    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      Thank you for contributing to the success of the British economy, but I think you are going at the wrong moment. Post Brexit things will get even better here

        My personal values align with the values of this country (or what I learnt of them as I did pass the citizenship test).

        The idea of the EU single market had appealed to me, so had voted remain.

        But now that it seems to be heading for some turbulent times, I feel a duty to stand by this country.
        Its just that the IT career has caused a lot of burnout. I wish I could afford to buy a small fully self-sustained farm with a hut somewhere away from cities.
        And I don't know what I should go 'back' to either. As such, I am sure Britain will emerge stronger and better, but, next few years are likely to be uncertain.

        (By safe, I do not mean I was an asylum seeker despite coming from a millitarised conflict area - I came here on a highly skilled visa and later naturalised. It has been a long journey)
        Well done mate and welcome to the UK.

        We'll have a tough few years ahead of us but it'll be worth it in the long run!

          Hang tight. Once the EU subsidies stop farms will be cheap.

            They should invest in sanitation and water treatment plants rather than high caste IT startups. Last year I was in Kolkata and did a trip up the Brahmaputra and although some of the scenery was magnificent the general cleanliness and pollution left much to be desired

              I'd conversations few of my ex-colleagues and 95% of them want to return back to India at some stage.

              Would be handy if a few more had the same idea to make room for us Brits that may have to return around the time you plan to leave.

                Somebody advised me do six months contract in UK/EU in Summer timer and enjoy with family in India in Winter and go for vacations in school holidays across India and South East Asia/OZ/Kiwi etc. I know atleast two guys who are living this lifestyle.

                Any comments?
