Why I want to LEAVE the UK - for good
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2023
- There are many and mounting frustrations living here in the UK. But would my family be any better off if we left? And to go where? Many believe we are still one of the best countries in the World... But that belief is fading fast and we are now seriously considering taking the first steps to leaving the UK for good... #crime #costofliving #nhs #police #brokenbritain

I'm 39 and im desperate to leave the UK for a better country. Everything discussed in this video couldn't be any more true. I'm proud to be British, but I'm ashamed at what this country has become.
Get out if you can.Its gone down.
The perfect country where everything is always good, right & proper does not exist. There is a place called Heaven where everything always does, but you have to die to go there.
why? its one of the best countries in the world@@bertibear1300
Me and the missus are looking into moving to spain,this countrys gonna get way worse but never better! Even if we end up in a static home on a park,be surrounded ny like minded brits in the sun!
@@jamiebrown8811 And what makes you think life in Spain would be any better, financially? Especially if the EU crumbles. That happens, they take all 27 down with them like tenpins in a bowling alley. There are only 3 that I'd seriously consider (if I had to), namely America, Canada and Australia, And as we all know, they're all currently being put through the tumble dryer themselves. If push came to shove, though, think I'd opt for Canada, already know folks out there, lifestyle pretty similar to ours. The only real drawback is that winter of theirs, but as someone's already told me, all the homes are centrally heated throughout, so no great big issue really.
I live in South Australia (I grew up in Birmingham). I visited England in late 2022 and couldn’t believe how England has deteriorated since I left in 2007.
Come on Ben, England is the best country in the World and especially in 2024 x x x
@@Website9 Best country, for who?
@kathleenc7337 for all of us. The dangerous thing about misery is when you give it life, it will take you on a dangerous ride of seeing everything in a negative light.
This country is incredible for every single citizen. We have more freedoms and privileges than any nation in the world.
I think we know the answer to that! @@kathleenc7337
@@Website9 I do hope you're taking your medication.
I live in UK. Get paid 2k p/m and I'm skint after the second week. The services are shit, government corrupt. Help!!! 😢
The three lockdowns blew me out of the water. I was actually living life before that. Not now. I can't even afford to heat my home without a major wallet drain.
Politics is too much of a game to be competent I say.
Exactly the same here mate. Pre lockdown I never considered the price of food. 2K was good money!
Sympathy mate. English born and my grandad was working as a rent collector, but bought his own new house in the 1960s whilst bringing up two daughters and his wife didn’t work. Today a couple with professional careers are often described as ‘the working poor’. Houses in the 1960s cost x2.5 the average annual salary, now it’s x10. In real terms relatively annual salaries have stagnated too.
I believe slavery wasn’t abolished, but it was redesigned as endless financial credit and needless consumerism. If you’re earning a decent salary, never have a zero credit card balance, have zero real savings and would likely lose your home if you lost your job, then you’re in that ‘working poor’ debt trap.
You won’t miss anything once it’s replaced by sun sea different people seasonally . Beautiful food , taxing system completely different . I left 18 yrs ago and never regret it I chose Cyprus very similar to Britain they even drive like us right hand drive !
Except no illegal immigrants because a camp surrounded by a massive fence and barbed wire awaits whilst they are turned around within the month for deportation back where they came from ! No traffic problems but we have only just got speed cameras and vans !
The houses aren’t cheap but you definitely get much more value for money in size and garden besides which it’s right by the beach .
No inheritance tax and capital gains at 19% .
The quality of life is so good it’s one long never ending holiday . Everyone speaks English and a survey was conducted and Cypriots are openly racist they always have been fiercely protecting their core values and customs . Give it a go you won’t miss a thing !
I'm 50 they destroyed my home, bastards, the bastards have ruined the place I love, I hate what they've done.

I’m a Brit, I’ve lived overseas since 1982 in 13 countries managing hotels. I left Hong Kong after 25 years and returned last year so my teenage kids can finish their schooling.
As soon as they finish school we will leave the U.K. and head to Singapore to retire. This country is a complete disaster for all the reasons you described 😢
I envy you!
Being blessed with the ability to easily learn languages is such a blessing, I believe it’s like a talent similar to being able to pick up music easily. If I could easily learn a language there no way I would stay in England. But I can’t so I have to stay here and fight.
@@HeartNDagger18I agree. I am sure learning another language is a skill some are born with. I have tried to speak French for years and although I can string a question together, I just can't seem to understand the response unless the person speaks so slowly that they resemble someone who's had a stroke.
One reason overwhelmingly, immigration.. you wait for 10 yrs ..! Jesus Christ!!😢😢😮😮
@@stevefricker7005 Then you're not trying hard enough. ANY IDIOT WITH A BRAIN THAT WORKS can learn another language the same way that you learned English.......you listen, you understand what's being said to you, and then finally YOU SPEAK. It really is THAT SIMPLE!! Anyone can do it, there are no special talents required.
The older generation has been really fortunate to have experienced the UK when it was thriving and you felt safe and the cost of living was not unattainable.... the younger generation will never experience that ever again... the best has already past us and the worst is still to come.
Agreed 🙏🏻
The older generation fucked this generation. 😂

Don't blame Brexit blame the corruption in government 😎👍
I Just turned 60 and looking back England was a fantastic Country to grow up in, born in London and Made in England. I planning on doing a bit of travelling around Asia and experience the culture. There is a saying - If a few good people do nothing then Evil will Prevail. The good people of Britain has allowed Evil to Prevail.
so you want to go into the belly of the beast???
I’d say the people in charge of good people have allowed evil to happen.
There comes a time when there is no alternative but to do so.@@chozusmakavelli
We were never asked, we were told. Time for a government to work for our people not against us. 🏴🏴🇮🇲🏴🇯🇪🇬🇧
We're bowing to a supremacist death cult, well, when I say WE, I mean the white people who turned their back on Christianity. We have the leaders we deserve, make no mistake. Our country has turned to shit because we turned our back on God and now we are living under the judgement of God, so is the United States. Fallen empires, fallen societies. I'm afraid for Paul and everyone else, there is nowhere left to go. Spain was conquered by Islam in the past and it will be again - that is the plan of the European Union, to divide and conquer, destroy the white Christians and give all authority to Satan.
I emigrated to Croatia last year, it has a low population density and guards it's children very strongly. To see the happy snake of kids being walked to the library is a clear sign of a healthy Christian society.
Do you speak Croat or are you just like the immigrants who come to the UK and can't speak the language?
Been thinking of the same for a coupla years since I visited Croatia. Been there twice and love it, Bosnia and Montenegro too. I left Eng;and in 1998 for Australia for four years and the USA for the past twenty two. The Balkans is the ultimate for me. Split, Dubrovnik, Trogir - all wonderful. I have family in England but I couldn't go back to live, it's too hard on people.
You had me there till you mentioned Christian.. I don’t see as that has anything to do with it
@@davidpillinger2699 balkans wonderful? nothing works there, you cant make any money, and the people are beyond lazy, good luck to anyone with getting anything done there
I left in November 2020 because I didn't like biomedical fascism. Finland is paradise on earth compared to England ua-cam.com/video/g5-xLvQ9KHg/v-deo.html
I’m 52 and this country is not the country I grew up in , it’s a vile lawless place that has happened over the last 20 years and is fundamentally different to how it was in the 70-80s and no longer a nice safe place to be as it once was
100% correct 👍
Even the '90s and early 2000s were hanging in there.. and you could live with it... but the last 10 yrs have really gone to piss though.
100% correct 👏👏👏👏👏
My thoughts entirely
I am same age as you and feel it’s been over the last 30 odd years maybe a bit more changes have come and not for the better
I’m 61 years old and I’m selling up and leaving this country for good. I’m moving to Almeria in southern Spain where property is affordable and the life is safe and good. Britain is finished. Crime and corruption along with millions of immigrants have destroyed the fabric of the country. Entrepreneurs are discouraged and scumbags have taken over the streets. The police have no powers, the youth have no pride or manners and the streets are dirty. That’s just scratching the surface of the problems that exist. It’s a sad time for me because I love England but it’s not for me anymore.
Good choice.
Snap ....me too my friend '
4 more years max then were retiring ' looking at almeria also 🙏
Wish you luck buddy
You're an immigrant too then lol.
It's nice for those who can leave but those of us who can't afford to, it's really gonna suck!
They should stay and fight all this rather than vanishing. That isnt cool. If they go they are being cowards
The crazy thing with this is that nearly everyone I come across feels the same way yet we still end up with the same people into power, It’s all a facade!
I am no labour supporter, but when old Jeremy Corbyn was taken out by Tony Blairs boys sponsored by Goldman Sachs and jp morgan..I knew what was coming down the line. They are not even pretending there is democracy now.
Most people are sitting on the couch watching football and watching ballroom dancing. There is no chance of a revolution.
Spot on - I don't know anyone who thought defunding the police was a good idea. Guess it's just the ushering in of the One World Order.
There's an inner circle Micheal Gove Dominic Cummins etc they are actualy shady characters false birth certificates adopted at birth who are they !?!
If you want this wave of legal and illegal immigrants to turn into a flood of legal and illegal immigrants?, vote labour!!!

This sort of conversation and frustration is happening everywhere in the UK. The UK is finished and I’ll be out of here within the next year 😊
Exactly same. I am already saving and packaging to leave.. Good luck to you, mate !
@@RolandKleinUKwhere will you move to I can move and live in Europe as hold an irish passport due to my mum family being Irish ☘️
@juliadavison I will moving in denmark 🇩🇰 My childhood friend is living there. And his doing really well. He said the tax is high, but you have a much higher salary and higher living standards. Much cheaper rent and safe peace full country comper to other European countries at the moment. I already sent my staff. Just a few months of saving and I am good to go 😊 I hope you will find a good place. Good luck to you and all the best
Same here. I am leaving the Uk for good within next year and this is the only hope that keeps me going now.
@@RolandKleinUK I was actually considering moving to Denmark funnily enough, I'm 22 how easy is it to get a VISA and citizenship? Just curious.
Im Polish, living in the UK for 20 years now , right now I'm thinking about going to live abroad don't know where yet, Im worrying about my family safety, I loved this country never abuse the system. But the system started abusing regular people.
same here as a Hungarian...
My wife is Polish we already have a home in Poland, I could easily move to Poland, which i think is better to live in than England. However being English right now i feel and so does my wife, we want to stay. There has to be a turning point
Iam Dutch came to the UK in 1968.I am retired now.I have seen it all in the UK.The miners strike the destruction of the working classes and the elite rules the roost in the UK.Poor education for many.A collapsing NHS.Public travel a mess.But I still love this country at 75 I won't be going anywhere.
I left the UK for the Czech Republic 22 years ago. Exactly for the reasons you say, here there is virtually zero crime, its safe to walk around at night (with the Rolex) without fear of getting attacked or even provoked into a confro tation. And I've watched from afar the downfall of the UK. What a shame.
So did I in 2019. Settled in Karvina before Brexit could seal off my escape. The safest and most crime free country I have ever been to. I was encouraged by UA-cam vids from A Brit In Czech. ua-cam.com/video/Qugz69yEfgY/v-deo.html
Finland is the same ua-cam.com/video/Oe1uXFndFcA/v-deo.html
Because it's mostly white.
Everything you guys said is true. I'm glad I watched this, I've been 50-50 as to whether to leave. I'm 100% out of here and taking my kids with me. I've got a daughter and son and fret every time they go out of the house. Why am I living like this in my own country?
@@JesusLordOfLords455Britain is fundamentally broken now, society is declining rapidly, no wonder decent people are thinking about leaving....😮

In France, civil unrest results in protests in the stongest way and politicians are afraid of upsetting the electorate.
Why not in the UK ?
Thanks to Brexit it is now hard to import French goods including their best-selling book "Civil Unrest for Dummies."😂😂
Mind control. All TV channels are government controlled, not just BBC. Football and ballroom dancing to distract the peasants as their money becomes worthless under some mysterious process called inflation.
POLL TAX riots worked out well back in the 80s - soon shut em down

Think back to Convid when people were clapping and banging and rainbow painting.
I'm 69 and I agree with you Paul, a lot of what you say i feel the same way. BUT, we need to stay here to fight for our families, so they can live in OUR Country the way we and our parents grow up in, IF we leave, there's no hope for their future here.
I live as a teacher in Thailand because the kids work hard. Went back to my hood in Dagenham 4 years ago; I was the only British person there. What a shite hole. Why did my grandparents sacrifice everything for us to wreck it in 20 years?
By British you mean white, right? We're not counting coloureds as British?
Motorist are a cash cow for the government

After having lived and worked in 6 different countries, all of them in the first 15 economies in the world, I can guarantee Spain is the best of all, at all levels. Safe country, best police in the world, incredible healthcare system, great weather all year around, nice people everywhere and best food. No other country I've experienced matches that.
Please may I ask which countries have you lived in? I am thinking of spending a year in Italy to try it out after vacationing there. Thanks
@@markt6804

Nice chat guys. 100% agree with you. That comes from a Polish immigrant who come here in 2004.

Would you say Poland was any better under that EU bootlicker Donald Tusk?
@@michaelbritain5546 the same in Poland. Plenty of Brits coming here and taking our jobs.
Fantastic chat fellas. My big issue with the police is that their purpose has been totally diluted if not forgotten. The police force was started as a way to stop crime, the police's role now is to wait for crimes to happen and then attempt to solve them. Bobbys on the beat was just part of the deterrent against crime, now there is no deterrent and no fear of the consequences.
Totally agree mate!
Absolute bollocks
Yep young people don’t give a shit about the police, and the police can’t be arsed with them as they get accused of harassment if they stop them , when I was a kid if a copper stopped you , you would never answer back of the consequences of them taking you home and then you got a slap from your mum or dad for being cheeky
@marcgadd6351 Which part? Do YOU think that street crime in London could be reduced by a greater police presence on the streets? Lack of police presence = not preventing crime, not really disputable! I'm pretty sure none of us blame you guys, it's the system and the system, same as the NHS, immigration etc is failing! I hope Paul sees your other comment regarding coming on the channel, it would be great to hear your story and thoughts.
@@Greggieboy76 hey, I apologise for my comment. I appreciate what you are saying. I had a few beers last night and when I watched the video I got annoyed with the anti police theme. It just gets to us after a while. The constant battering every day by the media. I graft every day for peanuts. No hard feelings.
Absolutely agree 100% on the policing in the UK. Police hiding from trouble spots in cities. I see this in Glasgow on a daily basis. A visible presence on the streets would help curb youth who are running the streets.
Me and my wife are looking to leave UK to her home country in Eastern Europe. In 10 years my council tax will be equivalent to a mortgage payment, it is unsubstantial. The illegal migrant bill is crippling our country along with crime from them.
The '£6 million' a day issue has now increased into an £8 million a day issue... and rising!
And the so called Rwanda plan will never go anywhere apart from wasting more money.
It's 15 Million a day now, we are paying for our own destruction. @@deputyVH
I know this is around two months old but the real hotel figure as of today is £15 m , staggering what could be done with £105 million a week 420 million a month !!

If it wasn’t for my family I’d have upped sticks years ago. I love the history of this country, it’s cultures and traditions, and some parts of it are still beautiful, but it - and we - are being erased and confined to the history books whilst the country and our way of life are deteriorating. 😢

About 16 years ago when I first fitted a dash cam I reported a dangerous driving incident.A police officer visited and the driver was prosecuted. In the last year I witnessed two much worse driving incidents with video evidence. I reported both. Acknowledgement of footage sent in and silence, nothing. I blame the politicians as the police don't even act over shoplifting unless an incident involves more than a £200 theft according to reports on LBC.
You realise that every man and his dog now own dash cams and are now submitting dash cam footage, and the police are completely snowed under with it? The police are prosecuting more people for dangerous driving than ever before, because of dash cams, but if you expect them to be able to action every one of the tens of thousands they are now being sent every month, you're deluded.
@@DaibhidhBhoAlba My Partner had the catalytic converter stolen from her car in a Railway station in the suburbs of London. The car has a dashcam which turns on if the car experiences a jolt. The dashcam recorded video of the thieves' car and some of the characters walking back to their car with the stolen cat converter. We reported to the police, sent the video evidence to them twice and liaised with someone from the Police called a 'community liaison officer' (useless). The video evidence could easily have been corroborated with car park CCTV. But no... no action.. How many cat converter thefts are conducted at station car parks within a 20 mile radius of this car park per week ? I bet the cost to insurance companies runs into millions on an annual basis. You give the Police all the clues they need to act and they do nothing about it. They are absolutely USELESS !!!!
If they the police don’t report it the crime rates stay low, please what a scam the politicians pull on us.
Refreshing. Two proper British gents saying it how it is, being polite about it but not holding punches. It's a damn shame how it's gone.
I've just had my third friend in two years clear off to live abroad. They all had holiday homes abroad to start with to 'test the water' and all have now sold up in the UK and gone.

Great video telling it exactly as it is. The UK is finished & has been for a long time. We’re bled dry for a lifestyle that is simply not reflected in reality.

I emigrated to Oz 35 years ago but try to visit every couple of years mainly as my 89 year old mum is there . Every time I go back things are worse than the previous. During this time I have watched as successive governments have made mistake after mistake hoping I was wrong. Even my adult kids are thankful they are not in the uk. ☹
Paul listening to you and your mate talking about the state of the UK is very depressing but you are totally spot on every body is feeling the same worry for their children so sad 😢
I'm 23 I've been trying to get an Apprentiship for the last 4 years , were trying to move for better opportunity's .I live in the midlands and can't afford many other areas , however everywhere that surrounds us is in a state of long term decay and underfunding. Its brought me close to tears at times. None of us are safe , my neighbour is from hell and can't be evicted because of lack of safeguarding and they don't even have a full tenancy yet. The councils are more happy to spend money on local privet parties then fixing the whole damn Parishes and the midlands have the worst pot holes to top that point off. I'm thinking of moving to Denmark as I rather spend more on a tax system that actually works and benefits all of us then get completely screwed and shot and then get called the perpetrator as that's how this country makes myself and I'm sure the majority of us feel. We have waited far too long to do anything about it and I'm ashamed , I see it in my streets I see it across the midlands I even see it in the south when I visit we have already given up. it's ridiculous
I'm off to Aarhus for a month. Denmark is good however, you really need to speak Danish overall for legal and social cohesion. They are welcoming. It's not into the diversity quotas overall. Ironically, I'm meeting a greek girl who has been there for 3 years and does really well overall.
Well said lads, this country is in a sorry state and I cant see things improving any time soon unfortunatly.
Not with Sir Starmar and his merry band of Woke imbeciles poised and waiting to take office at the next election, good grief it is bloody bad now, God help us all when that lot get in.
As a middle aged man having similar thoughts of moving abroad, it would be good to see the process , pros/cons etc. areas to consider & challenges to living away from the uk. Good luck Paul & thanks for the content up to date
Drinking beer out of a plastic cup would make me want to leave too 😂.
Beer should really be drunk out of an opaque flask.

We went out to Colombia five years ago, not to run away, but to look after my wife's parents.

I have lived in Spain. Alicante/Murcia, for 35 years. When I go back to the UK, it really saddens me. It has gone downhill. Not only since Brexit, but for many years now, every year it “looks” worse. So many businesses closed down, empty shops, and the quality of those that are left are dire.
Don’t think that Spain are the bees knees… it’s getting worse too, Ok by the time it gets to UK level, we’ll be long gone. You talked about council tax ok. Cheap here.. but your being done somewhere else. Cheaper than the UK? Yes, but average wages are around the 1200€ /month. And I could go on, So it’s not all rosy.
Spain is turning to sh#t.

Really?? You have to prove that? That doesn’t sound right. Come and work. Or if your older but a place.
@@p.llalsing6529 I was thinking along the lines of buying a home in Spain outright, then renting our property out in the uk to generate an income on top of what little pension I can draw early, but it’s nowhere near £28k 😞
Also if u buy a place in Spain, sounds cheap but there is a hefty \govt tax on top which is not recoverable so its not cheap in the end. Rules are getting tighter as well. If you rent you run the risk of having to leave if the owner decides to sell. @@croc8998
Absolutely great chat chap's, I enjoyed every minute of it. And I've come to the same conclusion.
BREXIT was all about the top 1% and profit.
Love these tabletop around a beer chats. Absolutely agree, but where to go? Brits love Espania, but man, it’s a desert. Costa Rica? …. there is no where to run. It’s up to us to stand up against these mostly unelected bureaucrats. It’s time we had the courage to chain the system & break the Establishment.
The choice it’s easier than it looks like…you have to think what will be the hypothetical situation you’ll be in,for example if your plan is to go in a country to work and have a business or a career then you need to choose countries with a strong and stable economy,like Germany to mention one,if indeed you have a small regular income,let’s say you own a house and you get 1500£ per month,then you can choose a country where life cost it’s low where fiscal pressure it’s low and where you can have a normal life with that income already…. Then you have to keep in mind that there’s no wrong choice,everything is up to you and what you are willing to do to achieve your goals,there’s no irreversible choice,you can always go back from where you left… the only advise I can give is to choose a place that you like and where you feel good,all the rest will come easier
I’m sorry but I strongly disagree with the second part of your comment,there’s no way,in this society,with this people,to change things through protest,it will only makes your blood bitter and waste your time…in my opinion is better to find a place that get along better with your lifestyle and live the rest of your days in peace.. I left my country almost 10 years ago and I asked myself many times if it was the right choice or if I should have stayed in my country fighting for what I think is right,then I look around,I look at my fellow Italians and all I can see is people who only think about filling up their own belly,I see people taking advantage on others as easy as take a coffe in the morning,I see a dirigent class who only exploits the country without the minimum regard for people,so I’m sorry but I call myself out,I’ll choose where to go and from who to be fucked at least and live the rest of my days conscious that all I have I choose for myself
@@fabioblando8320Germany is undergoing rapid deindustrialization after being cut off from cheap Russian gas - probably not a good choice right now.
The people are sheep, lining up for their 5th shot. It's hard to accept we are surrounded by thicos..but now you see it with your own eyes..
Good perspective!
Hi Paul, I moved away from London 16 years ago. I spent a year looking for where I thought would be best and decided on North-East Brazil. The weather is great all year around. Property by the beach is affordable and while the cost of living has gone up abit now it is still very affordable. Beer is about one pound twenty and 20 cigarettes is just over a pound. you can eat out here 4 people for twenty five UK pounds. The healthcare here is really good, SUS is better than the NHS and is free and if you want to go private you get 2 visits for 40 pounds. I love it and don't think I'll ever leave. I realised many years ago that with internet access you you can live anywhere nowadays as long as you are able to get a visa, that isn't always easy so I'd advise that everyone checks out they can get a long term visa before they do anything else 🤣 Good luck with your move
My wife is Brazilian from Fortaleza. The beaches are beautiful but the city is dirty and crime is high. South Brazil IMO is much nicer with a chance in season.
@@Frank-qs3pe I moved to a small town just outside Joao Pessoa called Intermares. Very little crime, I been here almost 17 years and had no problems. The weather never get below 24C and the beaches are the best I've seen in Brazil.
@@davidstock642 I absolutely agree with you David, the smaller towns have less to worry about. I will be spending part of my year there as my wife’s parents still live there and are getting older. We’re probably looking in about 4 years to go back and forth from Florida. All the best David🍻
Ok crime in London is getting bad, but Brazil? no way lol The level of danger is totally different.
@@kaiserphoenix01 Have you lived in Brazil? While there is a lot of crime in Brazil it isn't everywhere. When I was researching before I move here I read Joao Pessoa was in the top ten cities for crime in Brazil, but having lived here for years and having gone out in Joao Pessoa hundreds of times well into the night and early hours I haven't seen anything really bad. Most crime in Brazil is gang against gang and happens in the favelas.
I left in 1999. on my trips back, I love seeing my old friends, but man, life is hard there. To understand what the UK has become, just watch the ads on TV: funerals, insurance, gambling, borrowing money, addictive drugs (booze). It's all about desperation. I am not sure people over there realize how perverse these ads are in general. It is so depressing when you think about it. What do they tell us? They say life is so hard so drink yourself to death, or borrow so you can have what those others have, or just prepare to get sick and die, and of course, you can dream about winning money while losing your money to predatory betting outfits.
It doesn't have to be like this. I've lived in many countries, all poorer than the UK in terms of GDP or GDP per capita, and Britain is by far the hardest place to live I've experienced. It's also evident when you go out and risk violence (That's not normal outside the UK) or your house being broken into.
I lived most of my life abroad. I finally managed to convince my wife to move to the UK three years ago, during the Pandemic. I turn 60 next week. My wife is 15 years younger. She likes it here. I have always loved the UK, but I hadn't been back for 25 years and it is simply unrecognizable to me in almost every way.
I lived in Spain before I last lived in the UK, and while it may well suit some, I can't see myself living there long term. I'm constantly torn between staying and leaving. But to where could we move and make a long-term success is the big question. We could move to Australia or New Zealand, but frankly they are headed the same way as the UK. They have also become incredibly expensive places to live. New Zealand weather is also not what it's cracked up to be. And the opportunities are much fewer. The US is a possibility, as my wife could qualify for a work visa or enter the Green Card Lottery. I've worked there in the past but wouldn't get a visa on my own now. It would probably be a relatively easy transition, but I think the US is heading in the same direction as the UK. However, if we stayed clear of the big cities and moved to a red state, we could probably avoid the worst of what's likely to come. My wife is also a German national, so we could move to the EU easily enough. She has also lived in Switzerland, so that's a possibility, too.
If we had more money, we'd probably live here six months and live elsewhere six months. I also worry about my wife after I've passed away. We could move to Eastern Europe, and could probably just afford a property there. But what would we do for money to live on? Neither of us speaks an Eastern European language, and while it's relatively easy to get by if you don't need to work, learning a language to professional proficiency isn't easy. But the biggest problem is living a totally foreign culture. I've lived in non-Anglo countries. It's not like it is when you're on holiday. Some people love it. But it's not for me.
I look around the world and really don't see anywhere where the other side of the street is necessarily greener. And where it may be a little greener, there are either obstacles to moving there, or it likely won't be greener for much longer.
Of course, we're all different. We have different priorities and our circumstances are also different. However, my advice to anyone thinking of moving is not to sell up and move, but to try wherever it is for at least two years. You can rent your home in the UK and use the money to pay the rent wherever you go. If you decide to stay, then you can think about selling up lock, stock, and barrel. But if you decide it's not for you, you can much more easily return. I've seen many people move, who only stay because they can't afford to move back!!! Don't let that happen to you!
Well said, plan well and be prepared.
In my 50s now.
Spent 20 years in London, Essex and the SE.
Enjoyed my time there & did well.
It was a good place.
Sad to hear it’s gone downhill so much.
Left in 2012 to Australia
Glad we made the move.
Family doing well here. 👌
So happy for you hun
Welcome to Aus 🇦🇺. How do you like the heat?
Actually, I feel the cold, but I also feel the heat too! In Engla d we dash indoors out of the cold, and in Australia you are forever looking for the shade and some rain. The grass is always greener on the other side.
wish i'd followed a lot of friends from school who moved to OZ, had no idea at the time that the UK was going to become such a sewer...
@@ASBO_LUTELY Aussie land has become very unaffordable. People are out on the streets because they can’t afford the rent - massive housing crisis, food is very expensive as are the petrol, electricity and everything else for that matter. Don’t be fooled, we have a world wide problem most likely caused on purpose (WEF?). I plan on going back to Europe, living somewhere on the continent.
I hope you can find a better place. I live in California and it sounds like you're discussing many of the same issue we have here. Civilization is almost universally dead world wide.
Yes.
That sounds about right.
Your comment sums up every country unfortunately.
All part of the agenda.
Nothing to do with individual countries politics.
It’s deep state running this pantomime
What a refreshing thing it is to listen to two men expressing all the things I’m thinking.
Great stuff.
I'm 80 years old and I am woried what will happen to my sons when I pass on.
Paul interesting perspective. Your immigration policies were always within your own control to manage but for years Tory and Labour governments scapegoated the EU for everything they didn’t want to take responsibility for, instead of showing some balls.
From outside , that vote seems like the greatest own goal ever scored 😂
From an Irish perspective, all I can say is we are greatly diminished by not having the UK driving the heart of Europe , as you did.
Wish you and your family all the best of luck Paul .
I don’t want England driving the EU. Glad they are gone.
@@a.r.stellmacher8709England couldn't drive the EU any more than Bavaria could. England isn't a nation state, how hard is that to understand? Education standards must be poor in your country if you don't know the difference between England and the UK.
No UK don't have control of borders in the EU. The mass immigration we see is because of majority of Tories MPs and Labour MPs, want mass immigration and didn't want to leave the EU.
Ireland is very much on the same road now. The borders are wide open and the demographic shift will be much faster.
@jamiecook8239 pretty hard to stop immigration when you are ruled by the European Court of human rights which the politicians didn't look into when we left the EU they are two different entities or they chose not to
You very kindly came on our channel when you first started and your audience and reach has exploded. You offer very sound advice and we 'watch' you regularly (get the pun 😉). Your comments about the UK are valid and there does need to be considerable change otherwise the deterioration will continue. Good luck in whatever you decide and potentially covering other areas for your channel could work well and as you say show another side to you.
I am Asian and these guys talk a lot of sense. The enemy are the ruling elite not the people.
Highly taxed in a soon to become 3rd world country politicians should and will pay the ultimate price for their traitorous actions that have put the indigenous people in peril
💯
*_They will never pay the "ultimate price" in my opinion - they are too well protected by wealth and position within UK society, but I hope that you are correct._*
No chance, they leave office a darn sight richer than they went in plus they have greased the palms of all their wealthy mates, these people could not give a dam about the UK, they have properties all over the World, you will not find them living in the shit holes of their making, they are offski soon as they leave office.
I am in my mid 60's and like a lot of similar people of the same age you come ro realise that a lot of respect that people had has all but disappeared from society. The politicians ftom both parties have let us down and they do not represent the values that made them stand out. People are fed up with government institutions apologising for the incompetence of leaders that should not be in the job . Then there is all the stealth taxes we have to pay and it goes on and on. I feel for the young people at least we enjoyed a time when we had more freedom. Unfortunately young people today do not realise the freedom we enjoyed as they have been brainwashed by the media and society as a whole.
The word GREAT in Britain no longer applies unfortunately any more rip off Britain is more commonly used these days which is very sad 😢.
Good luck paul don’t blame you thinking this way and hope your father in law gets the treatment that any British citizen deserves.
Big love to you guys. I feel this pain also, so sad what is happening here. I think this country is finished - or at least well on the way to it. My parents live in Spain and seriously considering it also.
BTW Spain is under a communist govt. They are seriously dangerous.. and are replacing the Spainish people.. Britain is sh.thole but not alone. I'm afraid to say you're so far behind the line here.. The West is being genocided! The only possible hope is Trump!!
came to the UK in 2006... how this great country deteriorated since is unbelievable!
Thanks for the channel Paul. This is exactly the same conversation that most “normal people” are having all the time. This country is sadly finished, as we’ve known it!!
I read on the side of a bus a few years ago that the NHS was going to get GBP 350 million per week after Brexit. Listening to you talk, is it safe to say it didn't happen? How disappointing. And surprising.
Definately didn't happen. We were lied to.
@@PaulThorpeOfficial but in fairness it was never going to happen overnight. The NHS actually gets an exorbitant amount of money but is mismanaged. I trained in the nhs but it took working overseas to make me realise that there are a number of countries who have infinitely better health systems.
The main reason brexit is a horlicks is because David Cameron told the civil service not to bother planning for a leave vote because remain was going to win the day! Then he walked away. It beggars belief that he is back in cabinet.
Brits can't do health tourism in the EU. Their loss innit
You’re right about the intentions of voting for Brexit, Paul. I’m an expat and have been living and working in the Middle East for years now. What amuses/frustrates me about immigration is my wife is Middle Eastern and we are not welcome back as a married couple. We’ll probably end up in Canada eventually. I still pay tax on my UK income, I’m a HM Forces veteran of 24 years, but get treated like shit by UK plc.
Canada is a shithole. Once you look up how much more you're going to pay in taxes you'll forget Canada.
Labour may change the spouse laws for entry
@@CPARyan86 Agreed. A silly 'woke'left wing woke mayor has destroyed Vancouver in the last five years!
Goldman Sachs controlled labour party will seem so much better than Goldman Sachs controlled conservative party. Do you not realise it's a pantomime son.
Oh my, Canada is absolutely a no-go country. You say just slightly make an off-colour comment in Toronto and you'll be thrown in jail without a hearing.
my praise goes to the everyday tax paying brit, many who are willing to stand and fight the bullshit to help save such an amazing and beautiful country
Paul come to the 🇺🇸 we would love you here! I’m from Houston Tx so it’s hot out here but nothing you can’t handle! The states are ready for you mate!
Totally agree with you Paul the UK is going down the tubes
I have emigrated to the UK (London ) from Portugal , been here for 7 years, for better financial opportunities, I love being here and love the country that saw my kids born ( got 2 very young kids) but I’m starting to feel very saddened and frustrated with what I’m seeing right now ( inflated prices, everything taxed to the bone, rent is bonkers and see no fixing unfortunately) don’t get me wrong I do manage to have a decent life but this is not the same country since I came in back in 2017.
I'm in America. I can tell you that NO place is like it was in 2017. Everyone the world over is suffering from skyrocketing house prices, rent, food prices and strained systems. At this point, you just have to put your helmet on and prepare for a crash landing. There is no other way. All governments are in debt at unsustainable levels. So just try to focus on the good in your life and be glad you have a roof over your head. That is what I am doing more and more all the time. If you have a place to live and food to eat, you are better off than many.
I left the UK 35 years ago to live in Perth . Western Australia.
The more l see what has happened to my beloved homeland....the more l thank my lucky stars that l made the best decision of my life.
I think there's going to be lots more Brits coming the way the UK is deteriorating.
Sadly Brexit was always going to be a shambles. Most people don’t understand politics, the Dublin Agreement stopped the boats, because we could send them back. The rest 100% agree, i’d be out the UK tomorrow if i could.
Its time the boats were sent back to France!
Totally agree with you we have a place in Tenerife and we are seriously thinking of selling up and moving out there now this country is a total joke now.
mainland spains better, many islanders get island fever after a while, desperate to get off.
I am 33, couldn’t agree more, the uk is at a point of no return, me and my wife will be hopefully leaving the uk for good in the next few years heading for Romania (my wife is Romanian, I am English).
Been out of the UK for 15 years coming back only for 1 month each year .. love the uk .. love coming bac k to uk but every time i come back the attitude continues to get more pc , woke on one end and low grade on the other .. not too mention the amount of non uk nationals there now .. every time i go down the seafront the amount of non uk languages and voices is truly eye opening .. I can’t be a hypocrite as i live in another country though i work every day earning my living and paying for myself every step of the way while respecting the local cultures .. is clear same can’t be said in uk for a good majority .. everywhere has its plus and minus but uk is broken , never coming back and it is genuinely sad to see
Where did you move to?
So you're the good immigrant because?...? I guess you're white so that's good?
Great to see you with Danny who always talks sense. It might just be that I'm older but no doubt that the UK is not the place it once was, soft on crime, people fearful of walking the streets at night, a woke culture that has gotten totally out of hand and if you speak out you risk getting cancelled. I don't blame anyone who would think about a move but it's never easy leaving behind everything you've ever known but you're spot on about weighing up what's best for your family overall. I wouldn't want to raise kids in the UK anymore 😥😥
That’s what a lot of people think…so the government need citizens so they welcome migrants..
Covid and the ukraine war is costing money…
I’m too ill to leave the uk but if I was younger or even a healthy 66 year old I would leave the uk completely! I grew up in a poor part of the midlands in the 60s but life even then was decent and there was a lot of community and respect..it breaks my heart to see how bad things have become here over the last 20 years.. I feel so sorry for the young people trying to manage their lives these days..it’s heartbreaking
For your own sanity be careful with all the negativity, not criticising you in anyway shape or form
But after working as a carer for years , with elderly, mentally ill, terminally ill, I found it was at times making me feel depressed, although I absolutely loved my job ,
Just mind you don’t loose your personality humour and love for life and your family ❤️
My sons moved to the Isle of Man, beautiful place, lower taxes and not much traffic. Only a hour from Gatwick.
I'm 38, scouse and I live in the south of France. Been here for 15 years. Just go for it. You won't regret it. Hesitation is for wuffters.
Don't go Paul this country needs people like you !!
Great to see you two together! What a laugh we had filming out there Danny with you and your wonderful fam. Loving Paul's idea of Spain too! Big cheer for Digital Watch Vault!!! Best Gabe 👌🙌
The irony is too much to bear, voted Brexit and would again but wants to move to Spain for a better life because the UK has become a clusterfuck 🤦🏻♂️
Dans already in spain
He was saying that Brexit was woefully executed not that the idea of Brexit was poor!
@@matthewcoupeofficialoh yeah and how exactly would it have been executed better in your view?
@@BasilBannayi By actually committing to it, not a one foot in one foot out scenario. How many in government now are Brexiteers, and how many other snouts in the trough from all sides of Parliament wanted it to fail.
Much like an half arsed attempt at marriage, with the attitude of….. “Well if it doesn’t work we’ll just get a divorce”. The EU itself will fail in the long run because of its half arsed attempt at trying to be a one size fits no one approach to sovereignty. If it just kept to its original format eh!
nice they can go ruin another country by voting for the same stupid policies
A great summary of where the UK is. respect to you for opening up lie this. I hope there are people out there that get this to the Local Authority and eventually gets to TV channels like GBNews. Maybe even to the Government ? I always live in hope . Well said guys.
Getting a Spanish Visa now to emigrate there from the UK is a complete nightmare. Need plenty of income as a retiree too!
Go for it Paul! . I left Ireland more than 20 years ago and going on the state of things there I'm glad I did. Now living in Turkey, spending the winter down south where it's a nice average 25c and back in Istanbul in the summer when it gets too hot in Antalya.
Have you got any advice/top tips for someone considering buying a home in Turkey? Where abouts would you say is a good area to start looking for a safe and nice area that's not blisteringly hot in the summer.
@@grantmail4112 That's a difficult one to answer. Most expats buy in areas like Kuşadası, Didim, Antalya, Bodrum and Datça, the latter two being more expensive, they tend to be winter holiday areas, but lots of people love the heat. Everywhere inside is air conditioned anyway so at least you can get out of it. All are beautiful places but very hot in the summer. Istanbul is only relatively cooler in the summer, 33°c in comparison to 38°c- 45°c in the south. We even have air conditioners in our Istanbul home. Turkey is a country of extremes, but living along the Black Sea coast, Giresun, Trabzon, etc is cooler and wetter, bit like Ireland and the UK but warmer in summer and colder in winter. Istanbul is also cold in winter time, even snow occasionally. Datça, the place I mentioned before, though hot, isn't humid so easier to handle if humidity is difficult to handle. Problem with the Black Sea area, there are no exp pats really living there and it's more traditional agriculture area, it's where all the hazelnuts and tea is grown. Beautiful place but not really for us yabancılar (foreigners). You won't escape the heat anywhere in Turkey unfortunately. However if you want cold, the central Anatolian region can get as low as -25c in winter!
@brianmsahin Lots of info... thanks very much... as I'm not tied down to one place I will weigh up my options and not rush in. The concern I wasn't expecting lately is some of the areas I was considering in Portugal and elsewhere have these wild fires that are wiping them out.. that must be devastating. It's something I like the most about the UK, unlike most people that complain it's not hot enough here. Cheers for all the info... I will check it out.. 👍
@@grantmail4112 Very welcome my friend. Wildfires are happening a lot and it's because of bad forest management. They don't let natural small scale burns happen any more and as a result growth is unnaturally dense and it causes these fires. Even the native people of many countries do some controlled burning to ensure that there's no disaster. Australia in particular has extremely bad forest management ideas. But, the best bet, look for something near a beach with no extensive forest around. Then, you'll only have to worry about tsunamis 😂😂. Good luck in your search. Be careful of the ownership of the property if you do buy, don't rely on the sellers lawyer, get your own and get references first. My wife is a very experienced lawyer here and though she isn't in the property business, if you ever decide to look here, she can point you to some reputable people.
@brianmsahin Cheers Brian! It's funny how you can escape one problem and something else turns up... but with careful planning, we can keep these risks as low as poss.... good advice about making sure the papers are checked. I was looking into buying some land in the UK and the same thing applied there as well.. Honestly, my trust in anyone is at an all time low.. I have been ripped off too many times before.. lol Thanks again mate! 👍👍
Philippines Paul ..
You will love it ..❤
So many advantages living there !
Couldn't agree more with you guys... I was homeless in Brighton and there's no help for any single men aged 25-49. I was shipped to Birmingham to be out of sight and mind. Brighton has gone downhill drastically since I left. I went back last December and there's still homeless on the streets, it just looked so run down and I just felt that the heart of the city has been ripped out.
Glad I watched you two, it's like being in a pub with a couple of mates and putting the world to rights. I agree with all you talked about and one of my pet hates those damn pot holes. Wish I could move away to Spain our once great country is no more.
Talking about potholes! I live in the Hampshire, Surrey commuter belt (fleet/Basingstoke) I’ve had about 6 tires in the last 2 years from potholes. Had to have wheels repaired, reconditioned. And I’m still paying over the odds on council tax and road tax despite the fact our local police station has shut down!
Tyres. Not tires.
We are not American
I don't understand the logic behind voting for Brexit and seeking help from the EU.
Brevity is a good thing. You don't ever want to be apart of a group who like a bunch of senseless migrants are needed and wanted.
Seeking help from the EU? That’s not what is happening.
@@truxton1000Because Paul voted for brexit which has damaged the UK and made this country poorer and a worst place to live in. Now he seeks to leave to a EU country after voting to damage his own country.
Unfortunately not all of us are retired well off boomers. Some of us actually have to live with the consequences of this.
The problem isn't Brexit, it's the sheer volume of deadbeat migrants.
@@Cyime No EU country is any better than UK as immigration problems are huge in more or less all western countries, EU or not does not seem to matter, although Switzerland and maybe Norway is slightly better. And they are also not members of EU.
Hello Paul. I just subscribed. I left the UK in 1998 and would never go back. Got a lovely wife, two boys in private school, a successful business and 3 properties. I would never have been able to do all that in the UK. Best off out of it mate. Good luck to ya. From a fellow southerner.
I am relocating to Thailand next year at the present I spend the winter in Thailand and the summer in the UK. Next year I will make the move permanent
