This way people can live everywhere and not depend on the city which is too expensive. America has visionaries like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel advising Trump. My Mum is a immigrant from the EU & has shared all the experiences you have pointed out, which too makes me rethink the perception of the country Ive always lived in.

Thank you for letting us know. In recent years, however, many restaurants focused on British products, and new ways to innovate by using locally sourced, seasonal products. Nothing to do with skin colour or ethnicity (as once was), it's about money and yes, class. This is not the case in the UK. We have less of a poverty divide than such likes as the good old USA, and better transportion than the vast majority of Europe (which I have travelled all over). What you are supporting is an idea that the UK needs to stand alone economically, which is a cute idea yet impossible (because not even you support yourself and need help earning money) -- and you also support vile, and viscous ideas of THE OTHER, of xenophobia, and of racism, and hatred, and UKIP, all of which started talks of Brexit. In a few years, it will probably be legal to self-identify as as a cat or dog. History is clear on how this works. Margaret Thatcher's legacy lives on. To think that we have regressed so much as a society is an eternal sadness. We're in North Yorkshire and we absolutely love it here.

But I guess you took the right decision :/, Hi Cristina, it is very hard to leave the known and take a leap of faith into the unknown. The difference in skin color, the way of dressing or religion is something that attract a lot of atenttion, there are very very different people living in the same country. We contribute more to the country than many others. Your comment deserved a huge round of applause. The social services cannot cope with a high population of low-paid people, British and immigrant. Overcrowded and filling rapidly with alien cultures hostile to their host. This country in terms of its media and even statesman speed by the government have made it very hostile place towards people like myself. The 52% of those who voted to leave the EU, did so as the EU is a dictatorship that hates free enterprise and anyone who wants to individually succeed - the EU wants total control of everyone inculding those who run small to medium sized businesses. As a small island, the UK has and will always be expensive, but this is the same as all other developed small islands, Iceland, Bahamas, Singapore, New Zealand etc. Once I would have thought you were exaggerating. We're spending 2017 living out of bags - currently in Portugal, soon heading to Morocco and Albania, the maybe Italy before SE Asia. There was a time when we loved the UK, were pleased by the level of comfort this country offered. The only thing stopping me getting a one way ticket to literally anywhere is that I cant afford it. I hope you have a wonderful life in your new home! But somehow people consider Switzerland as a safe and decent country. We had been coming to England very regularly since 2011 (my Mom lives here, too) and it has changed so much! We just made positive gains as a society in how we viewed foreigners role within our society and gradually people became less extreme. I am glad you did what is best for you. As a former UK resident, I understand your position. Any suggestions, we love the beach/city life but don't want to be too remote, so I think somewhere like Australia would be out as its hours of driving to get to another town or hours on a plane to get to another country. For me, moving to the UK where I've traveled a few times a year for over 20 years for work and fun - is about spending time with friends and loved ones there and the opportunity to travel Europe much easier. I know exactly how you feel. I planned to stay and study there with my family for six months before moving somewhere more sunny and exotic, (precisely for that injection of British 'culture' and 'opportunity' ), but was worried about the current Brexit climate. France thought about it. I miss who I was when I was abroad. But this is something new. The word chav is a relatively new one in British English, used to describe a supposed social group defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "a young person of a type characterised by brash and loutish behaviour and the wearing of designer-style clothes usually with connotations of a low social status". [15], In a case where a teenage woman was barred from her own home under the terms of an anti-social behaviour order in 2005, some British national newspapers branded her "the real-life Vicky Pollard" with the Daily Star running headlines reading, "Good riddance to chav scum: real life Vicky Pollard evicted",[16] both referring to a BBC comedy character (see In the media below). Very nice post! Imported American culture. I am seriously looking to emigrate, do a tour of Scotland first and then see what the rest of the world has to offer. I know some will agree, whilst others won't. The UK has more international communities than any other country in the world. I think I have officially reached the point of depression due to the rain and I am absolutely desperate to leave. I'm from England but I moved to Iceland a year ago. You chose to live in the North, where it is colder and wetter. We've just moved to the UK and we're loving it so far, though we are probably still doe-eyed and innocent about it all. The blogger writes the country is nation of racists.then goes country hopping in Europe.only to return. Of course it's not right to blame violent, chavs in Birmingham who are 13 and 14 but bully their whole cities, and people who're ready to live off dole, or Saudi's (who, in fact, funded the SHARD in London) or Russian mobsters who get in the UK because of weapons trade and have a lot of money which the UK needs. Foreigners cant even buy a house in New Zealand anymore. I think the major reason I want to leave (and I think my husband is feeling it, too)) is the amount of work you have to do to earn a normal living, even with professional skills, and the animosity that is spreading throughout the country. So I feel fair to comment on this. If I would move, it would be to Barcelona. Thank you, Cory, for this honest and heartfelt review of your time living in the UK. You see, books and stories can have a wonderful influence on us all. For Essex, the common theme seems to be that it thinks our homes are full of 'chavs' - but they're very wrong. All the nurse and doctors to be imported. Its not what I remember as a child. I could see where things were headed and at the time I was a social worker. Throughout my university years, I inevitably made friends with a lot of politics students. I'm also a British citizen but I was born there and left around the same time that you came. I am half Spanish but raised and born in the uk. I can bet on that! That's not scenically possible. But personally I just don't think I really want to stay long term in a country without a summer lol also the drinking culture is so unhealthy. I will certainly find it challenging, especially because I voted stay. On describing those who use the word, the society stated that "we all know their old serviette/napkin, lounge/living room, settee/sofa tricks. If you still believe this is not possible, take me and my husband as examples. I say we keep the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and reintroduce forests and wild animals. Perhaps you can tie a flag to it and wave it around for the amusement of your 'patriotic' peers. You honestly think Scotland is the best thing about the UK? London has less rain per annum than Bucharest, look it up. Do you want to know what the Dutch think about your country? If you are in need of health treatment or ill, forget it. Please do not come back. Hi Miranda, thank you for your comment. They enjoy free movement and actually, the vast majority don't have full-time jobs in the country of residency. Look at the buffoon in power now. I guess it's a "grass is always greener" situation for all of us lately. No country is perfect, but if you consider our history, museums, NHS, free education and world-class universities, the honesty of our police force and courts, business opportunities, freedom of speech, music, religious diversity, food safety (a huge problem in Asia by the way), countryside, regulation, animal rights, gender equality, gay rights, time zone, infrastructure, I still contend the UK is one of the best countries to live in the world. I have a chance to go to NY again, and I'm going to go for it. This is middle class hatred of the white working class, pure and simple. I still love visiting friends and family in London, do some sight seeing but that's it. Anyway I wish you guys all the best for your future wherever it may be. In addition, I think there are other significant and perhaps more substantial factors that are playing into this hostility, namely, the rise of religious fanaticism, fundamentalism and its debate in Britain. Accommodation: yeah, pretty expensive to be fair :). Hi Laura, We would absolutely love to visit St Helena Island one day. Look back in on them selves and see how their views have been twisted and shaped over time. Bigoted and biased review based on the views of an immigrant who has disgracefully described most British people as being racist simply because they do not like the organisation called the EU. I say keep traveling and find places that you can afford to have a decent life and by that I don't mean buying 'stuff' settle for much less but a good lifestyle. My husband and I are also heading to that same direction, I'm keeping everything cross. The quality of food in the store here is really really good and it's also very cheap compared to North Europe. Even if it is just a coincidence, I definitely get you when you say you feel as though you're treated differently. For the uninitiated, 'chav' is a (often derogatory) term for those young people who typically dress in tracksuit. Let me tell you about the art of British food. 2. No government has a magic money tree that can deal with a 'climate emergency' (in a country with very mild weather patterns), literal cradle to grave housing and social care, free healthcare to everyone and anyone who shows up etc, human rights for cats etc Britain's problems are of it's own making. The term is used to describe an anti-social lower-class youth dressed in sportswear. Switzerland recently voted to restrict Islamic mosques. This puts us into conflict with other countries that want to keep us in our place and some people find this a shock to the system compared to their home country. Honestly its all in how you phrase it, lovely. There's only one thing Brits love more than telling people how great their home towns are, and that's complaining about their home towns. We both naturalised to become British citizens. I say we build houses there. A socialist government will. We called it our long honeymoon. I have come to realise that home is where the heart is, and it really does not matter where one lives if they are happy there. Hi Rachel, I hope your move will go well. I got approached by a Greek man who had a PHD and wanted to try and find ways to use it in a commercial context and he wanted to work for us for free to get some experience. Britain is a small island and we value our green space, which has been eroded over the years through over development. But no one wants to live in Scotland! The actual government policy is discriminatory. The problem with Britain is that it bends over backwards too much, and does not do enough - paradoxically, at the same time. Bravo to your writing skills! What I always find hard to believe is how humans fail to learn from previous mistakes. I moved back from the UK to India (which is where I am from) 6 years ago after living there for over 10 years. About 12 years ago when I came to study in Manchester, Britain was a different place. It is an adaptive culture. Why? Travelling doesn't come cheap in the UK. The jet engine you use to travel the world yes, British too.. I guess Einstein was right after all..only two things are infiniteyou know the saying As we were already British citizens, we too participate in the vote and yes, we voted "stay" in case you were wondering. The irony of this situation is that in your misguided attempt to Make England Great Again, you've torpedoed much of the foundation of the UK's current wealth. -Privacy rights- Non existent in reality. Hope you guys are doing great in Portugal. And it's great that we can drive from A to B without being stopped at the borders for passport controls. It wasn't until the last year of University that I landed my first full-time job with Apple. No democratic decision is bad, only a lack of democracy is bad. I tried to live in London, it lasted a few months. We're yet to find ours, and I hope you will find yours, wherever that may be. Here I was living this dream, envied by friends and family yet felt the most unhappy in my life.I was more than happy to give everything up including my great city job when my husband was offered a job oversees close to my home country. Half the British population has been gamed into voting against the interests of the country by an alliance of convenience between ultra-right wing fringe elements and Putin's 'interesting' approach to geopolitics. However, every time I turn on the news it makes me question whether it is the right choice. British people *know* their country is in decline. Your remark about the EU being a dictatorship shows a bizarre disconnect from the ugly reality of the current world. I'm going to start by saying that it wasn't always like this. Don't confuse friendliness with openness. There are pros and cons to this. What has made this country an awful place to live is intolerant arseholes like you who are too uneducated to embrace what different nationalities and viewpoints have to offer. I came to the UK because I wanted to experience life as it is depicted in most cultural products about this island (the cosy cottages, the misty hills and the pub folklore) ; that's how the UK is depicted abroad. The thing is all the time that was just beneath the surface. It took us a long time to really make the move. I saw one the other day, people said, "It's an acronym, 'chav', from 'council house and violent'"well, no, it isn't, that was made up in recent times. The term is used to describe an anti-social lower-class youth dressed in sportswear. She has visited hundreds of destinations and has lived in 7 different countries. Having lived and worked in many places, from the US to India, the liberal (not liberalism that is being forced upon us now) mindset of this land has always accepted that "different" person to practice their life with respect. It's the only country in Europe, except maybe Ireland, which has a great entrepreneurial spirit instead of paper-pushing bureaucrats sucking the lifeblood out of the economy. Or? It's not cool that you can only wear a skirt for 5 days of sunshine throughout the year (we call that the elusive British heatwave). Dear Emma, I am glad you found your way in the world. Who knows. Please don't be afraid of the UK! It's just that we wanted to experience something a little different for a while. This didn't stop me, though, I persevered until I got accepted. Perhaps! You've written an incredible and brilliant post here, Cory! The weather is better but their governments are destroying both. Immigrants are the people who are willing to give up their rights, liberties and cultures, in order to work for the sake of your government, your country, your society and your benefits. I'd really like to visite England again, because i think i lacked many things to know and experience in this place, i like England very much and i hope to be back soon. Cory, just out of interest, have you experienced much racism where you are living now? Answer (1 of 9): Hello Ian Kent and welcome to Quora.

To be honest honest there is no credibility in your post, as all youve done is made a great realised, narrow minded view of a nation of 60 million people!

But the vast majority of people in the UK seem to be relatively well off. They still believe in the purity of Japanese blood and parents discourage mixed marriage. Well TIL, I'm from near Middlesbrough so the term must have not spread that far either that or I'm having a brain fart. Thank you Jordan!
