Where can i go to get out of the UK

[tazdevil]

I've lived in the UK my entire life and for the most part have been proud of the UK as a country.

However the last few years I've grown tired of the Tory party and the inward backward facing nature. It feels mired in red tape, tedious backward thinking policies and constant lies by a party that could care less about the middle and working classes.

With that in mind for the first time in my life I want to get out of the UK and use my skills and experience in a country more progressive.

Any Ideas, has anyone contracted abroad. I work with a lot of Europeans and love what they bring to the companies I've worked in.

Bye

I'd hop to it if I were you...

UK passport drops to sixth in global power index

And yet the UK has more than some (but not all) other European countries. So we're not doomed yet.


EDIT: added "some (but not all)" for clarity, even though that should have been clear, but apparently not ffs

More what? More power, if so then you're wrong according to the survey:

Japan 1 Singapore 2
South Korea 3
Germany 3
Italy 4
Finland 4
Spain 5
Luxembourg 5
Denmark 5
Sweden 6
France 6
Switzerland 7
Portugal 7
Netherlands 7
Ireland 7
Austria 7
United States 8
United Kingdom 8
Norway 8
Greece 8
Belgium 8

However once the new blue UK passports printed by a French company in Poland get through the trade barriers that might be in place, then it is sure to be no. 1 again.

No, we're not doomed yet... £250k gets you a holiday home in Portugal and an EU passport.

Just sayin' like...

And yet, if being in the EU equates to "power" then these are rated below the UK in that list

Czech Republic 9
Slovakia 10
Hungary 10
Slovenia 11
Latvia 11
Estonia 12
Poland 14

So the UK does have more "power" than [some] other European countries.

I was thinking about visa free travel, although the media likes to equate that number with "power".

It will be interesting to see how many countries the UK loses (in terms of visa-free travel) after the transition.

Possibly, at least 27 European ones...

You're not the first that I've heard looking for the exit.

The leavers pretend the country is united post election. Truth is it remains sorely divided, with years of recovery ahead before any possibility of economic prosperity.

Life is short, why be part of the Whateverspoons homemade depression?

[shaunbhoy]

A recent poll(the GE) indicated that we, as a nation, are still heavily in favour of leaving the EU

It's a complete travesty of course as within the innumerable collection of pompous London-centric self-righteous social media bubbles, the urge to Remain continues to grumble along at fever pitch. Aided and abetted by umpteen gurning expats that nobody cares much about.

And someone really ought to remind all of these raft-clinging immigrants that by continuing to blow their life savings striving to get to Blighty, they are in fact unwittingly bypassing all of these supposed Nirvanas stretched across most of western europe, all of which can be reached for far less financial outlay.
They clearly haven't researched matters properly.

95% of them have. Only 5% have come to the UK since 2008. I hope that puts your mind at rest.
