I can't really recall you doing so yourself. All you ever do is complain about Britain and the people who live there (which is largely the same thing).
What are the virtues of Britain, DA?
I live in it
Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone
Perhaps you should get people to state their position. I have noticed a general trend where the Remainers - at least on this forum - are ex-pats or not that keen on the UK (as a whole).
I'm keen on the UK. But I fear that a Leave vote will make it easier for the usual suspects to bring in more cheap labour from far away on intra-company transfer visas, thereby undermining the UK contracting market. And with no access to the 'free movement of people' anymore, we can't easily go abroad to contract there. It will drive contracting rates far down.
I'm a perfectly happy expat, but I like Britain. It's a cheap place to live, if you know how to play the system you can get excellent medical care, the locals, by and large, all speak English, there's real investigative journalism, there's not too many foreigners.
I'm just waiting for global warming to make the climate better - then I'll move back. Hopefully by then, Britain will have a decent economy by virtue of still be part of the EU.

You mean a decent economy like Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France?
