Because the quality of life is going down hill. I am British born and breed but if i had the money i would be off too. There are too many youths that have no respect for themselves let alone anyone else. Just look at ASBO's they do nothing to prevent these Hoddies intimidating people. The education system is not about teaching anymore its about surviving every day without being bullied, beaten, the language is foul and most are sexually active by 13. To may dole spongers on there back sides living on our tax money getting there rent and council tax paid and never had a job in there lives. The whole atmosphere in this country is one of gloom. It has nothing to do with immigrants, most only say for 2/4 years earn some money and go home. At least they are working and paying tax's while they are here. There are more immigrants from Poland than anywhere else.Just look at any high street on a Friday and Saturday night, drunk, vomiting, urinating and committing sex act right there in public view. Would this be the kind of environment you would want to raise your child in? No? Me neither. As soon as i can afford it me and my family will be off too.

Because it is going downhill very quickly, the doors were opened to too many people that took advantage of all the benefits on offer to them and now have the cheek to moan about the country and us celebrating Christmas etc.
In a few years there will be no state pension left due to all the hand outs we've given.
People in the UK are at war with themselves never mind other countries - if world war 3 was to occur then we would quickly discover how few people are loyal to the country irrespective of all the things we've given them.
I for one do not plan on staying in the UK long enough to see it totally sink!

If I win the lottery tonight I will move abroad because:
1. The UK climate is rubbish.
2. The cost of living is too high here.
3. The country is too dangerous-too much violent crime.
I will keep a house in Scotland and visit it for a few weeks in the summer though just so I could visit family and so on.

Because it's too damn expensive and the thought of being watched everywhere you go by ubiquitious cameras and sent tickets through the mail and dealing with a sucky underground system that costs a fortune not to mention the terrible weather would drive anyone away.

Well, for one we are getting Taxed to the Hilts.
2, People love to live where its warm
3, there are to many people who are using this country to get something for nothing.
4, there are now to many people who are foreign, and getting free houses, while the rest of us have to battle to get anything. (sorry for being politically incorrect, just that this is what I have been told by friend who now live abroad)
5, The UK is becoming a 'Nanny State' and our freedom is being eroded, that includes the ideas of ID Cards & that there are so many CCTV's about that we get our photo taken up to 3000 time a day.
Is there any other reasons - Yes there are plenty!!!!

Don't believe all the hype.
I read (on BBC website) that loads of people are returning from Spain and the US, back to England because they are getting fed up with life there. Never mind how many people leave, how many people actually stay without ever coming back.

Because we are being overrun with immigrants,taxed to the hilt,the weather is crap,quality of life is poor,and I think people just feel that they don't belong,that this isn't the Britain they want.And then theres all the yobs,with no respect for anybody,(I know not all,but it seems most).

They aren't. It's a figment of your deluded imagination.
Work out how many people YOU KNOW have left recently.
Calculate what percentage that is of everyone you know.
Does that really constitute 'droves'?

If you ask me, the answers are simple.
a) very high cost of living, esp property and rent
b) poor weather
c) conservative and boring.
that why I want to emigrate to Perth, Oz where there are a lot of sunshine.
