English people leaving home?
Posted on 11/16/2007 3:58:05 PM PST by DesScorp
The papers today ask why 400,000 left the Uk last year to live and work somewhere else. I would have thought the answer was obvious.
They’ve had enough.
We live in a country where anyone who has gained some qualifications, who tries to pay their own way and to live a decent life feels targetted by this government. We have our identity assaulted, our democratic views ignored, our pockets and purses rifled by the state, our opinions criticised or banned and the public services we do wish to use run incompetently or rationed for us.

Its too late for me, and I’m not leaving outside of a box anyway.
I didn’t read the article but MUSLIMS are scaring native Brits away. I heard this first hand. The UK down plays this and the THREATS there that are ON GOING.
I heard someone from the UK say a lot of the people leaving are immigrants. That was a couple of months ago either somewhere in this forum or in another forum.
Just for the sake of discussion....where would us conservative Americans Move?
I can’t find anyplace thats safe.
Down here in Florida, the ex-Brits you talk to will say “the weather” if you ask them why they left.
Are you kidding? Americans would stay and fight, just like the Americans before them did.
“I heard someone from the UK say a lot of the people leaving are immigrants. That was a couple of months ago either somewhere in this forum or in another forum.”
Some of them are, but the original Telegraph story makes it clear that half of them are white, native Britons.
George Orwell
What?
And just where do you suggest we move?
It can be argued that they are doing as they always have.
They are leaving the home islands for Empire countries. there have always been tons of expats in Africa and India and other colonial countries.
I thought all that stuff was already happening here, except people haven't started fleeing yet.
identity assaulted . . . check.
democratic views ignored . . . check.
pockets and purses rifled by the state . . . check.
opinions criticised or banned . . . check and check (CFR)
public services we do wish to use run incompetently or rationed for us given away to illegal aliens . . . check.
Easy one....(not in any order)
1. Weak government (eg pandering to Muslim radicals)
2. Taxation
3. Socialism
....and the effects thereof.
Where would we go? Costa Rica?
“Are you kidding? Americans would stay and fight, just like the Americans before them did.”
I don’t believe that for a moment. They fled and gave Los Angeles to Mexico.
I’ve been expecting European white flight ever since I began researching Islamofascism and especially after reading Mark Steyn’s America Alone.
Redwood’s list is telling, but I wonder what the Europeans will try to do to the US.
Will they be more American than Americans, much like Mel Gibson and Russell Crowe are when compared to our homegrown Hollyweirdos? Or will they act out and lecture us to live under the failing ideologies they left?
I spend enough time in the UK to be able to say that you are correct.
“And just where do you suggest we move?”
I don’t suggest we go anywhere. I suggest we make sure it never happens here.
Just for the sake of discussion, were I forced (and I mean really forced) to go somewhere else to live, it would almost certainly be Australia.
