    Edinburgh?

    I thought the weather was pretty good this year until the last 2-3 weeks?
    I was a student in Newcastle. My memories are of it being very bleak windy. I'm guessing Edinburgh isn't much different.

    Realistically it would be Spain for me as it's the place with the most agreeable climate where there's also some chance of earning a living. Australia doesn't appeal - not that I've ever been there.

    The current planned attack on my business by the Tory's is tempting me to relocate!

    I've got a list if it helps.

    1. Overcrowding. 10m more immigrants are due to arrive in the next few years, adding to infrastructure woes.
    2. LibLabCon and their identikit policies
    3. Climate. Andalucia is the nearest place with type of climate I require.

    Live in London? That really isn't the UK. From my balcony my rifle can't hit my neighbour.

    I'd have had to lost all my friends and family.

    Don't care where I am as long as I can go down the pub with my mates once in a while.

    As well as the scum it causes to grow on the walls, who then do PPE courses and become career politicians.
