Don't listen to them
It's a good idea
UK still has lot more earnings potential
It's just that freebies UK people were use to , are going away
Biggest mistake
They should have stayed away from Ukraine war and profited instead
It's more than this. Infrastructure is in decline, the political class is rubbish, government is making poor decision after poor decision. We're going to hit a recession hard and soon. The thing is they won't do anything different to get us out of it. They won't break out of the broken models, nothing to encourage commerce, no fresh ideas.
I'll give you a few examples;
- public transport is privately owned, services are regularly cut, it's cheaper to drive than to catch a bus.
- We've had a housing shortage for about 20 years. Social housing stock was sold, never rebuilt, state pays rent to private landlords to house those on welfare.
- Energy - we've done next to nothing on green energy, all green initiatives are like trying to sell electric cars and fining cars for driving through city centres, nothing to do with improving public transport or changing to renewable energy sources. Solar panels are still relatively rare on roofs.
Matlab everything you can think of, the current opposition and govt has the same aligned dead, used, failed ideas about.
You're much better off in the middle east, Germany, USA, New Zealand, Turkey, etc.
