      @@JoshuaTharby I know it’s a hypothetical scenario about if it was your last twelve months of life would you want to be in England. A good majority of people who have twelve months to live aren’t mobile enough to walk to the local shop let alone fly around the world. My father has recently passed away and he struggled to walk to the end of the street and ironically he had two places in Marbella. He passed away in England. I’m not having a go at you as I understand what you mean about moving away from the UK and I am making plans to do this myself.

    I agree that the UK is in trouble but why do videos like this keep mentioning the Labour government as the problem? Its clear for anyone to see that tories totalled this country. Labour might not be great either but we've had tories for the last 14 years. Labour barely come into this.

      Tories weren’t putting people in prison for online content. They didn’t stop the winter fuel allowance.
      There wasn’t a blatant two tier justice system as there is now.
      You may not be old enough to remember the last Labour government with Blair but their lies took us to an illegal war where not only did our soldiers die because of their lies but so did hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraq’s.

    The assumption, when people say 'stop complaining and start doing' is that people exclusively complain and otherwise just sit there. It is an innate part of English culture to complain. I complain about my guitar not being in tune, but it doesn't mean I should just cut the strings off and start working on a flute. It means I tune the guitar. People who leave the UK are people who have no ties to the land, economic black holes that see money as the only cherishable thing. Well what if their new place turns bad? No problem, just keep moving around. Take advantage of that white skin and degrees to get any opportunity you want in less fortunate places where you, in comparison to their costs of living, get to live like a king.
    Some people want to be in their homeland so they can be a part of the people who are helping build it up again for their future generations. Some people don't want to just give up and let somebody else do it. Most people simply can't afford or otherwise are utterly incapable of this simple dream people keep peddling of 'just go out there and sell things on ebay while on the beach in Bali'.
    That's why voting exists, so the people can contribute to the determining outcomes of their country. If people didn't care, they wouldn't vote, and they'd leave to Thailand or whatever.
