Been living in Portsmoth and Southampton area for more that 12 years, I have seen not a single crane set to build something new. What is going on? All the money spent on benefit, housing and mental health. Nothing to improve quality of life of working class and families.
Born and bred Brit... in my late 40s... Loved the UK growing up (god bless the 70s/80s)... After decades of torment working in the National Harm Service (NHS)... I've finally left and now live in PARADISE (Goa, India)... Yes India also has many issues for sure... but the people are happy, warm, kind and helpful. And the cost of living is amazing!! I can work as a doctor with freedom and respect and not being forced to be vaXXinated!! Good luck to any of you who chose to leave for a better life abroad.. You won't regret it
@@robertmiur2388 I love the Colombian people. Had a guy work with me years ago and we are still friends to this day. Rwally good fun people and loyal if you break into their inner circle. In another life I'd have loved to live in Colombia.
Been in and out of the UK for 20 years, Brexit was the last straw, screwed my business up bigtime so I moved to Germany 4 years ago. I wish i done it 20 years ago
You moved to Germany ! Stay ready to move again - anytime soon. Germany is on the decline as well. It is just that our wealth was a bit better than the UKs (because of the "Wirtschaftswunder" and a rather strong economy). So it takes some more years to totally ruin it.
My British company actually boomed after Brexit and I'm also currently in the process of helping 3 companies who are moving to the UK from the EU because of GPSR and other redicoulsly red tape issues!
@@davidholgate123 Dave, firstly, if your company did boom after Brexit, that would have been despite Brexit, not because of it, as there is nothing that would give you any advantage, so statistically your company didn't boom at all, in fact it is probably 30% smaller than it would otherwise have been. Second, GPSR is protecting all Europeans from low quality crap that they don't want. To circumvent it is a disadvantage for your under educated, unhealthy, depressed, skint British customers, making you a lowlife scam artist, taking advantage of a bunch of island thicko's. Thirdly, you are not helping any companies currently in the EU to move to the other side of the self imposed Iron Curtain located on the shitsmeared side of La Manche, because only a fuckwit would choose 68 million broke unhealthy under educated customers, over 450 million healthy, wealthy motivated, educated customers in Europe and 330 million easier to sell to American customers plus advantageous trade arangements with most other R.O.W. cutomers. My advice for you Dave, lie to the fat dumb and happy people in your local pub, don't embarrass yourself online in front of a superior audience.
If you think the future for Germany looks good then you're completely deluded ...!! Suggest you speak to a few Germans...!! And read the Draghi Report !
It's not hard to see what the problems are. Taxation is too high stifling economic growth. The welfare system is out of control. We are paying millions of people to be economically inactive. Immigration is out of control pushing up house prices and putting pressure on public services but there is an agenda at play, it's all being done for a reason and no one is going to make the changes needed.
Living in the UK in a nice house in the country is still difficult to beat. Sure, living in a tiny house in some shitty town suburb is pretty depressing though
@@jguthrie100 I agree. If you live in England in how England used to be, then yeah it's lovely. You still get rinsed on taxes though. And at some point l, the problems that plague the cities will be on the door steps of middle England
I live in a place that is cheaper, and i dont recognise your comment . England and its communities arent rotting. I think you're a doomer. Yes there are pockets but they dont need to move out just move around! Thats what i did. I got out of Bristol. But Bristol is liveable too. But Devon is better. And cheaper than Bristol .i couldn't get a house in Bristol here i can. I dont agree with you moving OUT of Britain
There are 3rd world countries in the far east ( where I live) better organised and governed than the my beloved UK. Which is being dragged down by religion and corrupt politicians😂😂😂😂
Really impossible for British people to not be negative, given the insanity of government policy. High tax, high regulations, no sizeable economy outside of finance and banking…it’s a joke.
I moved to Thailand 15 years ago. I can't believe how low the UK has sunk since then, while things are improving all the time over here. Plus, social costs have doubled since I left. Even with a small private pension and the state pension, I would have a pretty poor lifestyle compared to living where I am. Plus the food and weather is great here. It's very safe and the Thais are warm, friendly people.
I had a friend visit from Malaysia back in 2000. She said, "UK, great past, but no future". I thought that was a bit harsh, but I started agreeing a few years ago. If you've worked or lived in a few different countries, you can compare. If not, you have to go on what other people think, but YT makes that easier. I worked in Dubai for a little while and was glad to leave after some months (I have worked in the mid east before). I didn't really like the job. For a couple of days though (I was off sick) I went around Dubai and thought it was OK. Back in the UK A few years later I did the checklist, Dubai was coming out on top. Having someplace nice to stay makes all the difference. You can live in an apartment in Dubai with a gym, a swimming pool, underground parking, that's close to the Metro (which is computer controlled, always on time). It's generally safe too and go out at night and it feels peaceful. Heat, yes, but sunshine almost every day...but then, I've never really been into the UK's cold, wind and rain that much, and that's as a person that used to cycle year round. Of course, summer is nice (for those few unexpected days a year). Another thing is the UK democracy. It's a joke. Just like the the US. The one in charge can decide to attack another country or send money to commit genocide even while their own citizens starve. Total BS! A system that's 100's of years old. What makes them think it's fit for purpose now? Does everything else progress apart from the systems designed to keep the poor, poor? The ruler of Dubai's stated aim is to make the city the best in the world. He's got to this point in the last 30 years or so. How long did London have to get to this point? So, you can't really compare the two. Yes, they don't have everything right, but as a work in progress, it's pretty impressive. Of course there is no 2 party system with their shouting and trying to score points off each other. Just one person, with a vision for his city. What's the vision for UK.plc? What the UK really needs is the best people in the correct positions, doing the job for the good of the country, not for themselves/friends & family. After the last few years, it should be more obvious that life is precious, and governments can make bad decisions that may very well cut yours short. Surely there's a lesson in that!
Standard of leaving in Central and Eastern European countries have increased considerably in the last decade while in the UK decreased. Many of them like Croatia, Slovenia and maybe Poland are at least equal to the UK. Countries like Romania and Bulgaria if the current trend continues will be better than UK by 2050.
What you say about the depressive environment in UK really struck a chord with me. Mention you intend to emigrate and the invariable response is, "It's such a long way." This is so irrelevant unless you intent to drive or even walk to your host nation. And when it comes moral courage, Brits are such a bunch of gutless wonders: "That's it, I'm emigrating." Six months later you run into them and they've always got their excuses ready. "I'd miss football, the pub, family, TV programmes ..." You have to be prepared to plough it under. Excuses are like a***holes, everybody got one. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
@@DanhunterofficialI feel you and people like you are the problem . I have 3 passports so I am fine . You sound depressed and are jumping on the TH-cam poverty 🌽 content. Your call and the bots agree . Good luck .
Your Hotel comparison is spot on. You see it when you enter a Hotel in the UK. I did this some years ago in London (5 stars !!). It was extremely expensive but service was less than standard and done by some east european workers for the owners to save money. The whole interior has not been properly maintained since the war (bathrooms !! carpets !!). It is exactly as you described and it is a good metaphor for the UK (or even whole europe ? (except Switzerland !)).
I have lived in negative areas, but didn't stay too long. Lived in a fairly positive area up to 2 years ago, but my job was in a fairly negative factory. I changed both, 2 years ago. I rent in a nice area, and work 200 yards away in a job that has years of work ahead. The few moans I hear, are about 5% of my last job, other wise, they are nearly all good, positive people. Amazing difference just moving 30 miles. Even the roads are better to drive on!
Dubai is not all it’s cracked up to be. 10-15 years ago it would have been a brilliant place to move for work purposes. Now, it’s overpopulated like crazy and slowly becoming more westernised
I've seen loads of TH-cam videos lately of people moving back to the UK from Dubai or to other parts of the world... The novelty has worn off... I couldn't think of anything worse than living in a beige nature-depleted desert... The vast majority of people living there are men too!... Close to 70% 😮 It's an absolute sausage-fest.
@@davidholgate123 oh fair enough, if its not for you then that's OK I guess. Also the sausage fest is made up mostly of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi workers. Who are not on the dating scene. So if you're look g to meet women then you totally can. It's not the sausage fest you think it is. The stats are weirdly skewed because of large scale migrant workers in construction etc
The Uk is 100% so negative. You cant realy exist in peace without judgement if your different or outside the box. I went to spain and no matter how much my social anxiety flared up(from bad experiences her in the UK) ppl were extremely kind, inclusive and understanding. I left feeling refreshed and confident in myself . I genuinley didnt know ppl in ither countries are just too happy(on a general societal level) to be hateful. The UK has a severe mob mentality and covert bullying culture that needs to be fixed asap. From work environmenta that are meant to be proffesional to just surface level interactions. Ppl in portugal for example still say hello and are cordial to people they dont like. In the UK people will fully just ignore you if they dont like you and treat you as less than human. It happens in japan too and its mind boggling to behold.
Yes,I agree.There is a really bad mob mentality in the U.K Too many wannabes,I went to a place called Vassenden,a little village in Norway and I can honestly say I've never known such peace.I thought "I could live here".
It's the same everywhere now. All Anglosphere countries are suffering inflation and stagnant economies and unfortunately due to these nations de industrialising, the Political and Corporate class see Mass immigration as a means to pump up their economies. This is just making things worse for individuals even though GDP gets expanded. Here in Australia, things are going backwards, but we are starting from a very high level, so it's still livable here. For how long, I dont know, but if you want a chance at a life where you can have disposable income if you work, Australia is the best place in the Anglosphere. Come to Australia. Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart are still affordable cities as are regional towns. Goodluck.

Dan : I left a couple of years ago. I now live in a country which is proud of its National Identity .The nation's flag flies everywhere and the sense of solidarity among all classes is strong .!! Nothing to do with race either. All shades of colour here from palest white to ebony black. Rich and poor . They all feel part of something bigger. Cost of living at least half of UK. Politicians destroyed our sense of Social / National.cohesion and once that's gone its game over..!! Germany rapidly heading the same way....my advice : Get out of Western Europe before the economic / social collapse....!!
You should’ve finished your analogy of the hotel with- ‘ the hotel closes and the government fills the hotel to the brim full of unvetted asylum seekers to the benefit of private companies such as SERCO’😂 Absolutely agree about the constant excuses war, pandemic all a cover-up to re-purchase bonds or deliberately cause inflation
Firstly Dan , thanks for saying "because of lockdown" and not covid! Secondly, keep it up, I like your content. I'm currently in Thailand after Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Prague and Germany on this current 5 week trip. (Huge amount of research travel in the last 2 years.) Compared to most places I go to, the UK (esp. Scotland) is so oppressive and regulated, and that doesn't even equate to functional public services. I could go on. I have such a loyalty to my highland community in Scotland but sometimes at 64 I feel like I should take my modest pot of money and live free elsewhere.
@@alexf7377 my thoughts exactly! And yes lock down, not covid... Lol we both know what we mean by that! Thanks for the words of encouragement too. This is all a bit new doing TH-cam so it's nice to get positive feedback and is massively appreciated.
Been planning to escape the uniparty for 5 years, more seriously for 3 while looking after my mum full-time in her final years and watching the rise of Sakir Stoma. Mum passed away February 2023 and I landed here in January 2024. Life is good, I am treated better as an immigrant here than I was as a born and raised UK citizen. Best thing I ever did. 27 degrees today (October 20th), peaceful, high trust society (I haven’t locked my car since February), well worth the tax I pay the government.
@@Danhunterofficial Thanks Dan, sadly it was her time to leave. Then my turn followed once I had done what I obviously needed do for her. Now living in Southern Spain on the edge of Europe's largest desert. Proper Spain a little bit inland, non touristy farming country where the Spanish people live and work. Great culture, welcoming people if you don't expect it to become little Britain now you have arrived (I.e., learn the language, eat and behave well like they do etc) and as you noticed, some proper weather of course. Weather... It'll be cold overnight tonight, about 17 degrees lowest so mid to high 20s again tomorrow once the sun has warmed things up again. 😁
@@stepup-m8s Thank you, it isn’t difficult to do that here. Even today as we had a pretty shallow earthquake 1.5 km beneath us. It sounded like a whole bunch of demolition hammers on the villa as a freight train passed through. Luckily as we get over 300 small ones a year the places here are built to withstand it. But some of the garden walls may need a bit of attention on the render tomorrow, difficult to tell in the dark. It is certainly a different experience to the U.K., we had 5 tornadoes running through the campo around the villa this summer too. But mostly it is a very positive outdoor lifestyle pretty much all year. And the beer is 31 cents a tin… my neighbours tell me I am paying too much. 😁
Looks like a soullous barren sandy concrete nightmare to me. I walk out my house straight into fields, trees, rivers. I can walk and cycle to the shops/pub/whatever. People are blind to the good things they have right in front of them half the time.
Right now, some parts of Asia are the only sane places to be, together with Norway, Finland/Iceland, Denmark and maybe Poland. But you see the US, there's a major storm coming their way. Their wages is about to plunge or better yet, the inflation is about to consume them. It feels like the great depression asides from the areas you had mentioned.
@@290revolver290 you're right. The US does run the risk of inflation coming back, like it did in the 7os where there was a decade of rising then falling inflation then rising again. Let's see I guess. But yeah, I agree with you
@@Danhunterofficial I really enjoyed your video, especially the quote from George Carlin and the 5 Star hotel illustration. From your point of view, where do you see the UK heading generally? Do you think it will end up as a society where there would hardly be businesses and only limited government jobs or what do you actually see from your perspective?
I agree, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Southeast / East Asia are the only nice places left, but even Scandinavia is getting bad. Malmo, Sweden looks like Mogadhisu.
A Question - How would they be able to enforce an exit tax? For example, if I run a consulting business and own a home. I'd just shut the shell company and transfer the assets (Me :D) to another company in UAE. Sell house and put all my Assets onto a Crypto Cold Wallet in (USD Tether). This would make enforcing the exit tax impossible in my opinion.
@@markwa8400 that's not going to wash. You will have a business, an accountant and a paper trial of all the money. You are a UK citizen and whislt you could 'run away', which in effe t this is what you're suggesting. They will catch up with you. You have residency in the uae and are at the pleasure of the government. So if the UK government want to ckme for you they have all sorts of ways to do it and they WILL get you. I always say to people, the UK tax system has had one thousand years. Or even let's just talk modern tax, 3 hundred years of working out how people dodge tax. They are very very VERY good at getting you. You won't out smart them with some genius loop hole you just thought of. They might not catch you tomorrow, or in 12 months. But they will eventually work their way up to you through a paper trail and the crypto ledger. At that point, none of it will have been worth it.
London five-star hotel: Stg.1,000 a night! Are you having a laugh. You can literally stay for a month at a top hotel in Ho Chi Minh City for what a weekend would cost you in London. Jack, the Japan Alps
Crime ? Where I live in a small Midlands town, I haven't experienced or seen any for years. I know it happens in some residential areas with more social problems. But not as you describe. You've moved to a place where Summer conditions are barely survivable without air-conditioning as I understand it. How justified & sustainable is that ?
I can see that young people could do better financially and on housing moving out of the UK. But the UK still has a lot going for it . Culturally, it is a world leader. I would stay out of cities and large towns, but it has some incredible and varied places and incredible landscapes. Many places have almost no crime, where people leave their doors unlocked for years. The business environment is worse due to brexit but it is still easy to start up and without much interference, plus it is trustworthy with 30 days credit common. The weather haas been fairly poor this year but has had very hot summers for the last few years. The winters are damp but mild. There's little snow and ice in the south. One day, the UK will find it's rain very valuable
@@justinriley-l8o that might be considered a crime lol. Also if you're in a caravan in the desert you'll roast. Especially in the summer the heat is hard to wrap your head around until you're in it!
Ive been in countries where its 50c in the summer its not that bad in the Philippines . Just stay in the shade and don't go out. If i cannot live for cheap, Dubai isn't for me
@@justinriley-l8o sitting in a metal box in the scorching sun might get old fast. But no Dubai isn't exavtly cheap. You can live cheaply I guess but pitching a caravan in the desert isn't at the top of the smart things to do list!
@@Danhunterofficial Is fuel cheap because i can run a aircon unit. If the cost of living is high its not worth it. No better off then the UK. I'm hard working, i have a job. The problem with the UK is their is no incentive to build a business because of planning permission rules and regulations.
Lots of free stuff...??!! Who wouldn't come ? Live in a hotel until your free flat is ready , free meals and work cash in hand... Then once you get asylum status it's into Housing Benefit and Tax credits ! Bingo..!!
Philippines is looking ok, GDP every year 5.2%. Buildings are going up all the time. Cheap labour if you can tame them. AI is going to destroy their call centers they'll need to diversify
this was all happening to the working class decades ago. now the middle is getting it too all the fuss starts bubbling up. i got out of that tory sh1thole in 1990
@@jonathanlake6053 how much is it to leave the UAE? Nothing. There's no tax. But it's not 20k to enter. But you'll need to open a company, have accommodation sorted etc. So you'll need money to get established here.
Good luck in Dubai. Enjoy your air-conditioned indoor life. Don't bother coming back. The U.K is a great place to live for many people, that's why 'everyone' isn't leaving. If money means more to you than quality of life, I feel sorry for you. I'll enjoy the beauty of our countryside, the history, diversity and wonderful cities. The quality of food and slower pace of life. Crime here is no worse than anywhere else in Europe.
I'd move to Japan, much safer and cheaper homes and a much different culture to learn, would be fun and interesting. The thing I hate is others moving to a country and not living within or making an effort to their culture. Expats Inc and those Brits in Spain who live in a foreign Britain 🤣 it's ridiculous.
@@bertiekemp4198 yeah there's a lot of that in parts of dubai as well. But it can easily be avoided. If love to go to Japan too, but it's still high tax. Also as a westerners you aren't treated as a local. You're Gaijin, which means alien!
@@Danhunterofficial Very true, tax keeps the people poor and with England getting poorer, how can they then upgrade anything?! It's impossible. I fully believe they are running the NHS into the ground so they can sell it on purpose. I had no idea they called foreigners alien, that's very harsh, guess it's the same thing as gringo 🤔
@@Danhunterofficial Wow, never knew that, alien is pretty harsh but guess it's the same kinda thing as being called a gringo ect. True, the problem with the UK now is they are so poor now that they can't upgrade anything. I reckon they've been starving the NHS on purpose so they can say it doesn't work and sell it. The tax is there only to keep the people poor and we now work for the government rather than a government that work for the people. Corruption in the house of Lords, governments and police, they don't even hide it anymore.
I've heard of hyperbole but really "Everyone". "EVERYONE"? Funny, I see the same amount of people on the streets this week as last. He choose Dubai but in his check list did he mention Health care? No, and for ex-pats you have to have private insurance. He feels okay now, but did he get his appendix out before he travelled? Did he get his prostate checked before going? Is he certain that he will remain healthy until death? No, because we can all see the signs of Dementia already.

hi dan i watch most of your podcasts i was there for 23 years it was great. now im in far east and have no intention of going back to uk. the lady who tried it on with DP world obviously has never visited jebel ali which is the flagship of UAE. I met Mr Sulayman 35 years ago when only about 45 companies where in jebel ali freezone and now i think maybe 10-15 thousand. The lady in the uk who complained about P & O should really go for a sabatical and understand what is going on in the world as she is a 37 year old loser who has done nothing but try to convince the pilgrims what is right and what is wrong.

@@wycliffeobiero-m7p it's probabaly an inability to accept we no longer have an empire. A lot of act like we still rule the world, but in reality we are just some little island that hasn't done anything significant for 100 years. So I think it's living off past glories and snobbery.
I blame the government for this countries ills. Every couintry has its fair share of bad weather but when you have a government that are useless, then no wonder the country is in the mess it is in.
Basically the country got cocky thinking that because the empire was so big that they're untouchable. Long story short. the British are no different than everybody else. Empires rise and fall all the time in history and there was no contingency plan for after the empire crumbled. You say "they used to be enterprising" but in reality so was everybody else. Germans, the French and if we go back far enough, every ither country lol. All nations have had empires come and go. Only British think their forgotten empire makes them better than everybody else. The nation was just rich is enough to dominate others. There's nothing special about Belonging to any nation. We are all just human trying to get by. This is coming from a black Brit who can see things from the inside out and outside in.
I have too much ties to the U.K. right now, probably for the next 15+ years, as I have 5+ companies and I’m a reservist in the U.K. armed forces.

Everyone…… well I don’t know anyone who wants to leave the UK. I’ve worked in 40+ countries including the US, most counties in the EU including Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, France, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, south America, Middle East etc. Certainly the weather can be better in some countries, and some where new while on hols is always fantastic, but living in northern EU in -20 isn’t great, trains in Germany are late, the gun crime in Sweden is apparently 300% worse than London, and it does on. Comparing a country to a hotel with great food at cheap prices sort of seems strange. I guess that all of the immigrants who are currently in ‘countries better than the UK according to you’, Germany, France, for example seem to want to get to the UK, and don’t suggest it’s because the UK gives greater financial support then I would suggest you look at the financial support immigrants get from other EU counties, which are better than the UK. Food, electricty, diesel, patrol and taxes are higher all over EU than the UK. Im working with folk from Belgium at the moment on 60% tax, great chocolate and beer but I’d rather pay less tax. Everyone one’s entitled to an opinion it’s a free world, but making a comment about negativity and then saying everyone is leaving the UK, and you should too….. I think that’s negative.

You moved to Germany ! Stay ready to move again - anytime soon. Germany is on the decline as well. It is just that our wealth was a bit better than the UKs (because of the "Wirtschaftswunder" and a rather strong economy). So it takes some more years to totally ruin it.
My British company actually boomed after Brexit and I'm also currently in the process of helping 3 companies who are moving to the UK from the EU because of GPSR and other redicoulsly red tape issues!
@@davidholgate123 Dave, firstly, if your company did boom after Brexit, that would have been despite Brexit, not because of it, as there is nothing that would give you any advantage, so statistically your company didn't boom at all, in fact it is probably 30% smaller than it would otherwise have been. Second, GPSR is protecting all Europeans from low quality crap that they don't want. To circumvent it is a disadvantage for your under educated, unhealthy, depressed, skint British customers, making you a lowlife scam artist, taking advantage of a bunch of island thicko's. Thirdly, you are not helping any companies currently in the EU to move to the other side of the self imposed Iron Curtain located on the shitsmeared side of La Manche, because only a fuckwit would choose 68 million broke unhealthy under educated customers, over 450 million healthy, wealthy motivated, educated customers in Europe and 330 million easier to sell to American customers plus advantageous trade arangements with most other R.O.W. cutomers.
My advice for you Dave, lie to the fat dumb and happy people in your local pub, don't embarrass yourself online in front of a superior audience.
If you think the future for Germany looks good then you're completely deluded ...!!
Suggest you speak to a few Germans...!!
And read the Draghi Report !
yeah germany is doing so great.
It's not hard to see what the problems are. Taxation is too high stifling economic growth. The welfare system is out of control. We are paying millions of people to be economically inactive. Immigration is out of control pushing up house prices and putting pressure on public services but there is an agenda at play, it's all being done for a reason and no one is going to make the changes needed.

Living in the UK in a nice house in the country is still difficult to beat.
Sure, living in a tiny house in some shitty town suburb is pretty depressing though
@@jguthrie100 I agree. If you live in England in how England used to be, then yeah it's lovely. You still get rinsed on taxes though. And at some point l, the problems that plague the cities will be on the door steps of middle England

time to get the invaders out . .. . !
I live in a tiny house. Im ok. Have 3 beaches nearby and good neighbours. Move
I live in a place that is cheaper, and i dont recognise your comment . England and its communities arent rotting. I think you're a doomer. Yes there are pockets but they dont need to move out just move around! Thats what i did. I got out of Bristol. But Bristol is liveable too. But Devon is better. And cheaper than Bristol .i couldn't get a house in Bristol here i can. I dont agree with you moving OUT of Britain

Really impossible for British people to not be negative, given the insanity of government policy.
High tax, high regulations, no sizeable economy outside of finance and banking…it’s a joke.
I moved to Thailand 15 years ago. I can't believe how low the UK has sunk since then, while things are improving all the time over here. Plus, social costs have doubled since I left. Even with a small private pension and the state pension, I would have a pretty poor lifestyle compared to living where I am. Plus the food and weather is great here. It's very safe and the Thais are warm, friendly people.
I had a friend visit from Malaysia back in 2000. She said, "UK, great past, but no future". I thought that was a bit harsh, but I started agreeing a few years ago.
If you've worked or lived in a few different countries, you can compare. If not, you have to go on what other people think, but YT makes that easier.
I worked in Dubai for a little while and was glad to leave after some months (I have worked in the mid east before). I didn't really like the job. For a couple of days though (I was off sick) I went around Dubai and thought it was OK.
Back in the UK A few years later I did the checklist, Dubai was coming out on top.
Having someplace nice to stay makes all the difference. You can live in an apartment in Dubai with a gym, a swimming pool, underground parking, that's close to the Metro (which is computer controlled, always on time). It's generally safe too and go out at night and it feels peaceful. Heat, yes, but sunshine almost every day...but then, I've never really been into the UK's cold, wind and rain that much, and that's as a person that used to cycle year round. Of course, summer is nice (for those few unexpected days a year).
Another thing is the UK democracy. It's a joke. Just like the the US. The one in charge can decide to attack another country or send money to commit genocide even while their own citizens starve. Total BS!
A system that's 100's of years old. What makes them think it's fit for purpose now? Does everything else progress apart from the systems designed to keep the poor, poor?
The ruler of Dubai's stated aim is to make the city the best in the world. He's got to this point in the last 30 years or so. How long did London have to get to this point? So, you can't really compare the two. Yes, they don't have everything right, but as a work in progress, it's pretty impressive. Of course there is no 2 party system with their shouting and trying to score points off each other. Just one person, with a vision for his city. What's the vision for UK.plc?
What the UK really needs is the best people in the correct positions, doing the job for the good of the country, not for themselves/friends & family.
After the last few years, it should be more obvious that life is precious, and governments can make bad decisions that may very well cut yours short. Surely there's a lesson in that!
@@SA-cloud amazing post!
Standard of leaving in Central and Eastern European countries have increased considerably in the last decade while in the UK decreased.

What you say about the depressive environment in UK really struck a chord with me. Mention you intend to emigrate and the invariable response is, "It's such a long way." This is so irrelevant unless you intent to drive or even walk to your host nation. And when it comes moral courage, Brits are such a bunch of gutless wonders: "That's it, I'm emigrating." Six months later you run into them and they've always got their excuses ready. "I'd miss football, the pub, family, TV programmes ..." You have to be prepared to plough it under. Excuses are like a***holes, everybody got one.

Your Hotel comparison is spot on. You see it when you enter a Hotel in the UK. I did this some years ago in London (5 stars !!). It was extremely expensive but service was less than standard and done by some east european workers for the owners to save money. The whole interior has not been properly maintained since the war (bathrooms !! carpets !!). It is exactly as you described and it is a good metaphor for the UK (or even whole europe ? (except Switzerland !)).
@@silversurfer493 yeah the term 'rip off britain' is so true. The entire place is living off past glories.
So awfully sad what’s happened to the uk, when you have dumb leaders what can you expect.
I have lived in negative areas, but didn't stay too long. Lived in a fairly positive area up to 2 years ago, but my job was in a fairly negative factory.
I changed both, 2 years ago. I rent in a nice area, and work 200 yards away in a job that has years of work ahead.
The few moans I hear, are about 5% of my last job, other wise, they are nearly all good, positive people.
Amazing difference just moving 30 miles. Even the roads are better to drive on!
Dubai is not all it’s cracked up to be. 10-15 years ago it would have been a brilliant place to move for work purposes. Now, it’s overpopulated like crazy and slowly becoming more westernised
yeah im sure it's not the same as it used to be. But im enjoying it for what it is and its 100 times better than the UK!
I've seen loads of TH-cam videos lately of people moving back to the UK from Dubai or to other parts of the world... The novelty has worn off... I couldn't think of anything worse than living in a beige nature-depleted desert... The vast majority of people living there are men too!... Close to 70% 😮 It's an absolute sausage-fest.
@@davidholgate123 oh fair enough, if its not for you then that's OK I guess.
Also the sausage fest is made up mostly of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi workers. Who are not on the dating scene. So if you're look g to meet women then you totally can. It's not the sausage fest you think it is.
The stats are weirdly skewed because of large scale migrant workers in construction etc
The Uk is 100% so negative. You cant realy exist in peace without judgement if your different or outside the box. I went to spain and no matter how much my social anxiety flared up(from bad experiences her in the UK) ppl were extremely kind, inclusive and understanding. I left feeling refreshed and confident in myself . I genuinley didnt know ppl in ither countries are just too happy(on a general societal level) to be hateful. The UK has a severe mob mentality and covert bullying culture that needs to be fixed asap. From work environmenta that are meant to be proffesional to just surface level interactions. Ppl in portugal for example still say hello and are cordial to people they dont like. In the UK people will fully just ignore you if they dont like you and treat you as less than human. It happens in japan too and its mind boggling to behold.

It's the same everywhere now. All Anglosphere countries are suffering inflation and stagnant economies and unfortunately due to these nations de industrialising, the Political and Corporate class see Mass immigration as a means to pump up their economies. This is just making things worse for individuals even though GDP gets expanded. Here in Australia, things are going backwards, but we are starting from a very high level, so it's still livable here. For how long, I dont know, but if you want a chance at a life where you can have disposable income if you work, Australia is the best place in the Anglosphere. Come to Australia. Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart are still affordable cities as are regional towns. Goodluck.

But some of the garden walls may need a bit of attention on the render tomorrow, difficult to tell in the dark.
It is certainly a different experience to the U.K., we had 5 tornadoes running through the campo around the villa this summer too. But mostly it is a very positive outdoor lifestyle pretty much all year. And the beer is 31 cents a tin… my neighbours tell me I am paying too much. 😁

A Question - How would they be able to enforce an exit tax? For example, if I run a consulting business and own a home. I'd just shut the shell company and transfer the assets (Me :D) to another company in UAE. Sell house and put all my Assets onto a Crypto Cold Wallet in (USD Tether). This would make enforcing the exit tax impossible in my opinion.
@@markwa8400 that's not going to wash. You will have a business, an accountant and a paper trial of all the money.
You are a UK citizen and whislt you could 'run away', which in effe t this is what you're suggesting. They will catch up with you.
You have residency in the uae and are at the pleasure of the government. So if the UK government want to ckme for you they have all sorts of ways to do it and they WILL get you.
I always say to people, the UK tax system has had one thousand years. Or even let's just talk modern tax, 3 hundred years of working out how people dodge tax. They are very very VERY good at getting you. You won't out smart them with some genius loop hole you just thought of.
They might not catch you tomorrow, or in 12 months. But they will eventually work their way up to you through a paper trail and the crypto ledger. At that point, none of it will have been worth it.

Crime ? Where I live in a small Midlands town, I haven't experienced or seen any for years. I know it happens in some residential areas with more social problems. But not as you describe. You've moved to a place where Summer conditions are barely survivable without air-conditioning as I understand it. How justified & sustainable is that ?
I can see that young people could do better financially and on housing moving out of the UK. But the UK still has a lot going for it . Culturally, it is a world leader. I would stay out of cities and large towns, but it has some incredible and varied places and incredible landscapes. Many places have almost no crime, where people leave their doors unlocked for years. The business environment is worse due to brexit but it is still easy to start up and without much interference, plus it is trustworthy with 30 days credit common.

Is it the weather? What changed the Brits....they were some of the most enterprising people in the world!
@@wycliffeobiero-m7p it's probabaly an inability to accept we no longer have an empire. A lot of act like we still rule the world, but in reality we are just some little island that hasn't done anything significant for 100 years.
So I think it's living off past glories and snobbery.
I blame the government for this countries ills. Every couintry has its fair share of bad weather but when you have a government that are useless, then no wonder the country is in the mess it is in.
@@davidyoung9561 Agreed, its a combination of factors
Basically the country got cocky thinking that because the empire was so big that they're untouchable. Long story short. the British are no different than everybody else. Empires rise and fall all the time in history and there was no contingency plan for after the empire crumbled. You say "they used to be enterprising" but in reality so was everybody else. Germans, the French and if we go back far enough, every ither country lol. All nations have had empires come and go. Only British think their forgotten empire makes them better than everybody else. The nation was just rich is enough to dominate others. There's nothing special about Belonging to any nation. We are all just human trying to get by. This is coming from a black Brit who can see things from the inside out and outside in.
@@dw9524 can't disagree with any of that
Fall of the British Empire, it seems..
So average people can’t leave the uk
Leave the UK is right but will not go to the Dubai🤭No people want go the muslim country/ city.
I have too much ties to the U.K. right now, probably for the next 15+ years, as I have 5+ companies and I’m a reservist in the U.K. armed forces. (25 right now)
Not one of brag, but as someone who is a multi millionaire, just going through a major company restructure to be as tax efficient as possible whilst remaining in the U.K.
@@morgan44w that's great, I'm pleased you're doing well :-)
I love to see comments like this, and it's reassuring. Like I tell people, even the happiest of countries have people who wanna move out because of one thing or another. So stay where you wanna stay, not because of what people say. Decide for yourself
@@290revolver290 yeah agreed. There's people unhappy in Switzerland, Dubai, Singapore. Wherever. People gunna people :-)
@ hence going through a company restructure 😉
Why the hell should i. Im not leaving the country i was born and raised. The only people that should leave the UK are the people that voted labour
Your loss then 😂
wow... and you are super positive hahahaha... nob
Brexit reap what you sow
cya later bro
@@MrRawrgers what would I cry about?
@@Danhunterofficial hopefully nothing, I wish you the best!
You'll be back expecting free healthcare, Dubai will give you nothing
@@WeFade2Grey as someone that claims to have a sense of humour. You seem no fun at all!
everyone? where they going north africa? lol
worrisome rise of antisemitism
lol
Looks like an advertisement for Dubai.
@@hopeless9574 I'm making the videos for people thinking abiut coming to Dubai and searching for similar topics I was when I left the UK. It's just to give people an idea of what to expect when they get here.
I love it here so in a way I guess it is an advert.
Everyone…… well I don’t know anyone who wants to leave the UK.
I’ve worked in 40+ countries including the US, most counties in the EU including Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, France, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, south America, Middle East etc. Certainly the weather can be better in some countries, and some where new while on hols is always fantastic, but living in northern EU in -20 isn’t great, trains in Germany are late, the gun crime in Sweden is apparently 300% worse than London, and it does on.
Comparing a country to a hotel with great food at cheap prices sort of seems strange.
I guess that all of the immigrants who are currently in ‘countries better than the UK according to you’, Germany, France, for example seem to want to get to the UK, and don’t suggest it’s because the UK gives greater financial support then I would suggest you look at the financial support immigrants get from other EU counties, which are better than the UK. Food, electricty, diesel, patrol and taxes are higher all over EU than the UK. Im working with folk from Belgium at the moment on 60% tax, great chocolate and beer but I’d rather pay less tax.
Everyone one’s entitled to an opinion it’s a free world, but making a comment about negativity and then saying everyone is leaving the UK, and you should too….. I think that’s negative.
@@christopherbuck7679 yeah that's fair. Why do you think they are coming to the UK instead of staying France or other countries?
The funny thing I see that you also talk about immigration
Did you ask you dad where he came from ?
@@KimKim-u6d what are you on about?
Where your parents came from my friend?
I don’t think you are English and keep Complaint about Immigration in UK
You Immigrated into Dubai
It doesn’t mean Immigrated to any country is bad
UK Economy building by Immigration
Today government pay them but tomorrow they will be big tax payers
As you see London is full of Immigrated people and Foreigner
If in case one day Dubai Arab tell you go way from Dubai do you feel ok ?
I am try to saying Immigration is not bad but the way you Complaint is wrong
Yes uk is gone no more happy country that is why I move back to Holland
One other thing
It is not all about Immigrated people to uk there are much higher Problem in this country
Bro you need be sharp once make a video
Sorry if my English is broken in fact I was in uk for 3 years
Thank you
