There are so many talented people from the UK living and working across the world, helping other countries progress, because their own country is controlled by bell ends. In Abu Dhabi I have an English Dentist and an English Doctor and many of my work colleagues are British. They are all exceptionally good at what they do because they love their job and social life. People are allowed to progress. It is a free and fair society, despite the utter garbage written about it by the UK press. Sure, the UAE has its quirks, but every society has the same. The financial people in the UK run the show and they are all about stuffing their own pockets at the expense of everyone else. Until that culture is bought in line, the UK will always be going backwards, and talented people will continue to leave. That is the long and short of it. The brain drain is real and getting worse.
@@Ryoko007 My 2 kids were grown up. both were in university in the UK, so that kind of helped with the decision. I am a specialist in a very narrow field, so that also helped as I was head hunted to come out here. Having a job secured, all I had to do was get my professional documents attested in the UK and UAE before travelling. You have to obtain a UAE Visa, which lasts 3 years, so if you can secure a job in the UAE before travelling, the company PRO can do the leg work for you. If you want to come out and find a job, it can be difficult as most companies prefer to use people who already have an emirates Visa. Schools are very expensive over here. If you have kids, a company may or may not offer financial help for this. It is also important that the medical insurance is of a good level and covers all the family. Private medical over here is exceptional compared to the UK, even if the cover is at a lower level. The government/non-private hospitals are around the same level as the NHS in the UK. Companies have to provide medical insurance by law. Once you have your emirates Visa (Takes a few weeks) you are allowed to rent property. Property can be anything from a studio apartment to 8-bedroom villas, so it depends on budget. In Abu Dhabi, a 3 bedroomed Villa cost for annual rent can be anywhere from GBP 20k to GBP 50k, depending on location. Rent is usually charged annually upfront. propertyfinder.ae is a great website to assess rental costs. A company may also help in this area as well, by paying property rent directly. Salaries can be confusing as they have several categories. My wage slip has basic salary, housing, transport and a few other items. There is no income tax. There is a final salary scheme, so every year you work for a company, they will add either a week or a month of your basic salary to a pot. When you leave the company, all of the money will be paid as a final salary. An example being if you worked for a company for 5 years and they placed 1 month's basic salary in the pot for each year, your final salary will have 5 months basic pay plus what you earned for the last month. (Unless you are fired for gross misconduct). When I first came across, I travelled on my own and was out here for a couple of months until my wife travelled over. We have lived here ever since. I am now under a golden Visa, so I do not have to worry about visa renewal every 3 years. The golden Visa gives you 10 years without renewal. To get the golden Visa you either have to buy property, own a company or have professional experience to contribute to the UAE economy. I am fortunately in the latter category.
@@Ryoko007 It is better if you can secure a job before moving over. If you have a professional qualification, you need to get your documents attested in the UK and UAE. If all goes well and you get a job, it is better to travel on your own first as it takes a few weeks to get your Visa sorted. Once the Visa is in place you can open a bank account and rent a property before bringing the family over. Companies have to provide medical insurance by law. It can vary depending on the companies' practices. If you have kids, school fees are expensive, so ensure your salary can cover rent, day to day living and school fees. A 3 bed Villa can be anywhere from GBP 30k to 50K rent per year, depending on location. Apartments are usually cheaper. Rent is the equivalent of paying tax in the UK. Despite the eye watering cost compared to the UK, you have to remember that you don't pay income tax. I am not very careful and usually have more than 50% of my salary left over at the end of the month. Something that I could only dream about in the UK.
One thing I notice in England is a kind of blinkering going-on. There is an invisible cordon put around talking about the actual direction we are taking. I make a point of asking the simple question: 'In your estimation, will Britain be a better place or a worse place in five years?' No prizes for guessing what the 100% reply is.
I'm sick of this phoney rhectoric. The country has gone to shit because the populace kept on voting the Tories in. Maggie Thatcher introduced the Right to Buy which upended housing, they also privatised everything making utilities and transport more expensive. The Cameron introduced austerity cuts which destroyed public services such as the NHS, then just to add injury to insult they introduce Brexit which has made everyone poorer, and then to really take the piss Liz Truss tanked the economy with her head banging budget which raised everyone's rents smd mortgage. None of this real life events and political choices which Brits made has anything to do with immigrants living in the country.
I grew up in London, born here. I love parts of the UK, the rich history, the humor, country side. But as a NHS Nurse of 10 years, struggling to get my own house i gave up.

I see more and more ppl are speaking about this. Living in London is terrible especially because this 50% tax after 50k (50k is just to cover basic needs in London, lol). There is no perspective to build your wealth unless you've inherited a House 🏠.
To be clear, there is no 50% income tax in the UK (check the government website on income tax). From £12,570 to £50,270, you pay 20%. From £50,271 to £125,140, you pay a further 40% on whatever you earn in this bracket. Anything that you earn above £125,141 is 45%. Correct as of 3rd June 2024. It's still a ridiculous amount to pay. Cost of living is so high and it's not easy to save.
@@Trepines real tax is 50%... 40 or 45% income tax plus national insurance. As you have no choice to not pay, this meets a tax definition. Plus for living in London you pay ridiculous ULEZ fees and public transport per day might reach 20 pounds. Quality, reliability of trains/tube might have been impressing 50 years ago but not now. Rubbish city believe me.

I currently live in Spain and I can assure you that the reputation Spain enjoys of having good food is not justified. Many years ago Spanish food was good, now it’s the same supermarket standard as the rest of the EU. It’s poor man’s Italy for food.
The rich and poor divide keeps getting bigger year by year. I left the UK over 20 years ago because I saw all the curruption and injustice and the double standards. It is the capital of hypocricy. It use to be a traditional country but it's all gone now, so sad. Your spiting out facts brother👍
Without decent job prospects with even halfway decent pay, without affordable homes, there is literally no room anymore for the low paid. Yet the low paid are precisely the ones who are least able to leave the country to better their prospects, not while every single penny they have goes into merely existing.
The UK has gone kaput and it is very sad to admit this. I am in my 40's and I am going to another country to start over. My age is not an issue because I am going to launch a business wherever I decide to go and I will do remote work to get by if need be. Things went south for the UK when that Goblin Blair came to power in 1997 and squandered the UK's emergency fund on things that the UK didn't need or want. The UK moved most of its production jobs overseas and that was the beginning of it all. 1992 onwards, the UK has gone to pot and there is no one willing or caring enough to turn it around. If the UK gets lucky enough to get business minded leaders in charge and the change from a negative attitude to the happy go lucky positive attitude then things can turnaround. But I am not holding my breath and I am going to live somewhere tropical to start over.

The UK has many problems, I do not think anyone would disagree, however much of what you say is a global phenomenon. As much as what you say is correct, there are very few alternatives which are long-term. Yes you can go to certain places such as the UAE, but their rules can change, it is difficult to settle there and even attain a passport. If the UK has problems I am sure your country of birth has even more, however I am sure you do not critisize your country of origion. This is the exact reason you probably moved to the UK. Despite the issues, the UK is still a great place for people whos second language is English, provides good levels of economic stability (and political) and is a great place to initiate a career or education (as well as attaining a British passport, if you are not from the West or a developed nation). I think advising everyone to leave is a bit stupid, as it depends on the circumstance. NOTE, I am not a British native, and hence not a patriot, but there is still much the UK offers compared to other countries.
The irony is that around 150k Hong Kong ppl have moved to UK so far since 2021. I heard many White British move away because there's too many Middle Eastern/ African ppl. But the irony is these White British ppl tend to move to Dubai which is mainly Middle Eastern ppl🤦♂️🫤🤷♂️
Middle Eastern countries, know the dangers of extremist Islam, and clamp down on it. The UK welcomes and encourages extremist Muslims as they haven‘t got a clue. They project Christian, tolerant and respectful values onto ‘everyone’, blind to the reality that they are welcoming in a sharia Trojan horse.
Some of the Hong Kong BNOs are actually flowing back to Hong Kong because they realised Democracy is not what it was made out to be. Like the price to pay in terms of taxation and the sheer dive in the quality-of-life is just not worth the freedom to talk trash about your government. Meanwhile, Hong Kong has topped a record number of visits into Mainland China. We are talking about 1 millions trips made by HKers during the Easter period out of a population of 7.5 millions people. A LOT of Hong Kongers are warming to China now. People like to think that politics and ideology matter... No... Not when your everyday live is fill with frustrations and you just can't see the end of the tunnel. And by the way, I grew up in UK. Graduated in 2010 with a Civil Engineering degree but couldn't find work in UK because of the 2008 Subprime. Moved to Hong Kong and landed in a job within a week and stayed here since. So I know UK, HK and China quite well. Eventually it came to a point when you realised that there is no point having a voice when the politicians don't listen. Wouldn't I be MORE of a slave if I still opted to live in a country where I am treated worse by a wide margin?
I agree with some of what you said here but I think there's something that you missed (which is the main reason I'm leaving): the erosion of personal freedom. The UK is slowly building one of the most totalitarian countries in the entire world. Already we have a "do as your told" culture that I despise with a passion. CCTV tracks you everywhere. Restrictions on freedom are slowly creeping forward. It's sad. It's why I want to leave. This weather and culture stuff is just barking up the wrong tree for me.
Leave and go where exactly? The problems in the UK are the same all over the Western world, especially the mass immigration of low paid third worlders. I love Britain and the cool cloudy weather is better than over hot countries.
Not quire > There are places, where life is much less expensive and safer, that can still be considered Western. Poland, Czhech republic, the Baltics. Heck > Greece, Croatia, Montenegro too. If you're more adventurous > Bulgaria, Romania. You have the same you got in UK, (faster and cheaper ) internet, shopping malls, access to ( better and cheaper ) healtcare and ( better and cheaper ) food and education. Property is cheaper. Weather is better in some of these places. Crime rate is lower than UK for most of them. I think people are somewhat biased towards 'The underdevelopped Easterlings' but reality is different.

I'm currently watching this video. As a near 40 year old English bloke many points in this video are relevant (weather for example lol). The UK is a great place to be if ones attitude is one of greed. If your a wealthy landlord its great because you can ramp up your prices whether you need to or not because people need a place to live and ramp up your own bank account at the expense of others in the process. If your a greedy tradesman you can go and charge an old lady £200 for half hours work and brag about it to your mates. You can also indulge on junk food all day and no one will bat an eyelid. You can also work an incredibly important job, work loads of hours at minimum wage and the above people will be more than happy to exploit you lol!! That being said, I love the UK and in most cases its down to the individual to try and act in a relatively human way. Good regards to all.

I started with nothing, and while my friends and acquaintances were partying and wasting their time and money I wasn't. I tolerated being called mean and tight. At 27 I owned a decent 3 bedroom bungalow ( no mortgage ) and entered semi- retirement. Fully retired at 35. I left the UK for good at age 25, in 1979. I've tried to teach some of my past 35 different tenant how to improve their lives, but they all proved to be losers. Unskilled or welfare bludgers, with zero self motivation.
An absolute lie. The UK is set up for the rich and the elites. If you're neither. You're going to struggle. The rich and elites love middle and working classes blaming immigrants. You should research in to how the UK Government and Middle/Working classes are losing assets at levels not seen since the Victorians. And here's a hint: the assets and capital aren't going to the immigrants.
The UK is actually in an economic and demographic death spiral. Not enough Brits having children, combined with a huge needy elderly population and humongous government economic mismanagement. Brexit wasn't going to change that (the EU has similar issues) and the UK isn't going to change for the better anytime soon.
@@klawlor3659 hence why it's a sinking ship. even if the migrants were conquered and deported. the country is really in a spot of bother. hence why people are jumping ship. I jumped ship to europe from africa and even im heading off again. THATS how bad it's gotten in the last 10 years.
Well I totally disagree. I’m an American, living in the beautiful English countryside, and I love it here. Can I just point out first of all that London, and large cities in general, are *completely* different to the rest of England; the rest of England I would consider the *real* England. There are thousands of beautiful, historic and traditional villages, hamlets, market towns and small cities across the English countryside, that are not only fantastic places to live (unless you’re a big city person of course) and explore, but are filled with fantastic people that are; once again, totally different to London/ many large cities. The people I know and associate with here do not possess the culture that you describe in this video. Pub culture in the countryside is very different to the big population centers such as London. I will say, however, that most Europeans in general can be more negative/ slightly cold (especially compared to Americans), but most in my day-to-day life in Suffolk that I come across are kind, friendly, talkative and overall positive (that’s European positive - so much more understated compared to the US). I do not know a single person that is leaving the United Kingdom. I feel this should have perhaps been directed towards London? I mean I personally would never wish to live in London, as I am definitely *not* someone that likes big cities, although I do still like visiting as a tourist a couple of times a year because it obviously has a lot to offer (and is the second most visited city in the world). If anyone is interested in why I love living here then I’d be happy to share in more detail (e.g. much safer, much better work life balance, food produce is to a much higher standard, everywhere is walkable, not having to rely on a car, the rich history and historic sights at every corner - my passion etc). I also want to address something else you said in this video about crime (which I disagree with), but I’ll leave it in a comment directly below this.
Let’s do a comparison with western countries: 1. Homicides (per 100,000 people): - Australia 0.9 - Germany 1.0 - U.K. 1.1 - Sweden 1.1 - France 1.3 - Belgium 1.7 - Canada 2.25 - USA 6.3 You can see the big jump with the US, whereas the U.K. is the same as other similar western nations, and does extremely well when you compare it to the rest of the world. 2. Firearm related homicides (per 100,000 people): - U.K. 0.02 - Germany 0.06 - France 0.12 - Australia 0.15 - Belgium 0.25 - Sweden 0.5 - Canada 0.52 - USA 4.46 Again, you see this difference, and the U.K. has the lowest of this crime in the world (alongside Japan), so it’s almost non-existent there. 3. Knife related homicides (per 100,000 people): - Germany 0.23 - France 0.33 - U.K. 0.34 - Sweden 0.35 - Belgium 0.36 - Australia 0.48 - Canada 0.49 - USA 0.60 The difference isn’t as stark here, but that’s because this type of crime isn’t as common as others in the US, and the U.K. favors similarly to its neighbors. 4. The USA has over 65 cities with a homicide rate of between 11 to 87 per 100,000 people, London is one of England’s most dangerous cities and yet only has a rate of 1.5 per 100,000 people (that’s 10-80 times smaller by comparison). There are hundreds of cities in the US with a rate over double London’s. For example, Look at the highest homicide rate cities within each country (per 100,000 people): - Germany 1.5 Frankfurt - England 2.0 Manchester - Belgium 2.9 Brussels - Scotland 3.1 Glasgow - Sweden 3.4 Malmo - Canada 3.4 Toronto (13.78 for Thunder Bay if you include cities less than 1 million) - France 3.5 Marseille - USA 87.3 St Louis You see the difference here?
Also, just thought I’d add that literally a couple of videos before seeing this, I watched a video of a Swedish RUclipsr talking about how much she adores London and living in London. She had some criticisms too, but overall said that she could never live anywhere else. That just shows that we all have our own views/ taste/ perspectives. Even though London is not somewhere I, or you, would want to live full time; she is the opposite. Of course many people love London too, and I have seen many similar RUclips videos on how much they like living in the city (another girl I follow is from Norway and did a similar video). Just like I am subscribed here on RUclips to many Germans, Japanese, Russians, Polish, Americans etc that live in, and love, the English countryside.
It is so beautiful, I’m from wales. I moved to devon as there were no jobs in wales. Now we live in a beautiful village in devon but houses are to expensive. Family’s I know who have lived here all there lives are being made homeless because there’s no rental properties and they can’t afford houses. Everyone I know is talking about leaving the uk and some of our friends have 😢 we have no hope here.
When Indians and Pakistanis start talking about leaving the U.K. or not coming here you know things have changed for the worse. Privatisation, interest based capitalism, high taxes and inflation along with Conservative Government have created the cost of living crisis. Mass illegal immigration and rising levels of crime are going impact on the U.K. economy too. Government incompetence is to blame. Rent is high and houses are unaffordable. There are still pockets of the U.K. that are still prosperous, but they are not accessible to everyone. Yes, live and work abroad if you can, as you can save more towards your retirement.
You have a short memory if you think what's happening now it's down to just the last 15yrs of Tories.. Everything was neatly setup by globalist Blair & his Bol-Shevik Fabian party. (still in shadow power today) Pakistanis have been flooding the UK since 1960's.
As a Catalan (some people think we are spaniards) I can tell you that I never saw a stabbing in my entire life (I'm 44 and was born and lived in Barcelona most of my life), so definitely London has more crime than Barcelona. I totally understand how you feel, specially regarding the weather, I cannot imagine living in a place where 7 months of the year the sky is grey and rainy weather. I didn't realise how lucky we are in Catalonia weather-wise until I lived in Germany... I never experienced snow or temperatures below zero in my home country, and the experience in Germany was a shock to me, as somebody born at the coast of the Mediterranean Sea (we have 300 sunny days a year). I could never live in the UK although I love the country (I spend some months in Canterbury back in the 90s), I really like brittish people, the language, the architecture, its history, its people. I cannot live without blue skies and sunny weather. It's too important for me, even more important than having a job.
Try Living in asia or somewhere for 6 months (which I love by the way) but they only have 2 different weather conditions , at least in the UK there is slightly more diversity in the greyness 😂
Yup, to hell with the UK, it's a sinking ship. I started putting together plans at the end of 2020 after what went on I could see the trajectory, especially with higher taxes - and all for what? High taxes for NOTHING! Now I have a place in Cyprus but haven't committed to being there full time yet. What frustrates me is the small brained people who say stupid things like "can't move and work in another country now thanks to Brexit" - yes you can. You can go work and live in any country in the world, always have been able to, you just have to go through the correct process and the EU only counted for a tiny portion of the all the countries in the world anyway. Those are the people who won't get off their bums and actually do something, instead they will just stay in the UK and moan about it.
Uk in the 90s was the best After that, everything just went to shit .Too much regulation, a police state, and everything is tax tax and more .shit is way too expensive
After the Russo - Ukraine War, The state of the UK has deteriorated further financially especially due to the war related global energy shortage & Consequent inflation 🤔 !!!
True but it didn’t need to be that way, we could go back to buying Russian oil and things we improve, Unfortunately America a has other plans which have been on the cards for years to force us to buy American oil.
@@landzw так и есть. Смешное видео, в Дубай люди едут 😂. Пустыня с пылью. Умные в Россию едут. Можно земли у озера купить 100 гектар по цене квартиры в Бирмингеме и зарабатывать на молоке и мясе. Вот это и есть свобода. А не сидеть с ноутбуком в стеклянном доме посреди пустыни 😂.
Funny, you talk about how negative we are in the UK, lol, yet you speak very negatively about our country. I love the weather here in Wales. Our language, history, and culture is amazing, I mean, sure, it's not perfect but no country is, and it's why I am not leaving as I would rather stay here and fight for the land of my father.
The uk wouldn’t be soo bad if it wasnt for the terrible weather most the time especially where it’s dark by 3pm in winter and either cloudy or raining and when it’s isn’t night - it just sooo depressing and gets me down a lot and really puts a damper on doing anything else here . I mean there are a lot of activities nice places and events but when the weather is crap it’s very hard to get the motivation to do anything . Am 55 and single and fit and healthy and live off savings and own my own house outright and this video has inspired me more to make the move which I was thinking about for a long time - I have very little family keeping me here so I might as well take the plunge - only real issue keeping me back Is trying to sell my house in an area where theres low demand or where am going to get very little for it if I want a quick sale .
I am UK born, and was brought up 'Middle Class'. I became a trained professional with an international qualification. I moved to Australia. I became an Australian Citizen and got the passport. After returning to Europe, I later got Portuguese residency while the UK was still in the EU. In the past year I have been the victim of crime three times in the UK within 1 mile of my home. The Police have done nothing. In one case they had all the witnesses and evidence they needed, but they still messed it up. I am only still in the UK as I have to look after my parents.. and why? Because the social care system is almost inhumane. It may be best if they just execute old people. Sounds harsh, but the reality is not much better. When my parents pass, I am off forever. If you have money, and you can avoid crime, and don't mind poor weather, fine, otherwise forget it. How such a great country could become so unattractive is amazing.
How can someone leave if they don't have the money to leave? Most jobs have crap pay and you still end up in debt as the money is not enough to pay the bills. why aren't there any charities to help people to move? The UK is the Titanic!
When immigrants go somewhere and build wealth with all determination and hard work, they usually start with nothing but a suit case a wallet with enough cash to get by for a couple of weeks. Basically nothing. This has been the case for generations now in pretty much every country that has taken immigrants over the last hundred years, from Buenos Aires to Bremen.
Get rid of all your stuff, live in a room or couch surf while you save up money. Then jump ship. Or travel by freighter. The southern border of the US us wide open. Walk right in. Get free everything.
I left 20 years ago. My last 7 years spent in London... I had a great job, excellent pay and lived at Canary Wharf. But London is like a zoo. Nice to visit but you wouldn't want to live in one. I saw the writing on the wall.....violent crime, no go areas, religious extremists, and a sense of claustrophobia.
I spent 4 years living in Thailand and SEA. Now im back home for 4 years in have been building my business. It does seem to be going to shit here, but im glad im building my control through my business. Family are important and i struggle to ubderstand why anyone would be away from them for a long time. Its good to be mobile but home is home.
I lived in Bangkok as a teacher and eventually left for Hanoi Vietnam. On arrival Hanoi was cold wet, grey, cloudy a bit like UK in Autumn and I absolutely loved it. Bangkok eternally Sunny, Hot and Humid got to me and was glad I got away.
Wow! All the negative comments about the U.K. and London. Is it fair? Is it someone ranting and raving, and out of order. I never lived in London but always enjoyed visiting the city. I suppose visiting and residing are two different things, but I was never bored in London.
4:16 "They have to raise taxes otherwise they will go bankrupt". I had to switch off at this point, because it shows you don't know what you're talking about. A country with a sovereign currency can never go bankrupt, because all its debts are denominated in its own currency, which it controls the supply of.
I worded it slightly wrong but you can read about it online, Bank of England had to step in to stop the UK exonomy from collapsing bevause of the gov’s proposed policies
Also, heavy taxation is very much a communist trope. It appears however that the UK is going down the dangerous road of institutional Communism for decades now.
Depends how much of the country's currency is being "sent back home" by a rapidly-growing portion of the population. Also funny how "home" is not actually the UK. Telling, really. The phrase is even used on a TV advert for a money-transfer service: "For when you want to send money "back home" ".

A lot of the issues are simply policy. In actual fact the government should focus on growth, cutting taxes, capping immigration (which strains public services). And this is where the UAE perhaps does it right. By not allowing immigrants access to public services and ruling out citizenship with strict rules on deportation both parties (the worker and the government) are very straight on what is expected from both parties. Your comments on culture are utterly laughable given your new location. I look forward your video on low tax, culturally 'rich' Dubai and the rights you receive there. Keen to hear your views on the weather and climate of the UAE too particularly during the summer months. You reference the risk taking culture of the UK. Again, some of this is culture, regulation or maybe you haven't experienced enough different industries. Finance is a disproportionately big part of the economy but you see innovation here, but like most parts of the UK economy the incentives for taking risks are evaporating, tax, regulation. Again, this is policy (a low growth policy). Also worth remembering that the British (culturally in the main) are not greedy and and don't want to fleece people. Compare that with say the UAE where everything now is a grind, from getting a taxi and avoiding requests to tip, to buying a car or property to simply just eating out. The service is poor, everyone is out to fleece once another because it is a quick-buck society (society used very loosely here). Net zero is a toxic falicy and it hurts everything. It would never benefit a country like the UK, it wouldn't benefit the world (if you subscribed to global warming doctrine). Again, this is policy and can be changed. In short, the issues are (as you correctly state) a product of poor/weak government and policies that nobody really voted for or understood. For now, the UK remains a democracy and these things can be changed. Yeah, the weather here is shocking, but when the sun does shine you see a decent lift in mood. Decent video. Many thanks.
I think you make a few good points. For me, I see growing discontent and apathy with the young people in the UK. They are giving up hope. They can't afford a house so will become rent slaves, they can't save so they take on debt. They're paying the highest taxes since WW2 but infrastructure is failing and falling apart. Schools, Police, Roads, NHS are all falling apart. Everyone must be wondering where their taxes are going. The middle and working classes are losing assets to the wealthy at rates not seen since Victorian times. To believe in Capitalism, young people need to belive the can accumulate capital. This is not happening in the UK, so why should they stay there? The UK is a great country if you're in the elite and can dodge taxation and hoard assets. (Look at Sunaks wife for a good example). But if you're not rich or in a position of power to influence the rich. There really is not a lot left in the UK.
I was with you until you suggested moving to the middle east. No thanks. Everywhere is in trouble and each place comes with different merits and flaws. I like the british countriside. Cities here are awful but aren't they like that everywhere? My experiences in ireland, france and the usa were all worse than in the uk.
Wow. I live in Chester, UK .Sounds like it couldn't be more different from your shitty life in London. I've got friends from Portugal who work in jobs they love, which they studied for, as in Portugal there's nothing. On one salary (slightly more than minimum wage) they can pay the rent and bills, while the second salary allows them to enjoy life and get home a couple of times a year. Another couple i know (a Syrian and a Slovak) decided to move to Australia, couldn't stand it and moved back here, then tried Dubai, hated it and have now settled back in the UK. I'm wondering, what is this "London" place you speak of. Could this be the problem?
Chester is one of the best places in the UK to live. It even has the oldest racecourse in Britain, Roman walls, the river dee, cafes, bars and restaurants galore and friendly people. It is the gateway to North Wales, 45 minutes from Manchester, 25 minutes from Liverpool and just 2 hours 30 minutes to London by train.
Yeah I'm from Italy and people here just dream to work in the UK, I've heard some people who now live there that yeah people are more rude but more real, and the job is legal and well paid
I wouldn't put money on that. There's a huge demographic crisis in the UK, with a huge number of elderly people requiring social care and who will be shuffling off this mortal coil in the next few years. Compare that with the bottom of the population pyramid and the very few young people who pay taxes and work.
@@klawlor3659 yeah but with the massive immigration we have it will take us a lot longer to feel it unlike many other countries. South Korea is the worst case
@@Jonnyicey You would think so wouldn't you? Truth is that less than 15% of immigrants coming here are actually in full time work (surprising figures). So the question is, who makes up the shortfall and where is the money going to come from? Because right now we are facing a demographic cliff. The immigrants may make up the "replacement" younger faces, but they ain't making up for the loss of money into the system.
@@Jonnyicey Being an aging minority in a country that is majority younger than us and generally hates us is not a demographically good position to be in. I'd rather face economic collapse through an aging population that ethnic cleansing and an enforced Caliphate. Both of which are inevitable if the current trajectory is not reversed.
Sorry but as regards the first point that’s completely irrelevant. If the average income was as high as in the richest countries the cost of housing would be even higher than it is. So as long as you’re talented or intelligent or have a marketable skill everyone else being not doing so great is fine.
I'm English and I'm staying here for better or for worse. If citizens of anywhere want to leave then there's the door, try not to let it hit your arse on the way out.
@@tuomaskiv I’m so thankful, as you should be as a European, my grandad who fought at Normandy didn't have this attitude, but then your not English are you 💁
@@WestlecI'm a Brit and had relatives that fought in WW2. I'm glad my grandparents on both sides aren't alive to see what a corrupt miserable shithole this country is today. Corruption, abysmal infrastructure, rubbish quality of life, unaccountable bureaucrats/politicians. The worst decision I made was returning to this craphole.
This guy is an idiot, there are 70,000,000 people in the UK, approximately 5% are millionaires, that’s 3,500,000 so 3,200 is less than 0.1% I don’t think that’s everyone leaving, probably more millionaires entering the UK 😂 chatting rubbish
@Westlec He may not be English but his comment is still valid. There were 27 Million Russians who gave their lives fighting the Nazis and WON the war. Should Russian people still stay in Russia today to fight a unjustified war in Ukraine because their ancestors didn't run before??
"I loved London, I was obsessed with London, London was the place to be" - proceeds to list everything that makes British people British and why it's all sh*t.

Most people when reaching pension age will leave the UK. Better to spend your money abroad and get quality and quantities and value for money and better weather. The UK has Lost its identity and becoming a dangerous place to live. Can't get a hospital operation without waiting for years or a dentist to take you on. Doctors don't see patients face to face its more like an oppointment for a quick phone call and prescription or told to go to the hospital. All the big manufacturing has gone leaving unemployment out of control. Housing lists out of control homes given to illegals entering the country. Homeless people living on the streets. Yet in he Conservative MP's areas where the money is spent and not in deprived areas where illegals are dumped to make them worse.
Many countries insist that elderly immigrants have private health insurance, which many pensioners can't afford. Also the tax threshold in the UK is higher than in many countries.
Lived in the Uk for last 25 yrs in late 90’s it was an amazing place and the living standards were quite high . Started to see a massive change since 2008 financial crisis. After that it have been a steep decline . Since 2015 it’s been a disaster . Left a year ago because I just could not take it anymore and the culture is totally toxic . There is no standards anymore and infrastructure is horrendous all over the country . And the crime makes it unbearable. The Brits hate it if you’re an ambitious person and they don’t want anyone to succeed . I am so happy I have left . And I would advise young people to get the hell out of that horrible place . I will never go back to that dump . Even 3rd world countries I been too has a better Living standards. Poland and rest of Eastern Europe is 1000 times better than Uk .
Poland wages are on the level of my country aka they are fd, the uk since brexit and the w@ r is not that attractive anymore,still Central Europe got the money even tho people in those countries also complain, for rich Europeans only options is anglophone countries, idk about all this guys getting attracted to 0% taxes and tourism ads.
At time of writing it is the 6th of June and it's cold and windy with spells of rain. Just had the heating on for an hour. The economy and the politics is worse than the weather. So it's Spain for me, bollocks to this shit.
Things are NOT going to improve. Mainly because things CAN'T improve. There's zero money in the kitty, there's an ever decreasing pool of people to pay taxes and an ever increasing amount of elderly people to splurge money on. There's poor quality services, poor quality housing, crap infrastructure and healthcare, crap jobs and conditions...definately time to leave.
The wheels have been coming off fur 20 year in the uk and the west , 2008 financial crash basically showed how bankrupt we are . They have kicked the can down the road since then.
I agree with you! Most of the Western world is pretty much fkd. Any country that has debt is fkd. Privatisation, globalisation deregulation of the banks, outsourcing jobs, insourcing jobs and endless wars plus being a colony of USA means a parasitic relationship which of course means taxpayers are burdened with the military costs. BRICS countries are they only places left that are worth living in. USA is by far the worst. They can't pay off their debt its just too big. Any NATO appears the same. If your part of NATO you're rooted. Australia is another fkd country. People make the typical mistake of assuming things are great in my country when in fact its not. In the 50s, 60s, 70s, yes but after it headed down hill rapidly. Governments privitised everything, deregulated the banks, sold off public assets which is tantamount to stealing state assets. The foundation of any great nation is CHEAP ENERGY. If you cant get cheap energy your pretty much fkd as a country. Punitive taxes are also killing our countries. Oligarchs have gamed the system for their own benefit and thats meant we are suffering because of it.
Thanks, and yes! So many people here blaming it all on "the UK allowing too many immigrants" as if, 1- the UK has any choice in the matter, and 2- these issues were as simple as there being more working age people in the country (which is generally a good thing) and if that simply stopped everything else would right itself. Delusion is what I call it. There are decades of political and economic decisions that led to this state in the West, the UK is just more obvious because it's a tiny non-productive country that decided to cut ties with its most important trade partner without any kind of long term plan beyond that (completely idiotic, but I guess they thought it was all down to migration too and everything would magically get better...). At the end of the day, no one can be the best forever, and once you think you're already on top it's too easy to get complacent and greedy, and things just go downhill from there. It's what we're seeing in Western Europe today, and the West as a whole to a lesser extent. I'm trying to move to Asia soon because it feels like it's the new up and coming place, where standards of living are actually increasing, new infrastructure still gets built, and innovation is still welcomed instead of feared. The Brits can keep their 200 year old decrepit buildings, lukewarm beer, shit weather, and ailing infrastructure. As long as they can have a pint, watch the footie, and "keep calm and carry on" while gossiping about their inbred royals they'll probably be satisfied enough with their lives.
The west is the richest part of the world ,,, while Europe was richer then the US not long ago ,,, now wealth is shifting towards the US , the US is far richer then Europe mainly thanks to the technology and manufacturing sector the resources and growing population ,,, many innovative and educated Europeans and non Europeans are immigrating to the US which naturally harms S Europe further .

This video seems massively biased, you cannot define the Britain by a few years living in London. Britain is a beautiful country with rich history, culture, music, art, food and people. This whole video is an attempt to sell his idea and business, don’t let him fool you. Places like Dubai suck people away from their country by offering low taxes and other benefits which are not possible in a nation which supports its people, there is no comparison.
When i am getting the data from the OECD (2022) /Net income after taxes - US dollars PPP exchange rates / Great Britain is on the 9th place. The wikipedia statistic is also not normed on one specific year. I am on your side on many points, I have also emigrated, albeit from Germany, but yes, I see the trend across Europe. "The American dream" is more real in Dubai or Batumi than in London or Berlin. And I can only advise everyone to give it a try.
I guess it won't help you if I say that it's the same weather everywhere in Europe. We are technically still in spring, not summer, but it has been shitty everywhere, here in Germany it's awful (as in the UK, cold, rain, grey, etc) and the same in Barcelona where I come from and my family lives. It's not only in the UK. In these cases you don't hear the climate-change activists and media repeat their slogans, they only talk loud when it's hot but total silence when it's cold and rains.
Hey Thomas! I'm from Ukraine and for some last time lived in Moscow and Saint Petersburg(right near Finland). And I don't know where to go. I can use only russian passport(my spouse has only that). Right now I'm considering european digital nomad visas. For Dubai, I visited in late september and it was hot as hell. The main issue with places like south asia or latin america - startup/tech networking is close to zero, there's just frugal freelancers and guys who went there for cheap s*x. London at least in top 10 startup cities. So as I approach this dynamics it makes me confused, idk where to go
I don't know your issues but i'd suggest choosing a base (like Dubai in the winter), and a secondary place to stay when it's getting too hot in the UAE for about 5 month. Malaysia could be option. Good luck!
Go to southeast Asia until you figure it out, Luckily ukrainian passport is still a very good passport. You dont have to stay there, but countries like Philippines you can stay for up to 3 years, I think malaysia you can stay 3 months, Thailand is an option also but the immigration is a bit of a pain in the ass. Take a look at Asia, you can stay there for the time being until you figure something out, it at least gives you time and space to breathe.
Counterpoint. It's still pretty great here. Millionaires leaving. Why? Too much tax? They don't get too keep their money? Sounds like greed to me. They don't want to give back. Sure if you live in a city full of greedy people, then yeah that's a mistake. I live in a semi-rural village and it's brilliant. Everyone's nice, the traffic is calm, the views are lovely and there are plenty of places to visit. Honestly, this just sounds like a load of people who want to take from England and not give back and if that's the case, we probably don't need you anyway.
Oil/gas prices gone up >> therefore everything else also gone up in price. Additionally the expenses increased (Ukraine war) for the government. They are raising taxes now to get more money out of the people.
Erm. Just move to the countryside. ……… focus on assets not ‘income’ Grow your own food get in touch with nature who wants to live in a concrete jungle like Dubai?.. I do agree though, with you, that the bureaucrats in the government are Removing the hope for a better life from the citizens, people are becoming pessimistic (but not those who live on smallholdings)

The UK is not London. This is what irritates me about people commenting on life in the UK. I live in Scotland, have an ok job, my own house, and live fairly comfortably. There's no way I'm leaving this green grass land for a dustbowl in the Middle East to live from a laptop 🤣
Yeah the UK is not just about London and England. Scotland is a beautiful country with good people.
sure other UK place are better than london, but when you check east europe 90% plus they own their flats houses by age 35, in UK or EU 80% they pay rent or mortgage age 55-60

Yeah, London's basically the Eurocancer of the UK. Most of them voted remain, then voted Khan back in as Mayor after what he's done to the place. We should fence it off, then charge people who want to exit for a certain period.

@@BrunO-dy9roreality ppl on benefits are generally lower skilled - they are not magically going become go getting entrepreneurs if their benefits are cut back.
@@BrunO-dy9ro You can't just cut the benefits, you also have to cut taxes and regulations to stimulate economic activity. The barriers to entry for starting a business in the UK are exceptionally high right now compared to most of history and most of the world. You can't just set up on a street corner and start selling stuff, it's illegal. If you want to buy and sell things via ebay, you need a lot of money down to get started and the fees are so high it suffocates any small players. Rents are high and taxes are another 50% again just on the rent, and that's before VAT and taxes on profits and wages, plus other key overheads such as bills. We are taxed to death and it's why so many businesses simply fail. The businesses that don't fail mostly run on exceptionally thin margins. There is no "moderate, easy success" in the UK when it comes to running a business. If you don't simply fail then you're either scraping by or very successful. Moderately sized family businesses bringing in healthy margins are rare.
@Hashterix ermmm sorry but i havent mentioned anything about businesses, to be completely honest I feel like you just went on a rant from an entrepreneur/small business owner perspective. Cutting on benefits is going to repel complacent and lazy people away and it will also force the people who cannot leave to do something for themselves and be productive in this country. I am an immigrant and I worked very hard, sleepless nights studying to get where I am. The gov is inciting laziness and complacency. It's annoying and disheartening.
UK is a punitively taxed, low pay culture, welfare state with terrible weather. If i were a young person I would definitely leave. The money is there to do anything we wanted, it's just that the politicians waste so much of it and the state is far too big and costly.
Yup. The state is now acting unlawfully. The DWP, and HMRC and Police can now do all sorts, seize assets, all sorts, no court order required. Basically it’s a criminal state acting unlawfully. I’m currently having issues with inheritance. I think their attitude is, they mortgaged your assets, that’s how they’re 1 trillion in debt, and they say you then gave them the money to spend, Thank you very much, but when you sell that asset they seem to think, you mortgaged it, gave them the money so it belongs to the Government not you. Seriously, trying to get hold of our money is a nightmare. Took six months to get our money from applying to cash in premium bonds. The Nazis did something similar….guns not butter translated into save, don’t spend. Savings accounts soared, mostly opened in Government owned post office savings accounts. Little did they realise their money was all converted into Government bonds and in effect stolen. The only way it could be honoured was by printing money.

@@youtischia NHS is a shambles. Severely understaffed, Clueless DR's and "Specialists" Lack of specialists so you have to travel all around the UK to see a certain specialist. I've seen patients in beds out in the corridors on a freaking stroke ward because there's no rooms, while there was a whole ward shut down from being understaffed.
You are tripping if you think the NHS is good. Health care is much better in other countries even those in EU. Sure you have to pay, But its better than getting taxed your whole life for terrible care system that is failing.
And yet you left your own country? You are not British are you? Ahh I see,so your whole diatribe is exactly a sales job for yourself? Cynical
@angleisthebestOur tax rates are lies we pay way more tax than stated, through national insurance and council tax.

Uk now is like the third world ….
I broke my leg in the UK. Went to Worcester hospital where I was put in plaster for 6 months. Once out of the plaster I had a noticeable twist in my leg below the knee, where the break had healed. I travelled to the UAE later than anticipated because of the broken leg and it was causing me pain, so went to hospital within a few weeks of arriving. Within 2 hours I had been examined, had an x-ray and had a CAT scan. The surgeon, in nice language basically said, "What an absolute shite job". He basically said he could put it right. Within a few weeks my leg was re-broken and pinned straight. They had me walking with a crutch within a week. After a couple of months my leg was straight and pain free and still is 9 years later. I will do my very best to avoid UK hospitals from now on. The surgeon was from Lebanon, so was clearly good at battlefield damage. lol. He was also a man who knew his craft, so I am very fortunate.
Same thing here 🤚
London 2022 I waited 8 hours only to see the doctor, the waiting room was full of patients screaming and mostly BLEEDING! And still waiting!!

Not less tax, but a power percentage
That's exactly the problem. The UK has become a kleptocracy.
I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago. I left the UK 9 years back and have been living tax free, earning 5 times my UK take home pay. I am also in the UAE but in Abu Dhabi, living by the ocean. The summer is very hot, but for 6 months of the year, the weather is like a British summer. I did not leave the UK because I did not like it. I actually love my country. I left because progression is blocked in every aspect. There are so many talented people from the UK living and working across the world, helping other countries progress, because their own country is controlled by bell ends. In Abu Dhabi I have an English Dentist and an English Doctor and many of my work colleagues are British. They are all exceptionally good at what they do because they love their job and social life. People are allowed to progress. It is a free and fair society, despite the utter garbage written about it by the UK press. Sure, the UAE has its quirks, but every society has the same. The financial people in the UK run the show and they are all about stuffing their own pockets at the expense of everyone else. Until that culture is bought in line, the UK will always be going backwards, and talented people will continue to leave. That is the long and short of it. The brain drain is real and getting worse.
I 100% agree. can you give more information on moving to Abu Dhabi with family?
@@Ryoko007 My 2 kids were grown up. both were in university in the UK, so that kind of helped with the decision. I am a specialist in a very narrow field, so that also helped as I was head hunted to come out here. Having a job secured, all I had to do was get my professional documents attested in the UK and UAE before travelling. You have to obtain a UAE Visa, which lasts 3 years, so if you can secure a job in the UAE before travelling, the company PRO can do the leg work for you. If you want to come out and find a job, it can be difficult as most companies prefer to use people who already have an emirates Visa. Schools are very expensive over here. If you have kids, a company may or may not offer financial help for this. It is also important that the medical insurance is of a good level and covers all the family. Private medical over here is exceptional compared to the UK, even if the cover is at a lower level. The government/non-private hospitals are around the same level as the NHS in the UK. Companies have to provide medical insurance by law. Once you have your emirates Visa (Takes a few weeks) you are allowed to rent property. Property can be anything from a studio apartment to 8-bedroom villas, so it depends on budget. In Abu Dhabi, a 3 bedroomed Villa cost for annual rent can be anywhere from GBP 20k to GBP 50k, depending on location. Rent is usually charged annually upfront. propertyfinder.ae is a great website to assess rental costs. A company may also help in this area as well, by paying property rent directly. Salaries can be confusing as they have several categories. My wage slip has basic salary, housing, transport and a few other items. There is no income tax. There is a final salary scheme, so every year you work for a company, they will add either a week or a month of your basic salary to a pot. When you leave the company, all of the money will be paid as a final salary. An example being if you worked for a company for 5 years and they placed 1 month's basic salary in the pot for each year, your final salary will have 5 months basic pay plus what you earned for the last month. (Unless you are fired for gross misconduct). When I first came across, I travelled on my own and was out here for a couple of months until my wife travelled over. We have lived here ever since. I am now under a golden Visa, so I do not have to worry about visa renewal every 3 years. The golden Visa gives you 10 years without renewal. To get the golden Visa you either have to buy property, own a company or have professional experience to contribute to the UAE economy. I am fortunately in the latter category.
Started in 1694 after Cromwell let them in.
Well done.
You got there in the end...😅
i used to live in Abu Dhabi. its lovely there
@@Ryoko007 It is better if you can secure a job before moving over. If you have a professional qualification, you need to get your documents attested in the UK and UAE. If all goes well and you get a job, it is better to travel on your own first as it takes a few weeks to get your Visa sorted. Once the Visa is in place you can open a bank account and rent a property before bringing the family over. Companies have to provide medical insurance by law. It can vary depending on the companies' practices. If you have kids, school fees are expensive, so ensure your salary can cover rent, day to day living and school fees. A 3 bed Villa can be anywhere from GBP 30k to 50K rent per year, depending on location. Apartments are usually cheaper. Rent is the equivalent of paying tax in the UK. Despite the eye watering cost compared to the UK, you have to remember that you don't pay income tax. I am not very careful and usually have more than 50% of my salary left over at the end of the month. Something that I could only dream about in the UK.
One thing I notice in England is a kind of blinkering going-on. There is an invisible cordon put around talking about the actual direction we are taking. I make a point of asking the simple question: 'In your estimation, will Britain be a better place or a worse place in five years?' No prizes for guessing what the 100% reply is.
Obviously because discussing the causes of the problem is officially "hate speech".
If Farage was PM I would say the former.
I'm sick of this phoney rhectoric. The country has gone to shit because the populace kept on voting the Tories in. Maggie Thatcher introduced the Right to Buy which upended housing, they also privatised everything making utilities and transport more expensive. The Cameron introduced austerity cuts which destroyed public services such as the NHS, then just to add injury to insult they introduce Brexit which has made everyone poorer, and then to really take the piss Liz Truss tanked the economy with her head banging budget which raised everyone's rents smd mortgage. None of this real life events and political choices which Brits made has anything to do with immigrants living in the country.
I grew up in London, born here. I love parts of the UK, the rich history, the humor, country side. But as a NHS Nurse of 10 years, struggling to get my own house i gave up. I was sick of the cost kf everything, the electric, the petrol, housing, renting it's just such a disgusting greedy country and the government never help.

I see more and more ppl are speaking about this. Living in London is terrible especially because this 50% tax after 50k (50k is just to cover basic needs in London, lol). There is no perspective to build your wealth unless you've inherited a House 🏠.
Precisely
50%! I don't know why I thought it was 30%. 50% is disgusting 😅
To be clear, there is no 50% income tax in the UK (check the government website on income tax).
From £12,570 to £50,270, you pay 20%. From £50,271 to £125,140, you pay a further 40% on whatever you earn in this bracket. Anything that you earn above £125,141 is 45%. Correct as of 3rd June 2024.
It's still a ridiculous amount to pay. Cost of living is so high and it's not easy to save.
@@Trepines real tax is 50%... 40 or 45% income tax plus national insurance. As you have no choice to not pay, this meets a tax definition. Plus for living in London you pay ridiculous ULEZ fees and public transport per day might reach 20 pounds. Quality, reliability of trains/tube might have been impressing 50 years ago but not now.

Your spiting out facts brother👍
Without decent job prospects with even halfway decent pay, without affordable homes, there is literally no room anymore for the low paid. Yet the low paid are precisely the ones who are least able to leave the country to better their prospects, not while every single penny they have goes into merely existing.
Just because one is low paid does not mean it is impossible to learn new skills which would enable them to leave.
The UK has gone kaput and it is very sad to admit this. I am in my 40's and I am going to another country to start over. My age is not an issue because I am going to launch a business wherever I decide to go and I will do remote work to get by if need be. Things went south for the UK when that Goblin Blair came to power in 1997 and squandered the UK's emergency fund on things that the UK didn't need or want. The UK moved most of its production jobs overseas and that was the beginning of it all. 1992 onwards, the UK has gone to pot and there is no one willing or caring enough to turn it around. If the UK gets lucky enough to get business minded leaders in charge and the change from a negative attitude to the happy go lucky positive attitude then things can turnaround. But I am not holding my breath and I am going to live somewhere tropical to start over.

It's more a critique of the current state of England and from my experience, he's spot on. It's overcrowded, balkanized and has high taxes (and some half-assed freedom of speech which keeps people from speaking their minds).
@@lanceatone overcrowded, MIGRATION.
The UK is anti Russia which is wrong
England is in the past
I agree….but as you said….before! Was! Past tense.
I retired to Bulgaria. It's great and the weather is ten times better.
Born and raised in London. Left fot Vietnam 6 years ago. No regrets.

Left the UK for Hong Kong. Best decision ever. Much higher quality of life. 7% tax amd is at the very least miles safer than the UK.

@@Hfgh564Yup. But different system and laws. Being close to mainland China is beneficial for me because of business and investment opportunities. Until you have been there you don't realise how insanely technologically advanced they are.

The UK has many problems, I do not think anyone would disagree, however much of what you say is a global phenomenon. As much as what you say is correct, there are very few alternatives which are long-term. Yes you can go to certain places such as the UAE, but their rules can change, it is difficult to settle there and even attain a passport. If the UK has problems I am sure your country of birth has even more, however I am sure you do not critisize your country of origion. This is the exact reason you probably moved to the UK. Despite the issues, the UK is still a great place for people whos second language is English, provides good levels of economic stability (and political) and is a great place to initiate a career or education (as well as attaining a British passport, if you are not from the West or a developed nation). I think advising everyone to leave is a bit stupid, as it depends on the circumstance. NOTE, I am not a British native, and hence not a patriot, but there is still much the UK offers compared to other countries.
Ever hear of "crabs in a bucket syndrome"? Google it, it fits your comment soo well! X
Wish I had left years ago, the standard of living in the UK is now pathetic. Taxed to the hilt for very very poor non existent services!
The irony is that around 150k Hong Kong ppl have moved to UK so far since 2021.
I heard many White British move away because there's too many Middle Eastern/ African ppl. But the irony is these White British ppl tend to move to Dubai which is mainly Middle Eastern ppl🤦♂️🫤🤷♂️
It's not skin colour, it's culture and standards of behaviour
Loads of English people are leaving the UK to Australia 🦘 for the longest
Middle Eastern countries, know the dangers of extremist Islam, and clamp down on it. The UK welcomes and encourages extremist Muslims as they haven‘t got a clue. They project Christian, tolerant and respectful values onto ‘everyone’, blind to the reality that they are welcoming in a sharia Trojan horse.
Some of the Hong Kong BNOs are actually flowing back to Hong Kong because they realised Democracy is not what it was made out to be. Like the price to pay in terms of taxation and the sheer dive in the quality-of-life is just not worth the freedom to talk trash about your government.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong has topped a record number of visits into Mainland China. We are talking about 1 millions trips made by HKers during the Easter period out of a population of 7.5 millions people. A LOT of Hong Kongers are warming to China now.
People like to think that politics and ideology matter... No... Not when your everyday live is fill with frustrations and you just can't see the end of the tunnel.
And by the way, I grew up in UK. Graduated in 2010 with a Civil Engineering degree but couldn't find work in UK because of the 2008 Subprime. Moved to Hong Kong and landed in a job within a week and stayed here since. So I know UK, HK and China quite well.
Eventually it came to a point when you realised that there is no point having a voice when the politicians don't listen. Wouldn't I be MORE of a slave if I still opted to live in a country where I am treated worse by a wide margin?
Dubai is heavy-handed when it comes to crime and kicks criminals back to their home countries, not like UK
I agree with some of what you said here but I think there's something that you missed (which is the main reason I'm leaving): the erosion of personal freedom.
The UK is slowly building one of the most totalitarian countries in the entire world. Already we have a "do as your told" culture that I despise with a passion. CCTV tracks you everywhere. Restrictions on freedom are slowly creeping forward. It's sad. It's why I want to leave. This weather and culture stuff is just barking up the wrong tree for me.
totally agree. Real nanny state.
@@DameHoracia That's the word I was looking for.

Not quire > There are places, where life is much less expensive and safer, that can still be considered Western. Poland, Czhech republic, the Baltics. Heck > Greece, Croatia, Montenegro too. If you're more adventurous > Bulgaria, Romania. You have the same you got in UK, (faster and cheaper ) internet, shopping malls, access to ( better and cheaper ) healtcare and ( better and cheaper ) food and education. Property is cheaper. Weather is better in some of these places. Crime rate is lower than UK for most of them. I think people are somewhat biased towards 'The underdevelopped Easterlings' but reality is different.

@elishevabarenbaum5319 if you have any info I'd be very interested in taking a look.
I left 20 years ago best thing I ever did and I would never go back
I'm currently watching this video. As a near 40 year old English bloke many points in this video are relevant (weather for example lol). The UK is a great place to be if ones attitude is one of greed. If your a wealthy landlord its great because you can ramp up your prices whether you need to or not because people need a place to live and ramp up your own bank account at the expense of others in the process. If your a greedy tradesman you can go and charge an old lady £200 for half hours work and brag about it to your mates. You can also indulge on junk food all day and no one will bat an eyelid. You can also work an incredibly important job, work loads of hours at minimum wage and the above people will be more than happy to exploit you lol!!
That being said, I love the UK and in most cases its down to the individual to try and act in a relatively human way. Good regards to all.
You don't know the difference between 'You're' and 'Your'. You use the same word throughout...
@@paradisekohchangstyle2150no one cares
The landlords you speak highly of are land locked. Something I do not want to be.
@@peter-coates A lot of people care about the low levels of literacy throughout the internet. Question is, do we blame the declining IQ levels in general, or the quality of the so-called English teachers in our schools? You can go back to your Viz comics now, bud...
I was a landlord and heard that wealthy landlord comment made to me by tenants many times. Also that I was lucky. I started with nothing, and while my friends and acquaintances were partying and wasting their time and money I wasn't. I tolerated being called mean and tight. At 27 I owned a decent 3 bedroom bungalow ( no mortgage ) and entered semi- retirement. Fully retired at 35. I left the UK for good at age 25, in 1979. I've tried to teach some of my past 35 different tenant how to improve their lives, but they all proved to be losers. Unskilled or welfare bludgers, with zero self motivation.
If our "guests" leave then things will improve overnight.
An absolute lie. The UK is set up for the rich and the elites. If you're neither. You're going to struggle. The rich and elites love middle and working classes blaming immigrants.
You should research in to how the UK Government and Middle/Working classes are losing assets at levels not seen since the Victorians.
And here's a hint: the assets and capital aren't going to the immigrants.
Not really, the UK is mainly in trouble from an economic standpoint. Getting rid of all of the Arab and Black people isn't going to fix that.
The UK is actually in an economic and demographic death spiral. Not enough Brits having children, combined with a huge needy elderly population and humongous government economic mismanagement. Brexit wasn't going to change that (the EU has similar issues) and the UK isn't going to change for the better anytime soon.

@@charlieleedham5265 That's good to know. So what's the statistics of Muslims having kids v people over 55?
Well I totally disagree. I’m an American, living in the beautiful English countryside, and I love it here. Can I just point out first of all that London, and large cities in general, are *completely* different to the rest of England; the rest of England I would consider the *real* England. There are thousands of beautiful, historic and traditional villages, hamlets, market towns and small cities across the English countryside, that are not only fantastic places to live (unless you’re a big city person of course) and explore, but are filled with fantastic people that are; once again, totally different to London/ many large cities. The people I know and associate with here do not possess the culture that you describe in this video. Pub culture in the countryside is very different to the big population centers such as London. I will say, however, that most Europeans in general can be more negative/ slightly cold (especially compared to Americans), but most in my day-to-day life in Suffolk that I come across are kind, friendly, talkative and overall positive (that’s European positive - so much more understated compared to the US). I do not know a single person that is leaving the United Kingdom. I feel this should have perhaps been directed towards London? I mean I personally would never wish to live in London, as I am definitely *not* someone that likes big cities, although I do still like visiting as a tourist a couple of times a year because it obviously has a lot to offer (and is the second most visited city in the world). If anyone is interested in why I love living here then I’d be happy to share in more detail (e.g. much safer, much better work life balance, food produce is to a much higher standard, everywhere is walkable, not having to rely on a car, the rich history and historic sights at every corner - my passion etc). I also want to address something else you said in this video about crime (which I disagree with), but I’ll leave it in a comment directly below this.
Let’s do a comparison with western countries:
1. Homicides (per 100,000 people):
- Australia 0.9
- Germany 1.0
- U.K. 1.1
- Sweden 1.1
- France 1.3
- Belgium 1.7
- Canada 2.25
- USA 6.3
You can see the big jump with the US, whereas the U.K. is the same as other similar western nations, and does extremely well when you compare it to the rest of the world.
2. Firearm related homicides (per 100,000 people):
- U.K. 0.02
- Germany 0.06
- France 0.12
- Australia 0.15
- Belgium 0.25
- Sweden 0.5
- Canada 0.52
- USA 4.46
Again, you see this difference, and the U.K. has the lowest of this crime in the world (alongside Japan), so it’s almost non-existent there.
3. Knife related homicides (per 100,000 people):
- Germany 0.23
- France 0.33
- U.K. 0.34
- Sweden 0.35
- Belgium 0.36
- Australia 0.48
- Canada 0.49
- USA 0.60
The difference isn’t as stark here, but that’s because this type of crime isn’t as common as others in the US, and the U.K. favors similarly to its neighbors.
4. The USA has over 65 cities with a homicide rate of between 11 to 87 per 100,000 people, London is one of England’s most dangerous cities and yet only has a rate of 1.5 per 100,000 people (that’s 10-80 times smaller by comparison). There are hundreds of cities in the US with a rate over double London’s.
For example, Look at the highest homicide rate cities within each country (per 100,000 people):
- Germany 1.5 Frankfurt
- England 2.0 Manchester
- Belgium 2.9 Brussels
- Scotland 3.1 Glasgow
- Sweden 3.4 Malmo
- Canada 3.4 Toronto (13.78 for Thunder Bay if you include cities less than 1 million)
- France 3.5 Marseille
- USA 87.3 St Louis
You see the difference here?
Also, just thought I’d add that literally a couple of videos before seeing this, I watched a video of a Swedish RUclipsr talking about how much she adores London and living in London. She had some criticisms too, but overall said that she could never live anywhere else. That just shows that we all have our own views/ taste/ perspectives. Even though London is not somewhere I, or you, would want to live full time; she is the opposite. Of course many people love London too, and I have seen many similar RUclips videos on how much they like living in the city (another girl I follow is from Norway and did a similar video). Just like I am subscribed here on RUclips to many Germans, Japanese, Russians, Polish, Americans etc that live in, and love, the English countryside.
It's no fun anymore
It is so beautiful, I’m from wales. I moved to devon as there were no jobs in wales. Now we live in a beautiful village in devon but houses are to expensive. Family’s I know who have lived here all there lives are being made homeless because there’s no rental properties and they can’t afford houses. Everyone I know is talking about leaving the uk and some of our friends have 😢 we have no hope here.
Who would ever want to move to Dubai?? 🙄
Those who think money is a God
Or who wants sand in their pums and everywhere 🤔
Yeah their culture is questionable
I left more than 40 years ago. No regrets. Escaped the taxes and low wages. A total shithole.
Yep
If I had the money we would leave tomorrow. It's a toilet for immigration.
When Indians and Pakistanis start talking about leaving the U.K. or not coming here you know things have changed for the worse. Privatisation, interest based capitalism, high taxes and inflation along with Conservative Government have created the cost of living crisis. Mass illegal immigration and rising levels of crime are going impact on the U.K. economy too. Government incompetence is to blame. Rent is high and houses are unaffordable. There are still pockets of the U.K. that are still prosperous, but they are not accessible to everyone. Yes, live and work abroad if you can, as you can save more towards your retirement.
You have a short memory if you think what's happening now it's down to just the last 15yrs of Tories.. Everything was neatly setup by globalist Blair & his Bol-Shevik Fabian party. (still in shadow power today)
Pakistanis have been flooding the UK since 1960's.
As a Catalan (some people think we are spaniards) I can tell you that I never saw a stabbing in my entire life (I'm 44 and was born and lived in Barcelona most of my life), so definitely London has more crime than Barcelona.
I totally understand how you feel, specially regarding the weather, I cannot imagine living in a place where 7 months of the year the sky is grey and rainy weather.
I didn't realise how lucky we are in Catalonia weather-wise until I lived in Germany... I never experienced snow or temperatures below zero in my home country, and the experience in Germany was a shock to me, as somebody born at the coast of the Mediterranean Sea (we have 300 sunny days a year). I could never live in the UK although I love the country (I spend some months in Canterbury back in the 90s), I really like brittish people, the language, the architecture, its history, its people.
I cannot live without blue skies and sunny weather. It's too important for me, even more important than having a job.
Blue skies is the BEST thing
The architecture is Catholic.
Try Living in asia or somewhere for 6 months (which I love by the way) but they only have 2 different weather conditions , at least in the UK there is slightly more diversity in the greyness 😂
Which is why I live in Tenerife, Cyprus, the Kent coast,, and London. Much better than Dubai.

Yup, to hell with the UK, it's a sinking ship. I started putting together plans at the end of 2020 after what went on I could see the trajectory, especially with higher taxes - and all for what? High taxes for NOTHING! Now I have a place in Cyprus but haven't committed to being there full time yet. What frustrates me is the small brained people who say stupid things like "can't move and work in another country now thanks to Brexit" - yes you can. You can go work and live in any country in the world, always have been able to, you just have to go through the correct process and the EU only counted for a tiny portion of the all the countries in the world anyway. Those are the people who won't get off their bums and actually do something, instead they will just stay in the UK and moan about it.
Do the Greek Cypriots feel under threat from the north (Turkish-occupied area) ?

The uk wouldn’t be soo bad if it wasnt for the terrible weather most the time especially where it’s dark by 3pm in winter and either cloudy or raining and when it’s isn’t night - it just sooo depressing and gets me down a lot and really puts a damper on doing anything else here . I mean there are a lot of activities nice places and events but when the weather is crap it’s very hard to get the motivation to do anything .
Am 55 and single and fit and healthy and live off savings and own my own house outright and this video has inspired me more to make the move which I was thinking about for a long time - I have very little family keeping me here so I might as well take the plunge - only real issue keeping me back Is trying to sell my house in an area where theres low demand or where am going to get very little for it if I want a quick sale .
I am UK born, and was brought up 'Middle Class'. I became a trained professional with an international qualification. I moved to Australia. I became an Australian Citizen and got the passport. After returning to Europe, I later got Portuguese residency while the UK was still in the EU. In the past year I have been the victim of crime three times in the UK within 1 mile of my home. The Police have done nothing. In one case they had all the witnesses and evidence they needed, but they still messed it up. I am only still in the UK as I have to look after my parents.. and why? Because the social care system is almost inhumane. It may be best if they just execute old people. Sounds harsh, but the reality is not much better. When my parents pass, I am off forever. If you have money, and you can avoid crime, and don't mind poor weather, fine, otherwise forget it. How such a great country could become so unattractive is amazing.
Lol what crime? Either you are the unluvkiest bloks going or lying?
How can someone leave if they don't have the money to leave? Most jobs have crap pay and you still end up in debt as the money is not enough to pay the bills. why aren't there any charities to help people to move? The UK is the Titanic!
When immigrants go somewhere and build wealth with all determination and hard work, they usually start with nothing but a suit case a wallet with enough cash to get by for a couple of weeks. Basically nothing. This has been the case for generations now in pretty much every country that has taken immigrants over the last hundred years, from Buenos Aires to Bremen.

why would you move back here haha crime is far lower in sea. and the people are friendly.
I lived in Bangkok as a teacher and eventually left for Hanoi Vietnam. On arrival Hanoi was cold wet, grey, cloudy a bit like UK in Autumn and I absolutely loved it. Bangkok eternally Sunny, Hot and Humid got to me and was glad I got away.
Wow! All the negative comments about the U.K. and London. Is it fair? Is it someone ranting and raving, and out of order. I never lived in London but always enjoyed visiting the city. I suppose visiting and residing are two different things, but I was never bored in London.
Maybe not but living here is totally different. It’s a rat run.
4:16 "They have to raise taxes otherwise they will go bankrupt". I had to switch off at this point, because it shows you don't know what you're talking about. A country with a sovereign currency can never go bankrupt, because all its debts are denominated in its own currency, which it controls the supply of.
I worded it slightly wrong but you can read about it online, Bank of England had to step in to stop the UK exonomy from collapsing bevause of the gov’s proposed policies
Also, heavy taxation is very much a communist trope.
It appears however that the UK is going down the dangerous road of institutional Communism for decades now.
@@tuomaskiv Which time are you referring to, specifically?
Depends how much of the country's currency is being "sent back home" by a rapidly-growing portion of the population. Also funny how "home" is not actually the UK. Telling, really.

Yep. The coin clippers with their debt and usury
A lot of the issues are simply policy. In actual fact the government should focus on growth, cutting taxes, capping immigration (which strains public services). And this is where the UAE perhaps does it right. By not allowing immigrants access to public services and ruling out citizenship with strict rules on deportation both parties (the worker and the government) are very straight on what is expected from both parties.
Your comments on culture are utterly laughable given your new location. I look forward your video on low tax, culturally 'rich' Dubai and the rights you receive there. Keen to hear your views on the weather and climate of the UAE too particularly during the summer months.
You reference the risk taking culture of the UK. Again, some of this is culture, regulation or maybe you haven't experienced enough different industries. Finance is a disproportionately big part of the economy but you see innovation here, but like most parts of the UK economy the incentives for taking risks are evaporating, tax, regulation. Again, this is policy (a low growth policy). Also worth remembering that the British (culturally in the main) are not greedy and and don't want to fleece people. Compare that with say the UAE where everything now is a grind, from getting a taxi and avoiding requests to tip, to buying a car or property to simply just eating out. The service is poor, everyone is out to fleece once another because it is a quick-buck society (society used very loosely here).
Net zero is a toxic falicy and it hurts everything. It would never benefit a country like the UK, it wouldn't benefit the world (if you subscribed to global warming doctrine). Again, this is policy and can be changed.
In short, the issues are (as you correctly state) a product of poor/weak government and policies that nobody really voted for or understood. For now, the UK remains a democracy and these things can be changed.
Yeah, the weather here is shocking, but when the sun does shine you see a decent lift in mood.
Decent video. Many thanks.
Thank you for putting this all into a well founded perspective.
I think you make a few good points.
For me, I see growing discontent and apathy with the young people in the UK. They are giving up hope. They can't afford a house so will become rent slaves, they can't save so they take on debt.
They're paying the highest taxes since WW2 but infrastructure is failing and falling apart. Schools, Police, Roads, NHS are all falling apart. Everyone must be wondering where their taxes are going.
The middle and working classes are losing assets to the wealthy at rates not seen since Victorian times.
To believe in Capitalism, young people need to belive the can accumulate capital. This is not happening in the UK, so why should they stay there?
The UK is a great country if you're in the elite and can dodge taxation and hoard assets. (Look at Sunaks wife for a good example).
But if you're not rich or in a position of power to influence the rich. There really is not a lot left in the UK.
Good but last place I'd go is Dubai, followed by Switzerland.
Exactly... Dubai is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Woe betide you if you ever speak out against anyone who is in a position of power.. Even your boss.

I was with you until you suggested moving to the middle east. No thanks. Everywhere is in trouble and each place comes with different merits and flaws. I like the british countriside. Cities here are awful but aren't they like that everywhere? My experiences in ireland, france and the usa were all worse than in the uk.
Wow. I live in Chester, UK .Sounds like it couldn't be more different from your shitty life in London. I've got friends from Portugal who work in jobs they love, which they studied for, as in Portugal there's nothing. On one salary (slightly more than minimum wage) they can pay the rent and bills, while the second salary allows them to enjoy life and get home a couple of times a year. Another couple i know (a Syrian and a Slovak) decided to move to Australia, couldn't stand it and moved back here, then tried Dubai, hated it and have now settled back in the UK. I'm wondering, what is this "London" place you speak of. Could this be the problem?
Chester is one of the best places in the UK to live. It even has the oldest racecourse in Britain, Roman walls, the river dee, cafes, bars and restaurants galore and friendly people. It is the gateway to North Wales, 45 minutes from Manchester, 25 minutes from Liverpool and just 2 hours 30 minutes to London by train.
You should visit London.
Yeah I'm from Italy and people here just dream to work in the UK, I've heard some people who now live there that yeah people are more rude but more real, and the job is legal and well paid
LONDON NOT ENGLAND...phiss
Remember the grass is always greener... The UK isn't about to suffer population collapse or extreme climate crisis like many will.
I wouldn't put money on that. There's a huge demographic crisis in the UK, with a huge number of elderly people requiring social care and who will be shuffling off this mortal coil in the next few years. Compare that with the bottom of the population pyramid and the very few young people who pay taxes and work.
@@klawlor3659 yeah but with the massive immigration we have it will take us a lot longer to feel it unlike many other countries. South Korea is the worst case
@@Jonnyicey You would think so wouldn't you? Truth is that less than 15% of immigrants coming here are actually in full time work (surprising figures). So the question is, who makes up the shortfall and where is the money going to come from? Because right now we are facing a demographic cliff. The immigrants may make up the "replacement" younger faces, but they ain't making up for the loss of money into the system.
@@klawlor3659 we have immigration that negates it unlike many other countries that will feel the full force the aging populations
@@Jonnyicey Being an aging minority in a country that is majority younger than us and generally hates us is not a demographically good position to be in. I'd rather face economic collapse through an aging population that ethnic cleansing and an enforced Caliphate. Both of which are inevitable if the current trajectory is not reversed.
Sorry but as regards the first point that’s completely irrelevant.
If the average income was as high as in the richest countries the cost of housing would be even higher than it is. So as long as you’re talented or intelligent or have a marketable skill everyone else being not doing so great is fine.
poor english
I'm English and I'm staying here for better or for worse. If citizens of anywhere want to leave then there's the door, try not to let it hit your arse on the way out.
If you want to waste your one life trying to save a country, be my guest
@@tuomaskiv I’m so thankful, as you should be as a European, my grandad who fought at Normandy didn't have this attitude, but then your not English are you 💁
@@WestlecI'm a Brit and had relatives that fought in WW2. I'm glad my grandparents on both sides aren't alive to see what a corrupt miserable shithole this country is today. Corruption, abysmal infrastructure, rubbish quality of life, unaccountable bureaucrats/politicians. The worst decision I made was returning to this craphole.
This guy is an idiot, there are 70,000,000 people in the UK, approximately 5% are millionaires, that’s 3,500,000 so 3,200 is less than 0.1% I don’t think that’s everyone leaving, probably more millionaires entering the UK 😂 chatting rubbish
@Westlec He may not be English but his comment is still valid. There were 27 Million Russians who gave their lives fighting the Nazis and WON the war. Should Russian people still stay in Russia today to fight a unjustified war in Ukraine because their ancestors didn't run before??
"I loved London, I was obsessed with London, London was the place to be"
- proceeds to list everything that makes British people British and why it's all sh*t. Just incase anyone was wondering, we've always moaned about everything, we've always been passive aggressive, and we've been getting drunk since alcohol was invented.
Most people when reaching pension age will leave the UK. Better to spend your money abroad and get quality and quantities and value for money and better weather. The UK has Lost its identity and becoming a dangerous place to live. Can't get a hospital operation without waiting for years or a dentist to take you on. Doctors don't see patients face to face its more like an oppointment for a quick phone call and prescription or told to go to the hospital. All the big manufacturing has gone leaving unemployment out of control. Housing lists out of control homes given to illegals entering the country. Homeless people living on the streets. Yet in he Conservative MP's areas where the money is spent and not in deprived areas where illegals are dumped to make them worse.
Many countries insist that elderly immigrants have private health insurance, which many pensioners can't afford. Also the tax threshold in the UK is higher than in many countries.
I use to back year’s ago wanted to LIVE in the UK but not NO MORE… seems like NOW EASTERN EUROPE LOOKS BETTER…
Lived in the Uk for last 25 yrs in late 90’s it was an amazing place and the living standards were quite high . Started to see a massive change since 2008 financial crisis. After that it have been a steep decline . Since 2015 it’s been a disaster . Left a year ago because I just could not take it anymore and the culture is totally toxic . There is no standards anymore and infrastructure is horrendous all over the country . And the crime makes it unbearable. The Brits hate it if you’re an ambitious person and they don’t want anyone to succeed . I am so happy I have left . And I would advise young people to get the hell out of that horrible place . I will never go back to that dump . Even 3rd world countries I been too has a better Living standards. Poland and rest of Eastern Europe is 1000 times better than Uk .
Agree 100%
Guess that's why all the polish plumbers and lady house cleaners come to London and make loads of cash money 😂😂
Poland wages are on the level of my country aka they are fd, the uk since brexit and the w@ r is not that attractive anymore,still Central Europe got the money even tho people in those countries also complain, for rich Europeans only options is anglophone countries, idk about all this guys getting attracted to 0% taxes and tourism ads.
The Brits hate ambitious people & don't want you to succeed.. I've never heard so much BS.. You also sound like a Soviet communist propaganda plant.
At time of writing it is the 6th of June and it's cold and windy with spells of rain. Just had the heating on for an hour. The economy and the politics is worse than the weather. So it's Spain for me, bollocks to this shit.
Get out while you can. You'll thank yourself later in life.
Things are NOT going to improve. Mainly because things CAN'T improve. There's zero money in the kitty, there's an ever decreasing pool of people to pay taxes and an ever increasing amount of elderly people to splurge money on. There's poor quality services, poor quality housing, crap infrastructure and healthcare, crap jobs and conditions...definately time to leave.
Hahahahaha this got me creasing. Truly bollocks to this shit. Wait 9 months in a year to end up with this.
The grass is not always greener somewhere else
@@stevenhull5025
Yet sometimes it is.
Okay , I m not in UK but still gonna leave if you say so.
The wheels have been coming off fur 20 year in the uk and the west , 2008 financial crash basically showed how bankrupt we are . They have kicked the can down the road since then.
I agree with you! Most of the Western world is pretty much fkd.
Any country that has debt is fkd.
Privatisation, globalisation deregulation of the banks, outsourcing jobs, insourcing jobs and endless wars plus being a colony of USA means a parasitic relationship which of course means taxpayers are burdened with the military costs.
BRICS countries are they only places left that are worth living in.
USA is by far the worst. They can't pay off their debt its just too big.
Any NATO appears the same.
If your part of NATO you're rooted.
Australia is another fkd country. People make the typical mistake of assuming things are great in my country when in fact its not.
In the 50s, 60s, 70s, yes but after it headed down hill rapidly.
Governments privitised everything, deregulated the banks, sold off public assets which is tantamount to stealing state assets.
The foundation of any great nation is CHEAP ENERGY.
If you cant get cheap energy your pretty much fkd as a country.
Punitive taxes are also killing our countries.
Oligarchs have gamed the system for their own benefit and thats meant we are suffering because of it.
Thanks, and yes! So many people here blaming it all on "the UK allowing too many immigrants" as if, 1- the UK has any choice in the matter, and 2- these issues were as simple as there being more working age people in the country (which is generally a good thing) and if that simply stopped everything else would right itself. Delusion is what I call it.
There are decades of political and economic decisions that led to this state in the West, the UK is just more obvious because it's a tiny non-productive country that decided to cut ties with its most important trade partner without any kind of long term plan beyond that (completely idiotic, but I guess they thought it was all down to migration too and everything would magically get better...).
At the end of the day, no one can be the best forever, and once you think you're already on top it's too easy to get complacent and greedy, and things just go downhill from there. It's what we're seeing in Western Europe today, and the West as a whole to a lesser extent.
I'm trying to move to Asia soon because it feels like it's the new up and coming place, where standards of living are actually increasing, new infrastructure still gets built, and innovation is still welcomed instead of feared. The Brits can keep their 200 year old decrepit buildings, lukewarm beer, shit weather, and ailing infrastructure. As long as they can have a pint, watch the footie, and "keep calm and carry on" while gossiping about their inbred royals they'll probably be satisfied enough with their lives.
The west is the richest part of the world ,,, while Europe was richer then the US not long ago ,,, now wealth is shifting towards the US , the US is far richer then Europe mainly thanks to the technology and manufacturing sector the resources and growing population ,,, many innovative and educated Europeans and non Europeans are immigrating to the US which naturally harms
S Europe further .

At last an immigrant trying to get people to leave the UK, thank you, well done.
This video seems massively biased, you cannot define the Britain by a few years living in London.
Britain is a beautiful country with rich history, culture, music, art, food and people.
This whole video is an attempt to sell his idea and business, don’t let him fool you.
Places like Dubai suck people away from their country by offering low taxes and other benefits which are not possible in a nation which supports its people, there is no comparison.
When i am getting the data from the OECD (2022) /Net income after taxes - US dollars PPP exchange rates / Great Britain is on the 9th place. The wikipedia statistic is also not normed on one specific year.
I am on your side on many points, I have also emigrated, albeit from Germany, but yes, I see the trend across Europe. "The American dream" is more real in Dubai or Batumi than in London or Berlin. And I can only advise everyone to give it a try.
Net income would take a dive the moment we are forced to stop borrowing and live within our means
stop dissing us!!
You get what you deserve.
Rents are crazy in South Spain that many Brits Dutch scandues are moving there 😮😮😮
I'd leave but I have family here and am not an antsy coward.
Watching this right now feeling incredibly frustrated and angry about how awful the weather has been for about 3 weeks straight. It’s June!!!!
Lol
I guess it won't help you if I say that it's the same weather everywhere in Europe. We are technically still in spring, not summer, but it has been shitty everywhere, here in Germany it's awful (as in the UK, cold, rain, grey, etc) and the same in Barcelona where I come from and my family lives. It's not only in the UK.
In these cases you don't hear the climate-change activists and media repeat their slogans, they only talk loud when it's hot but total silence when it's cold and rains.
Hey Thomas!
I'm from Ukraine and for some last time lived in Moscow and Saint Petersburg(right near Finland). And I don't know where to go. I can use only russian passport(my spouse has only that). Right now I'm considering european digital nomad visas.
For Dubai, I visited in late september and it was hot as hell.
The main issue with places like south asia or latin america - startup/tech networking is close to zero, there's just frugal freelancers and guys who went there for cheap s*x.
London at least in top 10 startup cities. So as I approach this dynamics it makes me confused, idk where to go
I don't know your issues but i'd suggest choosing a base (like Dubai in the winter), and a secondary place to stay when it's getting too hot in the UAE for about 5 month. Malaysia could be option. Good luck!
Go to Estonia or Vietnam
Go to southeast Asia until you figure it out, Luckily ukrainian passport is still a very good passport. You dont have to stay there, but countries like Philippines you can stay for up to 3 years, I think malaysia you can stay 3 months, Thailand is an option also but the immigration is a bit of a pain in the ass. Take a look at Asia, you can stay there for the time being until you figure something out, it at least gives you time and space to breathe.
Stay in Russia in the summers and in Dubai in the winters.
STAY AND FIGHT....FOR AMERICAN OWNED UKRAINIAN LAND........
I agree with a lot of what you said but I do want to ask, how much of your change in opinion was a change in you rather than a change in London?
Brexit hasn’t happened yet lol😂😂😂 unreal.
Exactly, The UK is still following the EU to the letter
"You can have your cake and eat it" as a hungarian we have a strict immigration policy IN THE EU...
Yes we got Brexit in name only.
This was exactly the brexit you voted for. You're just in denial mate. Ego brain.
Yeap, because we have a Blairite government & civil service who have turbo charged immigration into the UK
Counterpoint. It's still pretty great here. Millionaires leaving. Why? Too much tax? They don't get too keep their money? Sounds like greed to me. They don't want to give back. Sure if you live in a city full of greedy people, then yeah that's a mistake. I live in a semi-rural village and it's brilliant. Everyone's nice, the traffic is calm, the views are lovely and there are plenty of places to visit. Honestly, this just sounds like a load of people who want to take from England and not give back and if that's the case, we probably don't need you anyway.
People compare the UK as though the whole place is like Londonstan or Birminghamstan. It's not.
Have you ever thought of setting up a business as a de-motivational speaker?
Oil/gas prices gone up >> therefore everything else also gone up in price. Additionally the expenses increased (Ukraine war) for the government. They are raising taxes now to get more money out of the people.
Erm. Just move to the countryside. ……… focus on assets not ‘income’ Grow your own food get in touch with nature who wants to live in a concrete jungle like Dubai?.. I do agree though, with you, that the bureaucrats in the government are Removing the hope for a better life from the citizens, people are becoming pessimistic (but not those who live on smallholdings)
If London raised you don't give up on London. ❤ Pray for England
Leaving the UK is one thing, but leaving the UK for Dubai? Never! Eastern Europe for me
