...planning on leaving the UK for good due to Brexit, the wicked Tories, the imminent communist government etc?
If so where are you planning on going and why did you choose that place? |  |

This should be good. I predict a lot of 'we're going to wait and see' responses before Brexit, if it happens at all, being massively watered down saving them the embarrassment of having to admit it was all talk. |  |

I know quite a lot of people who are applying for dual nationality and a a few who will move, probably to southern Europe.
What the result of the UK voting to abandon the EU Charter on Human rights will do to people going is not going to be clear until the remifications of that are revealed but, with Hammond conceding the UK economy isn't in a good place, any young person woul be daft not to get out while they can. |  | | |

Why would anyone leave this Phoenix that is about to rise, for a sinking ship? |  |

Having traveled fairly extensively (although not as much as some, I have no doubt).
There really isn't another country I'd rather reside in. I appreciate and understand how lucky I am to be born and bred in the UK - a fact many seem to either forget or conveniently ignore.
Don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful countries with wonderful people but in terms of residing and bringing up a family etc etc etc - the UK is it for me.
I love living here. I love travelling and visiting other places though.
Besides, where else can you get wonderfully grey weather.... [Post edited 24 Nov 2017 11:28]

Having lived in one foreign country for 2 years and travelled extensively both vacation and work I can echo sentiment on how lucky we are to be British.
HOWEVER
I would imagine I'd feel the same if brought up in Germany, Holland or Belgium to name but three. |  |

I'm applying for an Irish passport in case I decide to, but I've quite fancied working in Germany for a while (no because of Brexit). |  | | |

Good luck to you. I would encourage anyone to live abroad for a bit, regardless of brexit. Personally I don’t see any tangible reason for it being any more or less compelling than it would have been 5 years ago. It’s a personal choice of course, but having lived abroad and been fortunate enough to travel a lot I would never move away indefinitely. Laregley due to family and friends as much as anything else. |  |

With very few exceptions... most places in the world are ok to live as long as you have access to money, be it Southern, Northern or Eastern Europe [and beyond].
If, however, one does not have a job... | |

This all day long.
No matter what side of the fence you're on re: Brexit, evil communists, etc, being continually disappointed is a facet of British life close to my heart. I love the self-deprecating humour, orderly queues and spending all day in a proper pub. Nowhere else really comes close.
Plus, no extremes of weather or dangerous animals to watch out for. Adders aside, of course. |  |

Living in a foreign country is very subjective (as is living in the UK) it depends where. As you say there are some lovely countries just as there are some plovely parts of the UK , Suffolk being one such.
Being a part of the EU meant that if an opportunity arose to exploit the opportuities that presented themselves one could, without the difficulties of work permeits etc. And you could easily rent or even buy a property if you decided to make your excursion longer term.
These opportunities will disappear.
East Anglia is nice, with clean air etc. but getting anywhere isn't easy and opportunities for the young ar diminishing.
I too have travelled a lot & have lived in a number of countries, some places I was never sad to leave (the USA being one) some places I didn't want to leave (Italy being one).
Going on holiday somehwere is different from living somewhere . | | | |

You make it sound like something you are maybe considering rather than actually doing. what do you think it would take for you to do it? I am not being snarky, I am genuinely intereste din this topic. | |

Not communist I agree, but very socialist.
That's not even the issue though, the problem is that McDonnell cannot be trusted. Maybe if JC had a different person in mind to run the economy it might help.
Look at this:
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/nov/23/john-mcdonnell-labour-extra-bor
He doesn't know how much Labours spending plans will add to the debt or the debt repayments and instead repeatedly claimed that the plans will "pay for itself".
Here is another example from the same interview of a bold statement with nothing at all to back it up except some non-specific statement on more taxes from more workers:
“We are talking about it paying for itself, a one-to-one multiplier. That’s the standard analysis by the OBR and others. When you invest, you grow the economy and as a result of that you cover your costs.”
The best thing JC could do to increase his chances of getting elected would be to get rid of McDonnell.

You're mad if you dont think McDonnell is wildly popular with all the new/reinvigorated Labour supporters out there. Truly worrying times ahead brah, a few more years of incompetent Tories fudging Brexit before the Maximum Leader ushers in Year Zero. | |

No, I'd stay put however bad it got. I like the UK.
If I went to live abroad, it would have to be for positive reasons (i.e. something good over there) rather than negative ones. |  |

That doesn't matter though, they don't have enough support within their current Labour echo-chamber to get elected. They need to persuade people outside that bubble which I think JC might be able to do if he wasn't continuously undermined by McDonnell being totally rubbish and ideologically driven.
