    Yes. It’s lovely to go back once or twice a year. To be honest, I think I see everyone back in the UK more regularly than the people that live nearby! I left when I was 22 and am 50 next week. Am going back to the UK next week / birthday / family etc. I usually go to London to meet up with friends… This time I am not going. It’s too dangerous now. Gone are the days that I’d meet up with friends ,have a drink and catch the last train back. No thanks. Life is an adventure! Keep enjoying your life in Finland! ❤️from 🇵🇹.

    When I sold my house in 2021 and left my job to live on the NE coast UK on my own without knowing anyone, people I knew and worked with were shocked. I said, what’s the worst that can happen, if I don’t like it I’ll move again. Now nearly 3 years later I have lots of new friends, a partner, my friend from work has moved up, my sister and her family have moved up and I have no regrets at all. I live a frugal life but the beach is free and growing my own food is free. I am open to moving again, even abroad if my gut feeling told me. After all, what’s the worst that can happen?

Nope and these are just a tiny sample of a great many. Also, perhaps another thing to factor in if considering moving from the UK right now is to look at the % of the population in the destination you are interested in who went to the concert.

    Every country is different and every country has it's issues. Before rushing off to another do a lot of research, weigh up the pros and cons and stop having the mindset that the grass is greener because it isn't always or it feels it is until the novelty wears off. True contentment and success comes from within you. You can be happy and successsful whereever you are in the World no matter how chaotic the external. For those people that are moaning about the current collapse of the UK and the last 4 years then you must factor in that the agenda is global and very few places are not signed up. It is not just the so called 5 Eyes it is all globally. Different countries are at different stages and approaching it slightly differently. If thinking of moving also factor in how things were on the ground during the Covid and how strict they were actually enforced. If it's been done once then it can be done again. I have lived in 2 other countries in the past that on the surface appear far "better" than the UK and have citizenship of one of these now and we could move tomorrow if we want. Currently we choose to live in the UK and for lots of reasons which I won't list- and yes you heard me right! Also our families and friends are here. If things get worse you need to be with your close connections. I actually felt safer in the UK during lockdowns and that period of time. The chaos and dysfunctional side of the UK is actually a benefit in many ways when you take into account trying to impose tyranny on the people. Basically it didn't in reality work very well here. There is a very active freedom movement in the UK and lots of organised push back currently going on- which you won't see in quite a few other places. Yes the UK the weather is poor, the potholes bad and NHS declining etc. The migration issue also a big concern however it's part oif the global agenda and it is not just occurring in the UK.

      What about staying and fighting for the children's future? If our forefathers had had the same mindset, they would never have given their lives so that we could grow up in the relatively free country we did. Do we just abandon the sinking ship, or try and rescue it? I know it's a difficult one to figure out, and ultimately people have to do what is right in their hearts. I am disabled, reliant on my husband to get anywhere (I am the driver, but I can't get to my car without him pushing my wheelchair), we are both retired (ill health), living on occupational pensions as we are not of state retirement age, and as far as I am aware, in rented housing, no country would take us anyway. I am a believer in, and follower of, Christ Jesus, and I am also aware of how Christians in some countries are persecuted. Though it's looking like it's heading that way here. We have family here, in my case grandchildren, I can't bring myself to abandon that sinking ship, even if I could find somewhere that won't be a prime target for God's great wrath when it comes. I do believe it is the west, particularly America, the UK and the EU which will suffer the greatest punishment. So where do we go, how do people like us escape? We have no option but to stay, but I would like to know just where in the world we COULD go to, if we were to change our minds. God bless.

    I don't think it matters where one lives, as long as it's what they personally want, not someone or something else, "Wherever you go there you are" springs to mind. Neither places, people, possessions, nor religious texts can make one content, it comes from within and can't be found anywhere else!
    Everything external is an illusion, many people wrongly believe that a holiday, a new car or kitchen, or some other shite will make them happy, and sadly even mature people still think this is the key to their problems, which only illustrates their complete lack of self-awareness! If one is content even the small things bring joy, a good walk, cooking a meal, or a glass of wine.

Everywhere has it's ups and downs, it's just a case of choosing which place is the best for individual circumstances.

No council tax, No ULEZ, no congestion charges, no TV licence required, no MOT or equivalent required, it's not compulsory to insure your car to drive it on public roads, the equivalent of 'road tax' comes with third party insurance, petrol is half price, GST (VAT) is only 10%, my daily drive is a 6 litre V8, the weather is amazing, six months of relentless sunshine, no snow or ice, far less crowded, Western Australia is ten times the size of the UK and only has 2.5 million people. It's easy to get doctor, dentist and hospital appointments. Salaries are higher and properties are cheaper. You couldn't pay me enough money to move back to the UK.

The hardest to convince ironically are those becoming British citizens. Have a theory that it mainly has much to do with population density. For example, France has such a high land mass it leaves so many pockets of places that can still reach cities but remain rural. As opposed to the UK which economically is truly an economic primate country geared around London. I suspect will leave in around 4 years once my wife finally accepts how crap the UK is.

      Hi again Nigel, apparently your rather churlish response was directed at me, so I felt it deserved a rather more detailed response.
      Firstly, as a veteran who has lived and served in all sorts of foreign environments (including on operational tours) I'm very familiar with risk, so it's not that which stops me from packing my bags I can assure you.
      Secondly, as I alluded to, I have an adult to care for who is severely mentally disabled, and I'm not sure many countries will be falling over themselves to welcome a married couple nearing retirement with such a responsibility, with open arms, if we could even afford to do it. I'm sure there are many people who have similar stories to mine and very specific reasons why just running to another country isn't an option.
      Whilst you were rather patronisingly calling many people cowards and lazy, your forgot to mention you have a Finnish wife, which would have made your transition to Finland infinitely easier, I'm pretty sure Finland wouldn't have even been on your radar had that not been the case, so not so much stunning and brave as fortuitous IMHO.
      On the point of Finland being the land of the free, as I pointed out, Finland is a member of a dictatorship, the EU, I'm sure I don't have to point out the ramifications of that, and their desperation to get a digital ID off the ground etc. I didn't need the BBC to tell me that either, which is great, as I pay no attention whatsoever to anything they say. I of course accept that the British government aren't exactly great believers in personal sovereignty either, but I'd rather take my chances with them than the EU, on a scale basis alone.
      As NATO continue to poke the Russian Bear, seemingly determined to provoke a full scale conflict with NATO I'd probably refrain from feeling a bit smug living in Finland, I'm pretty sure I don't have to spell out why, especially as Finland have just conveniently joined NATO.
      Lastly, as a brother in Christ, I genuinely wish you all the success and happiness in Finland for you and your family, but I would urge you to exercise a bit more empathy and humility with your fellow man, not all have been blessed with your education and circumstances, just sayin' God Bless.

    The thing that has changed is the destinations that people would have considered. It would have been Canada, Australia, New Zealand, USA. Other than a few states in the US, they are off the table now. Eastern Europe is now very much on the table along with some of South America.

    Very nice to hear you speak highly of Finland.
    Many people here complain how shit this country is and how everything is better somewhere else but I guess it is the human nature to be never satisfied.
    I know some Finns who live in London and they are good friends but they wholeheartedly admit that if they were in Finland they would probably have nothing to do with each other. However when abroad the Finnishness unites them.

      The same phenomenon can be observed in England, and this is what I was making the video about. People who moan and go all doom & gloom, but they refuse to do anything about it. One thing that's very different is that Finns are proud of being Finns. Finns are still allowed to celebrate their own country. In England, kids are taught to be ashamed of England. And if you fly the English flag, you are considered a racist and/or far right. As we know, this is not the same in Finland. As we know, many houses have their own flag poles, and will fly the flag of Finland. Hyvä Suomi!!!!!!

    This is totally subjective matter. There are billions of variables and multiple definitions of a lot of words that we would use in arguing the subject. My opinion as an emigrant, and as a man who lived in a number of countries and who has multiple "nationalities" and I base my opinion only on one first article of UDHR: All countries where I lived (including UK) are the same in terms of denying people the basic human right for freedom in the main aspect: freedom to choose where to live. In every country you need to ask a local government the permission to be in the country, the permission to leave the country and the permission to return to a country. Most people in modern world are linked to a particular state and this is the root of the slavery. Every 10 years a man is forced to apply for such a permit - it is called the passport. The only difference between the countries (basically they are all the prisons) are how comfortable the prison and a cell is and what you allowed to do in order to live. I tend to think that the only way that is left for a body to emigrate is to become "stateless". I tend to think this is how all these "illegals" come now to different countries. They are all "stateless" and protected by UN Charter of stateless person and they can move their body around most of the countries. The soul is free anywhere. Thanks for video.

      Thanks for an intelligent, well-written comment - in your 3rd or 4th language. This is another reason to leave dumbed-down, bread-dead, Britain. Like you, I'd also abolish passports, but to make it financially feasible all welfare and state educated health care and education would have to go.

      @@nigelwatson2750 Thank you, Nigel. A particular "nationality I assume as a contract between a state and a person. A person getting benefits from a state and returning responsibilities as a payment. British nationality used to be one of the most valuable in terms of "value for money" ratio. Some people would choose the ability to travel freely and rule of law as the most valuable benefits of British nationality in exchange of honest work (this was my choice). Other people would choose the nationality based on other benefits - housing or healthcare in exchange of obedience. Unfortunately too many people have chosen the latter. The price for this not very wise, in my opinion, but easy choice is going to be very high for all of us. No wonder a lot of British people are leaving the sinking ship. But for those who are still here - including me - lets get together and patch the holes. If we succeed, may be the people who've left will come back one day.
