I already live in one of the shit holes of the country mate with some of the cheapest housing but with not a lot of good jobs available unless you became a tradie out of school (wish I had to be honest). Half of those guys seem to have gotten out of here anyway, they can often earn six figures abroad or on the oil platforms.
Been working my arse off for a decade and the only reason I can afford to move away is because a relative died and I got some inheritance. I can either move somewhere else in the UK or take a chance on a better life somewhere else. At this point, I’m that angry with this country, it’s blatant hypocrisies, mismanagement and corruption, that I’d rather leave and take a chance elsewhere than continue on here. I know everywhere has its own problems but I really think this place (England) is a piss take compared to elsewhere.
I would have been out of the country permanently pre-Brexit if I’d have had enough money at the time but I didn’t have a pot to piss in. Felt like that scene in the movie where the door starts coming down but the characters don’t have enough time to escape so they get locked in and resign themselves to having to take the hard way to get out.
If I was going to stay here, I’d be moving to Glasgow or elsewhere in Scotland. Much more competently run place than England with much friendlier people. Hopefully they’ll find a way to get their second referendum because they don’t deserve to have been sucked into this Brexit shit show like they have been and they’ll do just fine without the rest of the UK.
