I know of many Indian investors who are returning to India. Especially businessmen and investors. The government there is so stiff and cold to investments that there is no hope of investing or economic growth.
Buddy, I give my opinion. British Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs and also the few Buddhists must unite together. Britain has an enemy, you can see it in Birmingham, East London. It's slowly taking over and dominating British culture. It's is inborn violent and radical. The recent liberal government of Starmer is aligned with it. London Mayor Sadiq Khan is an adherent of it. Half a million of them come by boats every year. Britain needs a true, iron fisted leader like Enoch Powell. Apparently I think Nigel Farage is there. Maybe I am right or wrong. Save Britain! Today Jews, Hindus are facing hate crimes and attacks from the community I am referring to. Now I ain't racist. I am telling the reality. It's our in the news about such incidents.
Even though you were smart and preempted all accusations of being a Chinese propaganda agent, I still think you are a Lord Haw-haw in the making. There have been a lot of people like you in recent years, Western bloggers who spout crap about Western countries and use identical completely dystopian talking points, but who never dare to say a single negative word about the system in the countries they live in, China and Russia. Take a walk on the streets and ask some critical questions about why China is killing democracy in Hong Kong, why they are exterminating the indigenous peoples in occupied Tibet and Sinkiang, why China does not recognize international law but steals the coastal areas of the Philippines and other neighboring countries, why China lacks freedom of speech, democracy and more. This way you can prove that you have your critical sense intact and are not just a paid Chinese agent with a mission to spew negativity about the West. As it is now well documented that Russian and Chinese intelligence services pay thousands of Western influencers millions in salaries to do.
Shalom Fred, I am from Tel Aviv. I give you my view on Britain. British Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs and also the few Buddhists must unite together. Britain has an enemy, you can see it in Birmingham, East London. It's slowly taking over and dominating British culture. It's is inborn violent and radical. The recent liberal government of Starmer is aligned with it. London Mayor Sadiq Khan is an adherent of it. Half a million of them come by boats every year.

I really enjoyed your video, and honestly, I think we’ve got a lot in common with our backgrounds. Let me get straight to the point- I left the UK 20 years ago because, even back then, I could see the decline setting in. After graduating, it was obvious. I mean, even in 2002, just trying to get a decent train service in the British capital felt like a nightmare. Don’t even get me started about GPs, dentists, and the rest of the nonsense. Since then, I’ve built an amazing life overseas. I’ve created online businesses, and to top it off, I met my wife in Asia. These days, I don’t even bother talking about my life with people back in the UK because, frankly, so many of them are miserable, judgmental, and obsessed with questioning why I “betrayed” them by moving to the other side of the world. What really hits me is the sheer misery so many people in the UK carry around. And let’s not forget the tall poppy syndrome-anyone who tries to rise above or better themselves gets slammed right back down. That’s why, for me, the UK isn’t even “home” anymore. Leaving it behind was the best decision I ever made. Life is so much better when you move away from all that negativity and embrace cultures and societies that are just more positive and forward-thinking.
Brit here living in Shanghai, been here for 11 years now. Co-founded a company here 8 years ago which is still going fine. I'm debt free with plenty of cash in the bank. Like you I am also very thankful to China for giving me opportunities that wouldn't have been possible had I stayed in the UK.
My wife and I are in our early 70's and are currently in the process of selling up in the UK. We are retiring to Malaysia which is the country my wife originated from. I have applied for a spouse visa. We would have retired there earlier but I waited until our two grandsons both reached their late teens. Now they are old enough they can take flights themselves and visit us. Over the years I have seen the economic and social decline of the UK and it saddens and angers me. I have told my grandsons to do what it takes to gain the skills necessary to enable them to live anywhere in the world. I seriously fear for their future if they have to stay here in the UK.
This is the 2nd video of yours i have seen. You point out the decline in the UK fantastically. My mum had a stay in the hospital after falling in a pot hole crossing the street. If my mum was old that really could have been the end of her.
Love this video! I’m from Cardiff but been in Melbourne for almost 6 years now. It’s obviously not cheap like Thailand etc but my wage here as a nurse is easily double, my general quality of life is so much better. I spend Saturdays paddle boarding with my dog ☀️ I went back to UK for 12 days recently, I can never move home!
We live here in the UK and every single word you said in this video is true. I honestly think the UK we once knew & loved died a long time ago, we just haven't realised it until now.
We have an ambitionless society in the UK. Whilst you can live a relatively safe and comfortable life here, if you truly want to excel and live an amazing life, you need to leave and go elsewhere. Glad to see you got out and are enjoying life now!
Great video by the way. The UK treated you terribly, so I fully understand your dislike of the UK. I am double your age.....so all my university fees were covered and I never left Uni with any debts. For that I'm grateful to the UK. Back then there were more job opportunities so I was never out of work. Today London has fallen, and it saddens me to see the state of the UK, I often describe it to others as a "sh*t hole". It is exactly as you described, although I have to say I've never experienced any food shortages! (Your mentioning of there being no eggs sounded a bit over dramatic!😂). I am pleased I don't live in the UK full time. I share my time between the UK, China and Spain. It's ideal to enjoy the best that each has to offer. No one place is perfect, in my experience. Appreciating the good things you have, wherever you are, helps towards contentment.😎
I feel the same. I think once you’ve spent a reasonable amount of time outside of the UK it becomes pretty obvious. My wife and I are planning to move to Vietnam in Feb 26
You forgot to mention how dangerous it is to have your phone in your hand in London’s street, not just wearing expensive watches or jewelleries. You’re absolutely right in everything you said. Once I’ve been to Dubai, there were cleaners wiping down and cleaning toilets after each use, they won’t let you go in before they clean it! When we were back to London, it felt like 3rd world! Where all the taxes we pay go?
You are absolutely right. The UK is lost. They prioritize everyone but their own citizens and the place is now a dump. You are so lucky to get out when you did. Most of the people I know are on anti-depresent medication or other drugs. Good luck! I envy your life. I wish I did what you did years ago..
The UK is becoming an authentic mess, it is everything so ridiculously unaffordable, unless you're on a top 1% salary you're gonna have a hard time in this country.
After studying Chinese (assume Mandarin) to interpreter level, how much of an advantage was that to obtaining fluency in Japanese? Brits have never appreciated the difficulty of interpretation, which is why most can't differentiate between translation and interpreting. Some 30 years ago, simultaneous interpreters (Japanese-English) working at an international conference in teams of three, twenty minutes on, 40 minutes off, would earn some 500 pounds for a week.

Hello sir. I am a Hindu from Bangladesh. I along with my best friend who is a Christian want to immigrate to China or any southeast Asian countries except Malaysia and Indonesia. Please advise you which country has the easiest visa rules. We are qualified with degrees on mechanical engineering. But the main reason is the situation in our country. Our country is now an absolute hell for Hindus, Christians, Buddhists. If you see the news you will know the reason. Our houses, temples, churches are being burnt. We are being persecuted,assaulted and the police, millitary is supporting the persecution and instead arresting us. The new government is hard core Islamic and has announced routine persecution of minorities. 😰😥 I had thought of India but since many Hindu Bangladeshis have already mass immigrated to India it's difficult to get a visa for there. Is it easy to get visa for China or any southeast Asian countries now ( except Malaysia, Indonesia) ? Please tell me. It's an earnest request. We want to save ourselves and our families.
China does not allow foreigners to immigrate into the country unless you have family ties or have a PhD from top universities. Your best bet is to meet or date a Hindu in Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia. Thailand or Vietnam prefers to date within their circles as well unless you meet a lady of Indian descent. Good luck and all the best to you.
Same experiences as you. Graduated in 2007 with a history degree from a Russell group university, right into the heart of the finance crash. No jobs and was unemployed for a year and half. I even failed to get a job in a gift shop at an English heritage property with a history degree. I retrained as an accountant ( self taught the exams) and run my own small local firm. UK does not care about it's own citizens and will just take the best of foreign countries. My advice to young people is to get out the country, no future here.
We NEED to leave... Any suggestions really welcome .... We survive on UK pension !! Can't afford to move to many places .. Such as Spain ext.... Ashamedly, we are both rubbish at languages... All help very welcomed ...
The UK is absolutely dire, there's practically zero law and order, we have a comedy central public transport system, a health care system that isn't fit for purpose, business closures, mass lay offs right across the Country, boarded up empty shops, buildings left to go to rack and ruin, an education system that inflicts disgusting agenda's onto the kids, protests galore, many rainbow flags, crime is through the roof along with continuation of illegal freeloaders that are arriving by the droves. Let's also not forget how expensive it is to live in the UK. I could go on and on.
Absolutely appalling. The worst “premium” airline I’ve flown. Had terrible experiences with rude, matronly cabin crew. The planes are dirty and the service is unprofessional.
Is that a sign of courage and patriotism? If you are an immigrant or English you should fight and make your country great. Fight against the belief which is destroying Britain.
While I understand this guy has come a humble background and seems like a cool dude, but from what I saw in Asia, the reason why living in Asia, is such good value for money for Western people is that they get paid a lot more money (a European salary) then local people. Where as for example when a Filipino or an Indonesian emigrate to a wealthy Asian place such as Hong Kong or Singapore, I am not so sure they would describe Asia as good value for money, as they get paid really low wages!
Hi Fred I am from Tel Aviv I'm concerned about the impact of illegal immigration from Middle East on British culture and society. It's clear that the current situation is putting a strain on communities across the UK especially English white Christians, British Jews, British Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Asian immigrants. They are law abiding, hardworking, pay taxes. British Jews, hindus assimilate extremely well and are some of the best contributors. In cities like Birmingham and East London, we're seeing the effects of unchecked immigration. They resemble Baghdad or Karachi. It's not just a matter of numbers; it's about the values and beliefs that are being brought into our country. I'm worried that the recent liberal government and some of our leaders, like London Mayor Sadiq Khan who himself is an adherent of the faith I am talking about, are not taking this issue seriously enough. It's time for us to have an honest conversation about the impact of illegal immigration on your society. We need to find a way to address this issue that is fair, humane, and respects the rule of law. You owe it to yourselves, your children, and your communities to get this right. Uncontrolled immigration from Middle East will nosedive your economy and crush the health infrastructure, peace, education system of your country. I can imagine the pain of Iranian non muslims who hoped to get a better life in Britain away from the regime and facing the same Islamist issue in Britain which they escaped from. Moreover not to mention the recent hate crimes on Jews, Hindus in Britain from the Islamists. Such a shame! God bless the United Kingdom. God bless Israel. 🇮🇱🇬🇧
It's a Neo Nazi myth. What I care is for Judeo Christian values. And the truly peaceful, hardworking Asian and Hindu immigrants who today see themselves in an Islamic Caliphate of Britain.
@MrCarhoo Yes I have. What I care for is Judeo Christian values of Britain it's Christians, Jews. And the truly peaceful, hardworking Asian immigrants who today see themselves in an Islamic Caliphate of Britain.
I was born in China and immigrated to UK in 2017, got my UK citizenship of UK in 2023 whilst I gave up my Chinese nationality. As you said the rising cost of living in the recent years and the economic downturn are causing lots of issues alongside with the immigration. I respect all the people who do what they say, but not so much on those Chinese who blame all western and promote their propaganda of Chinese Communist Party but living in the west.
Hello from India. I am a Parsee Zoroastrian. One of our community members who founded and owned the Tata Conglomerate recently closed one of its steel plant ( Tata Steel) in United Kingdom due to the government's policies resulting in unemployment of many British men near Port Talbot. I know of many Indian investors who are returning to India. Especially businessmen and investors. The government there is so stiff and cold to investments that there is no hope of investing or economic growth. Mass immigration from Middle East will further make Britain's economy nosedive. I was planning to go to China for a trip. But I am having problems in getting a visa. Can you please advise me? Also can you please kindly visit the northwestern Himalayas of India ( Kashmir , Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh) Northeast and South India? They are beautiful and nothing like Delhi, Varanasi which paints a very negative stereotype. Where are you now? Britain is today still there because of the Jewish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian immigrants along with white people who pay taxes and are hardworking, law abiding. Greetings and stay safe. There is still time British people can save their country from Islamisation.
Parsees are Persian I guess. You guys escaped Iran during Muhammads conquest to India to save your culture, religion. Respect to you guys. Persia was a great nation and ancient civilization. Persian Jews are a wonderful community which is a bridge between our cultures. King Darius liberated Jews from Assyrians allowing them to resettle in Jerusalem and the reconstruction of the Holy Temple. The connection between Persia and Israel goes deep back to 2400 years. Free Persia from Islamic Regime! Crown Prince Pahalavi is a wonderful person. He can make Persia a great ally of Israel as it has been earlier.
Mr. Fred I will be extremely grateful if you can kindly reply to my question and also why was my comment ignored. Let me assure I am not a troll nor what I am saying is absolutely false. I am disappointed to see that you are putting countries like Phillipines, Indonesia and ignoring my country. India ranks higher than Phillipines in the global quality of life index. Sir, with due kindness please don't judge India entirely based on your experience in Delhi. India is extremely diverse and has a lot of beautiful places. If you visit the country and explore in detail you will realise it's amazing diversity. A lot of people stereotype India just by the image of Delhi or Varanasi. That's extremely gross. We have Northeast India which is completely as beautiful as Tibet and Southeast Asia. India has Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh which are complete paradise in Himalayas. There is Southern India with its beautiful tropical backwaters of Kerala, Nilgiri mountains, rainforests. The country boasts one of the best wildlife sanctuaries, biodiversity national parks. I accept India has a lot of challenges but that doesn't make the entire country gross. There are places which are extremely well standard and thriving economically especially South India. I earnestly request you to please visit India and see the places I mentioned above by yourself. I guarantee you sir, Northeast India will make you feel in East/ Southeast Asia. You will be shocked to see how clean and beautiful Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh are with a Romanian vibe. I also bet that if you go to any private hospital in India especially in South India, you will find a lot of patients from Southeast Asia, Gulf countries. A lot of Southeast Asians, Gulf Arabs go to India for medical treatment in its private hospitals which is extremely affordable and very high quality. In government healthcare facilities only the AIIMS ( all India institute of medical sciences) provide quality medical treatment and has its branches in all major cities of India the main one being in New Delhi. There are many foreign western expats who reside in India especially Americans and are satisfied. India is extremely affordable and with a high budget one can live an extremely wealthy life. The rural India especially in Himalayas are amazing and have many elderly British who have bought holiday cottages in Darjeeling, Shimla. So I once more earnestly request please visit my country and see these wonderful places.
As a Chinese SEAsian living happily in the UK I am sorry your experiences in your birth country is so awful and you have sought greener pastures in my birth regions. My story is the same, but I migrated the other way. This goes to show that reasons are very personal and specific. You have good reasons to leave the UK, but that doesn't mean everyone "should too". Unconscious bias and the perspective "grass is always greener" are at play here.
You are right that it's personal but the UK trajectory in all aspects is downhill especially since brexit. Compared to this Asia seems like a hopeful upwardly mobile fast developing place.
Graduate, emigrate. English teacher Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan ... Are you a university graduate? Yes/No. The degree subject is totally irrelevant. Very interesting walk and talk, largely because I agree with ever word. Britain sucks, and you can't understand why everyone in your situation doesn't fly the coop. But ask yourself, would you really want them to. You would be creating a rod for your own back. Fortunately for the vast majority, the inertia is far too great, they prefer to remain washed up on the UK beach and moan. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
Left Blighty almost a decade and half ago. I would rather die than move back permanently. The country has gone downhill at breakneck speed and is only going to get worse. Wake up people and get working; there's a whole world out there that can provide you with a way out.
This TH-camr describes some of the rot in today’s Britain, which he labels ‘dystopian’ - a slight exaggeration, but he is on the right track. He begins by whingeing about David Cameron’s alleged austerity measures. Cameron is a highly disreputable figure, to be sure, but any half-hearted (and failed) attempts to slim down the bloated British State are the least indefensible of that failed prime minister’s many unattractive characteristics. The TH-camr complains about not receiving his due despite his two degrees, which is calculated to excite a ‘D’you think the world owes you a living, lad?!’ response from the university-of-life contingent. It also gives rise to reflections in the viewer about the many disadvantages of the expansion - and devaluation - of tertiary education, so that many young people emerge from the indoctrination-camp ‘universities’ imagining that well-paid jobs are all but guaranteed. The TH-camr explains how he got out of the dump that the UK has become by, among other things, learning Chinese. This is admirable. However, apart from a brief mention of Albanian gangsters’ confectioner-shop money-laundering outlets, he is ever so slightly pusillanimous in omitting any mention of the elephant in the room. And we all know what that is. Perhaps he judges that the slightest reference to the disastrous Western European policy of mass ethnic substitution will simply result in his entire TH-cam channel being taken down. (He is probably right in this.) Or maybe he approves: there’s a whole ‘TH-camrs Without Borders’ movement and he might be a member - a little like the credentialled folks who flee Newsom’s socialist-wasteland California for Florida but cling on to their luxury beliefs.
Nope I'm not buying this I'm Australian we have a much higher standard of living than the UK however Thailand Philippines Vietnam and SE Asian countries are hot as hell and with no real health care, there's no way you would catch most Australians living in those terrible third world countries, if you get sick over there you will probably die there
India has places which are colder than Australia. Go to Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh that is Northwestern Himalayas and Northeast India. The tea you drink is from Darjeeling in Indian Himalayas.
Malaysia is the 2nd most popular country in the world for health tourism (Singapore is the first). Both are SE Asian countries. Neither is a 3rd world hellhole. I think you need to update your preconceptions.
@nicolelee7205 If you exclude Delhi, Varanasi and thd adjoining region India isn't a hellhole at all. Look at South India, Northeast India, Northwestern Himalayan regions. Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Sikkim are beautiful. You can look at their pics in Google.
What's your view on the UK? Have you left? Do you plan on leaving soon?
I know of many Indian investors who are returning to India. Especially businessmen and investors. The government there is so stiff and cold to investments that there is no hope of investing or economic growth.
Buddy, I give my opinion.
British Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs and also the few Buddhists must unite together. Britain has an enemy, you can see it in Birmingham, East London. It's slowly taking over and dominating British culture. It's is inborn violent and radical. The recent liberal government of Starmer is aligned with it. London Mayor Sadiq Khan is an adherent of it. Half a million of them come by boats every year. Britain needs a true, iron fisted leader like Enoch Powell. Apparently I think Nigel Farage is there. Maybe I am right or wrong. Save Britain!

which country do you think you will settle down long term?
I live in Costa Rica but love visiting Scotland for The Fringe Festival.
leaving next year myself
Hi Fred, great to hear from you. Serious queston. What do you think the answers are to the points you brought up? Keep the videos coming.
A decent honest government would help.
@ I’ve not got any confidence in any politician. The whole political and class structure needs to change, which will never happen.

See the comment by a Jewish person here. He gives a good advice. You can make your country great again.
Thailand is a dream country for me to get a Digital Nomad visa
India? They have digital payment system.

Hello sir.
I am a Hindu from Bangladesh. I along with my best friend who is a Christian want to immigrate to China or any southeast Asian countries except Malaysia and Indonesia. Please advise you which country has the easiest visa rules. We are qualified with degrees on mechanical engineering. But the main reason is the situation in our country.
Our country is now an absolute hell for Hindus, Christians, Buddhists. If you see the news you will know the reason. Our houses, temples, churches are being burnt. We are being persecuted,assaulted and the police, millitary is supporting the persecution and instead arresting us. The new government is hard core Islamic and has announced routine persecution of minorities. 😰😥
I had thought of India but since many Hindu Bangladeshis have already mass immigrated to India it's difficult to get a visa for there.
Is it easy to get visa for China or any southeast Asian countries now ( except Malaysia, Indonesia) ? Please tell me. It's an earnest request. We want to save ourselves and our families.

I even failed to get a job in a gift shop at an English heritage property with a history degree. I retrained as an accountant ( self taught the exams) and run my own small local firm. UK does not care about it's own citizens and will just take the best of foreign countries. My advice to young people is to get out the country, no future here.
Yep, that's what the UK is like nowadays. Brexit didn't help.
Your very thick
It's the weather.
We NEED to leave... Any suggestions really welcome .... We survive on UK pension !! Can't afford to move to many places .. Such as Spain ext.... Ashamedly, we are both rubbish at languages... All help very welcomed ...
The UK is absolutely dire, there's practically zero law and order, we have a comedy central public transport system, a health care system that isn't fit for purpose, business closures, mass lay offs right across the Country, boarded up empty shops, buildings left to go to rack and ruin, an education system that inflicts disgusting agenda's onto the kids, protests galore, many rainbow flags, crime is through the roof along with continuation of illegal freeloaders that are arriving by the droves. Let's also not forget how expensive it is to live in the UK. I could go on and on.

What do you think of British Airways? 🤭😃🙃😂
Absolutely appalling. The worst “premium” airline I’ve flown. Had terrible experiences with rude, matronly cabin crew. The planes are dirty and the service is unprofessional.
@ChineseIsEasy Hahaha! It's an atrocious disgrace to the U.K. 🫣 They served me a 2 inch coronation sandwich for breakfast!
I'll take break in isli in 14 days 6 days than uk to UK next 22 days I'll return to UK...
Is that a sign of courage and patriotism?
If you are an immigrant or English you should fight and make your country great. Fight against the belief which is destroying Britain.
While I understand this guy has come a humble background and seems like a cool dude, but from what I saw in Asia, the reason why living in Asia, is such good value for money for Western people is that they get paid a lot more money (a European salary) then local people. Where as for example when a Filipino or an Indonesian emigrate to a wealthy Asian place such as Hong Kong or Singapore, I am not so sure they would describe Asia as good value for money, as they get paid really low wages!
Hi Fred
I am from Tel Aviv
I'm concerned about the impact of illegal immigration from Middle East on British culture and society. It's clear that the current situation is putting a strain on communities across the UK especially English white Christians, British Jews, British Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Asian immigrants. They are law abiding, hardworking, pay taxes. British Jews, hindus assimilate extremely well and are some of the best contributors.
In cities like Birmingham and East London, we're seeing the effects of unchecked immigration. They resemble Baghdad or Karachi. It's not just a matter of numbers; it's about the values and beliefs that are being brought into our country.
I'm worried that the recent liberal government and some of our leaders, like London Mayor Sadiq Khan who himself is an adherent of the faith I am talking about, are not taking this issue seriously enough. It's time for us to have an honest conversation about the impact of illegal immigration on your society.
We need to find a way to address this issue that is fair, humane, and respects the rule of law. You owe it to yourselves, your children, and your communities to get this right.
Uncontrolled immigration from Middle East will nosedive your economy and crush the health infrastructure, peace, education system of your country.
I can imagine the pain of Iranian non muslims who hoped to get a better life in Britain away from the regime and facing the same Islamist issue in Britain which they escaped from. Moreover not to mention the recent hate crimes on Jews, Hindus in Britain from the Islamists. Such a shame!
God bless the United Kingdom. God bless Israel. 🇮🇱🇬🇧
Have you heard of the kelergi plan?
It's a Neo Nazi myth.
What I care is for Judeo Christian values. And the truly peaceful, hardworking Asian and Hindu immigrants who today see themselves in an Islamic Caliphate of Britain.
@MrCarhoo
Yes I have.
What I care for is Judeo Christian values of Britain it's Christians, Jews. And the truly peaceful, hardworking Asian immigrants who today see themselves in an Islamic Caliphate of Britain.
@MrCarhoo
Yes I have. But I worry is the Judeo Christian values of Britain which is at stake today.
@@יונהאליראשון Judaism and Christianity are totally different. Accept Jesus as your god and give Palestine back to the Palestinians.
I was born in China and immigrated to UK in 2017, got my UK citizenship of UK in 2023 whilst I gave up my Chinese nationality. As you said the rising cost of living in the recent years and the economic downturn are causing lots of issues alongside with the immigration. I respect all the people who do what they say, but not so much on those Chinese who blame all western and promote their propaganda of Chinese Communist Party but living in the west.
You should join the Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs in the protests against rising Islamism. Are you doing that?
Aren't you joining the protests against Islamism?
Why arent you protesting together with christians, Jews, hindus against the peaceful community?
You should unite with the Christians, Jews, Hindus in Britain and fight against it
What a fool
Hello from India.
I am a Parsee Zoroastrian. One of our community members who founded and owned the Tata Conglomerate recently closed one of its steel plant ( Tata Steel) in United Kingdom due to the government's policies resulting in unemployment of many British men near Port Talbot.
I know of many Indian investors who are returning to India. Especially businessmen and investors. The government there is so stiff and cold to investments that there is no hope of investing or economic growth.
Mass immigration from Middle East will further make Britain's economy nosedive.
I was planning to go to China for a trip. But I am having problems in getting a visa. Can you please advise me?
Also can you please kindly visit the northwestern Himalayas of India ( Kashmir , Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh) Northeast and South India? They are beautiful and nothing like Delhi, Varanasi which paints a very negative stereotype.
Where are you now?
Britain is today still there because of the Jewish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian immigrants along with white people who pay taxes and are hardworking, law abiding.
Greetings and stay safe.
There is still time British people can save their country from Islamisation.
Parsees are Persian I guess. You guys escaped Iran during Muhammads conquest to India to save your culture, religion. Respect to you guys. Persia was a great nation and ancient civilization. Persian Jews are a wonderful community which is a bridge between our cultures. King Darius liberated Jews from Assyrians allowing them to resettle in Jerusalem and the reconstruction of the Holy Temple. The connection between Persia and Israel goes deep back to 2400 years. Free Persia from Islamic Regime! Crown Prince Pahalavi is a wonderful person. He can make Persia a great ally of Israel as it has been earlier.
Most of the mass immigration to the UK is from India and Africa, not the Muslim world.
Mr. Fred
I will be extremely grateful if you can kindly reply to my question and also why was my comment ignored. Let me assure I am not a troll nor what I am saying is absolutely false.
I am disappointed to see that you are putting countries like Phillipines, Indonesia and ignoring my country. India ranks higher than Phillipines in the global quality of life index. Sir, with due kindness please don't judge India entirely based on your experience in Delhi. India is extremely diverse and has a lot of beautiful places. If you visit the country and explore in detail you will realise it's amazing diversity. A lot of people stereotype India just by the image of Delhi or Varanasi. That's extremely gross. We have Northeast India which is completely as beautiful as Tibet and Southeast Asia. India has Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh which are complete paradise in Himalayas. There is Southern India with its beautiful tropical backwaters of Kerala, Nilgiri mountains, rainforests. The country boasts one of the best wildlife sanctuaries, biodiversity national parks.
I accept India has a lot of challenges but that doesn't make the entire country gross. There are places which are extremely well standard and thriving economically especially South India. I earnestly request you to please visit India and see the places I mentioned above by yourself. I guarantee you sir, Northeast India will make you feel in East/ Southeast Asia. You will be shocked to see how clean and beautiful Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh are with a Romanian vibe.
I also bet that if you go to any private hospital in India especially in South India, you will find a lot of patients from Southeast Asia, Gulf countries. A lot of Southeast Asians, Gulf Arabs go to India for medical treatment in its private hospitals which is extremely affordable and very high quality. In government healthcare facilities only the AIIMS ( all India institute of medical sciences) provide quality medical treatment and has its branches in all major cities of India the main one being in New Delhi. There are many foreign western expats who reside in India especially Americans and are satisfied. India is extremely affordable and with a high budget one can live an extremely wealthy life. The rural India especially in Himalayas are amazing and have many elderly British who have bought holiday cottages in Darjeeling, Shimla. So I once more earnestly request please visit my country and see these wonderful places.
As a Chinese SEAsian living happily in the UK I am sorry your experiences in your birth country is so awful and you have sought greener pastures in my birth regions. My story is the same, but I migrated the other way. This goes to show that reasons are very personal and specific. You have good reasons to leave the UK, but that doesn't mean everyone "should too". Unconscious bias and the perspective "grass is always greener" are at play here.
You are right that it's personal but the UK trajectory in all aspects is downhill especially since brexit. Compared to this Asia seems like a hopeful upwardly mobile fast developing place.
If you get a chance try to visit India.
Graduate, emigrate.
English teacher Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan ... Are you a university graduate? Yes/No.
The degree subject is totally irrelevant.
Very interesting walk and talk, largely because I agree with ever word.
Britain sucks, and you can't understand why everyone in your situation doesn't fly the coop. But ask yourself, would you really want them to. You would be creating a rod for your own back. Fortunately for the vast majority, the inertia is far too great, they prefer to remain washed up on the UK beach and moan.
Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
Left Blighty almost a decade and half ago. I would rather die than move back permanently. The country has gone downhill at breakneck speed and is only going to get worse.
Wake up people and get working; there's a whole world out there that can provide you with a way out.
It’s the same in Ireland, many parts of Europe , USA, Canada, Australia - it’s all been planned at the same time - no coincidence
This TH-camr describes some of the rot in today’s Britain, which he labels ‘dystopian’ - a slight exaggeration, but he is on the right track. He begins by whingeing about David Cameron’s alleged austerity measures. Cameron is a highly disreputable figure, to be sure, but any half-hearted (and failed) attempts to slim down the bloated British State are the least indefensible of that failed prime minister’s many unattractive characteristics. The TH-camr complains about not receiving his due despite his two degrees, which is calculated to excite a ‘D’you think the world owes you a living, lad?!’ response from the university-of-life contingent. It also gives rise to reflections in the viewer about the many disadvantages of the expansion - and devaluation - of tertiary education, so that many young people emerge from the indoctrination-camp ‘universities’ imagining that well-paid jobs are all but guaranteed. The TH-camr explains how he got out of the dump that the UK has become by, among other things, learning Chinese. This is admirable. However, apart from a brief mention of Albanian gangsters’ confectioner-shop money-laundering outlets, he is ever so slightly pusillanimous in omitting any mention of the elephant in the room. And we all know what that is. Perhaps he judges that the slightest reference to the disastrous Western European policy of mass ethnic substitution will simply result in his entire TH-cam channel being taken down. (He is probably right in this.) Or maybe he approves: there’s a whole ‘TH-camrs Without Borders’ movement and he might be a member - a little like the credentialled folks who flee Newsom’s socialist-wasteland California for Florida but cling on to their luxury beliefs.
If the UK is so bad why is there so many people coming here ? Oh I know free everything.
Where can I find a nice British lady to date? I'm in Malaysia. Any British family looking for a retirement opportunity here?
Nope I'm not buying this I'm Australian we have a much higher standard of living than the UK however Thailand Philippines Vietnam and SE Asian countries are hot as hell and with no real health care, there's no way you would catch most Australians living in those terrible third world countries, if you get sick over there you will probably die there
India has places which are colder than Australia. Go to Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh that is Northwestern Himalayas and Northeast India. The tea you drink is from Darjeeling in Indian Himalayas.
Australia has much better weather than the UK but that's about it. Now that the mining boom is over Australia has nothing to offer but sunshine.
Malaysia is the 2nd most popular country in the world for health tourism (Singapore is the first). Both are SE Asian countries. Neither is a 3rd world hellhole. I think you need to update your preconceptions.
@nicolelee7205
If you exclude Delhi, Varanasi and thd adjoining region India isn't a hellhole at all.
Look at South India, Northeast India, Northwestern Himalayan regions. Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Sikkim are beautiful. You can look at their pics in Google.
@nicolelee7205
India isn't either if you exclude Delhi, Varanasi and the adjoining regions which bring a bad name to India.
Can you please advise me, how to become digital nomad
