Britain's Professional Brain Drain - can you really blame us??

Question

I'm training to be a teacher. My partner is a Chef. We both work pretty hard and unless I'm very much mistaken, these are good jobs and they used to be respected.
Once I've qualified, we've decided that we're off - France, Spain .... anywhere but Albion. It isn't because we want to go - we'd love to move down to Cornwall or Dorset instead - except that we'd never be able to afford our own home, we'd be taxed up to our eyeballs for the rest of our lives and then inheritance tax would wallop our kids when we are dead.

By all accounts, we're not the only ones running away from this state of affairs, so my question is - who will be left when all the qualified, hardworking people have gone, and who will pay any tax??

Answer 1

You would be able to afford a home if you were criminals or layabouts. We feel the same and after working hard all our adult lives are thinking about leaving for Canada. Blair's disgusting, hypocritical, government sickens me in the way it panders to anyone other than the decent people who actually pay for it. He's a killer, a hypocrite, who hates this country and only cares for his own ego. He and his entire government sicken me and make me a ashamed to be British.

Answer 2

Immigration is in basic terms a element of 'fractured Britain'. we've the countless ethnic ghettos and the multicultural creed and, of direction, a loss of racial tolerance that hinders integration which leads to decrease threat and fosters the gangs and offender interest. Politicians, lecturers and multiculturalists all fail to comprehend that antipathy to strangers is well-known human behaviour, it extremely is no longer straightforward coded into our DNA to be suspicious and distrustful of strangers. The stranger anybody is, it extremely is, the greater ethnically diverse, the greater advantageous the reaction. i'm no longer saying this is a solid element, nor that it can not be countered. we've in basic terms been faraway from our certainly remoted existences stretching lower back approximately one hundred fifty,000 years interior the final 2,000 and together as we now be conscious of this is an irrational reaction it continues to be there. different than for that element we even have greater advantageous than sufficient of a house grown white, indigenous feral underclass with its very own gang and offender subculture. relax certain that maximum people of the 8 million plus British people of working age that do no longer are the two white and indigenous. It extremely all is going lower back to the post WW2 situation the place we opted, or a minimal of the enterprise opted, to undertake social democracy because of the fact the political customary after the noticeably unfavourable socialist flirtation of the 1945 Labour administration, coupled with a desire to handle and impose order on each element of on an ordinary basis existence additionally time-honored as cradle to the grave welfarism. We then began to lose the classic British appreciate for authority, common mindedness and straightforward play. the Nineteen 1960s and Roy Jenkins observed to the biggest trashing of Victorian values and the enhance of 'rights' and selfishness, besides as actual disposable earning between the working type for the 1st time, and it extremely is been a downward spiral ever on account that. So, who do I blame? The political enterprise of direction.

Answer 3

Sad really that all 6 answers seem to indicate that the general opinion is to leave. To the questioner I would ask. As a trainee teacher is it moral to train here and not put something back? The answer to your ultimate question is there will be lots of us qualified, hardworking, taxpaying people left who actually do care about our families, communities and society and we have a duty to all of them not to leave for what are obviously purely selfish reasons. Again, on a moral level, thank god you never taught my children. As regards Inheritance Tax and your children, if you've trained at the expense of the British taxpayer hopefully you'll have brought them up to succeed independently rather than waiting for a windfall from a dying parent. Just saw your question again and thought to myself, hang on, a trainee teacher and a chef qualify as even part of a brain drain. I don't think so.

Answer 4

So true - I'm training to be a doctor and so much wanted to work where I was brought up and live. I'd never thought I'd see the day that I would ever consider moving abroad - until now. The govt has made living here difficult to enjoy. More importantly, the government no longer values it's own wonderful people.

Answer 5

Who will pay the tax? Well, not us... the people who are left... BB will work out a way to nail them for the money he needs- but they will only have to pay for the services they've used plus the latest foreign military adventure, so it shouldn't be too hard on them.
If they boost immigration- like they should- then they'll have a lot more proles to tax anyway.

And, I don't know about you, but I don't intend on spending my whole life abroad, so they'll get to tax me anyway when I come back... still, who knows, I may not return after all- but I don't expect I'll get out of paying tax over there, so it's nothing to be too jubilant about.

Will every young professional leave though? I would find that hard to believe...

Answer 6

I agree with your opinion.

But, loads of professional are coming into Britain from all over the world at the same time. In fact they do not have the plans to settle here. And they are paying taxes. I am from overseas and a doctor and pay £ 30, 000 tax a year. I am leaving in a few days.

Answer 7

Believe me , you are not the only ones thinking like this . Most people i know have already left and the ones remaining are talking about leaving! Interesting responses to your question, i can only say i agree with you all . Don't know what the hell is going on in this country! Are the politicians in denial about this or do they just not give a **** . Well i suppose most of them have purchased property abroad , so it does not really matter to them anyway!

Answer 8

SO many people I know are leaving these shores for places where they'll be more appreciated, and i totally agree with feudalserfer, what Blair has done to this country, he and his cronies have turned it into the ar*ehole of the Western hemiphere.
Say what you like about William hague, but when he was leader of the tories he predicted that 'In ten years time, anybody British won't recognise this country' and he's right, we used to be a proud nation...what have got to be proud of now, anybody with a modicome of talent is leaving - that includes me - next month - got my green card and i'm off.

Answer 9

Good question.
I'm off too.
Sorry, don't care too much about the folk left behind. Friends and family aside.
Anarchy? Mob rule?

Answer 10

I want to get out of here when I'm done with uni too. This country sucks goats now.
