200,000 people left the UK last year, why?

[laralatex]

Apparentely 200,000 people left the UK last year for good. The largest number on record. Anybody know why?

In reality; the high crime rate, moribund ecomonic performance, social meltdown, too crowded and many other related reasons.

But we are not allowed to even mention these facts! If we do we'll be punished, called a fascist and have to wear extra-thick rose tinted spectacles!

Have to agree.

I left the UK for mainland Europe in 1986, and have absolutely no intention of returning (the occasional brief family visit aside).

My mate Tony and his family went to Australia 3 years ago as they were sick of the governement, crime, shit schools, the weather and stupid house prices. Now lives in a gorgeous village in Queensland with excellent hospital, new school, excellent infrastrcuture and not pestered by politically correctness gone mad. Bonzer.

Probably read the rantings of people like warren zevon rip, sam slater, eduardo, steve56, fudgeflaps the brutal truth, et al and thought... (all together now) we've gotta get out of this place, if it's the last thing we ever do!

Probably because instead of moaning about it, they got on with doing something about it. Unlike a lot of people coming on here bleating about how Britain has gone to the dogs etc, 200,000 people just quietly got on with it.

Is this an anti-foreigners rant? If so I trust you realise that the people building the homes will probably be from Poland!! Why? Because unlike most British "workers" they don't stop every five minutes for a cup of tea and a fag, and actually do good work to a higher quality in a fraction of the time... and for less pay!

If you want a skilled workman who will do a good job on time, find a "foreigner", cos the Brits aren't worth a toss!!!

Of the 200,000 who left these shores, how many where people going back home? Or are we to assume all 200,000 were natives of these isles?

[thesaint3333]

Should we not be asking how many came into the UK to replace them?

The sad truth is that the departees are the 'bad loser' Tory voters who, seeing that their party is finished and morally bankrupt, are walking off with their bat and ball ; and have the money to do that which was given to them by Thatcherite tax cuts that nearly bankrupted the country.

The real hardworking people of this great land- the ones whose businesses and bosses went to the wall in the 1980s- couldn't leave; they had no cash to do so!
