is it true that many british people are leaving the uk

@CrazyMusicLover Did he leave a 'butthurt comment', or was he just asking a question?

@helsbels He said he left a comment under a Youtube video. I've seen plenty like that.

@CrazyMusicLover It reads like his comment was 'anti' people leaving, and you seem to be against it too so just thought it was a strange thing to say 🤷‍♀

@helsbels No, I'm not against people leaving. It's a personal choice, so if people treat them like some sort of traitors for deciding to live in another country, I find it as an expression of butthurtness.
But another question is what impact do they have on the country they emigrate to. If people from countries like Portugal and Greece come to UK to get better education and better paid jobs, then where do the people from UK go? If USA, Australia, New Zealand, I guess they play their league, but I watched several videos about UK people moving in to Portugal to basically travel in van around the country while still working remotely for a UK company. That's not the same as coming to these country to actually work their jobs for their salaries and contribute to local communities. If they actually come to bring in something positive and helpful, for example teaching English, then they have my respect but if they just buy off cheap properties and make expensive Airbnbs from them, well, then they can go to hell.

@CrazyMusicLover I don't know why I'm involving myself tbh, just nothing better to do I suppose 😅 Again, not to speak for the OP but I thinkhe is more concerned by the reasons people want to leave, rather than where they might go or the impact they have. I think I broadly agree with you (and him), if you go anywhere it should be to contribute and within rules and expectations that don't have negative impact to the host country.

When that doesn't happen, it's devastatingly disruptive and damaging.

@helsbels Yeah, I'm curious about the reasons too because I know about people who still come to UK for reasons like better pay or more liberal political environment. If the cost of living is a problem then I'm not sure how does it work for people coming in from poorer countries when even locals who might have inherited a family property struggle. That might suggest that foreigners have some benefits that locals don't. Or maybe expats are not planning to stay there, just tolerate living in bad conditions while earning more money and then coming back home where they'll be able to afford more. That's also an option.

@CrazyMusicLover listen, don't try to dictate to me, i'm british and believe in standing by britain if you're british.
