- ‘They are treated so badly here in terms of really high tax rates and housing costs. They are looking at the other side and saying things are more attractive there.’
Co-founder of Intergenerational Foundation, Angus Hanton, says young Britons are ‘voting with their feet’ by choosing to to leave England for better lifestyle and pay abroad.

1988 i left the Royal Marines and applied to move to Australia. I got accepted for PR and joined the AUS Army. My old man when i was leaving just looked at me and said 'off you go son as this country is going to the dogs'. Bless the old man as he was always right.... the UK has become a toilet.
Last one turn the light off before you leave :-)
Hi, this may be random but did you enjoy your time at the Royal Marines and what would your advice be for a young man in his teens that is interested in this field? Thanks!
Left the UK with the family in 1981 for Western Australia We have never looked back, we all have had rewarding lives. My wife and i returned for a holiday in 2019 and yes, the place was a hole full of rubbish and graffiti.
Can't blame anyone for leaving. Country has gone thanks to our government
When housing in Australia was cheap.
a very sad moment indeed.
Its simple this country is too busy looking after the world rather than worry about what is going on with our own.
Absolutely Agree 👏👏👏👏👏 its a Bloody DISGRACE 🤬
Seeing as this country stole and looted it from the world in the first place, don't you think they are simply repaying it back 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How true british people are at the bottom,as you say rest of world
Comes first.
@@IbrahimMohamed-kw7viit's funny how the uk is always singled out for this. Are you aware how many nations have done this in the past?
@@bewarethegwen don't make a difference britain owes migrants because all they money little britain has is from those stolen countries wealth, you gotta pay it back bruv 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't blame them. Wish them well. Telling my son to consider doing the same thing when he is older. Let's face it, drastic change is needed in multiple ways. This country is a shambles.
And thats why this country is in shambles, spineless people not staying to fight, every man for himself is the problem. That's not how nations are built or sustained.
@@WhoDaresWinso7 lol yeah people leaving for a better life are to blame. Forgot it was them and not the government that wasted billions during covid due to fraud, test and trace failing aswell as the covid masks that didn't work. Or that wage stagnation and inflation was their fault too not the government's. Get a grip.
Most are going to EU
My niece is in Western Australia.
Godson is in Bermuda.

I walked by a homeless dude this morning, huddled up freezing in a doorway. Probably paid taxes in this country for years. Where’s his 4-star accommodation?
And the other 33,000 like him.
What has that got to do with the topic being discussed?
@@onmytravells9429 Our poor living conditions are being dramatically exacerbated by thousands of undocumented economic migrants melting away into the general population.
@@FaxanaduJohn we haven't had a pay rise in real terms since 2010, literally nothing to do with the migrants from the last few years
@@onmytravells9429 No you’re right, the undocumented migration of hundreds of thousands of people has no impact whatsoever on the standard of living of a given nation.
This country has truly gone down the toilet. It's not worth the struggle anymore.
My wife is a dental nurse, im a firefighter, we are leaving next year, all planed. Jobs lined up we both in our 30s. I have 2 little girls, got to get them out of uk. Its dangerous and all the male fighting age men from a culture that has no respect or care for our ways. This will end bad. If your young enough get out of Britain its over.
Why you scared of people like me mate 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yea I’m looking at moving my family and my business abroad, I want to be with my own kind, also I’m not religious and sick of seeing it
@J So you're basically racist and want to be around other racists. The deep south in America would be a great place for you. I'm sure they're still lynching dark skinned folk out there, nice little hobby for you.
where have you chosen to go, im thinking to of leaving…
where did you go?
The UK is heading for rapid decline. Massively overpriced housing, declining public services, high taxes and decades of low skilled mass migration have destroyed the futures for young people so they’ll look elsewhere and be welcomed with open arms. As populations around the world now head for stagnation and population decline with low birth rates across most of the world, there are amazing opportunities for young people to leave and have much better standards of living and competition will rise among countries to attract the educated young. House prices will significantly fall in the UK over the medium to long term as the country struggles to retain young people and can’t attract educated immigrants and the economy implodes similar to Japan in the 90’s to today. Their booming stock and housing market crashed and never recovered, the population is now declining by 600,000 a year and more old age nappies are sold than baby ones. High house prices and taxes are heavily linked to steep declines in the population as people have fewer and fewer children.
All due to having the worst politicians in our history.
Every law they pass just makes the country worse.
With all due respect the news report was referring to immigrant doctors that came to the Uk because of the high payment. Those young EUROPEAN doctors will go somewhere else in EUROPE. Young British people will not be received with open arms since they're not Europeans.
The biggest problem is overpopulation of se England and too generous social programs at the same time too many uneducated immigrants .
It is in palliative care, its gone beyond heading for rapid decline. We are living through its dying days
Facts, I think a major factor accelerating Britain’s decline is London’s failure to get its economic output levels back to what they were before the financial crisis
I had an opportunity to leave 30 years ago and didn't take it . I now regret that descion. This country does not reward honest working class people who strive to better themselves but rather devalue them with their stagnant policies.
I left the uk over 30 yrs ago , back in 88. I just turned 22, so glad I left.
Brexit was a great idea
So much for "social mobilty" which the Cons claim to support.
@@run2cat4run nothing to do with brexit fgs all western Hegemonic countries are falling like ten pins financially and politically fgs. Watch alternative media for the real world news.

The intolerance,the sinister rewriting of our history and condemnation of our common culture is getting so oppressive it is just easier to leave.

Well said Steph foxwell
I’ve already told my daughters best to look further afield.
Yes, exactly. It isn't just a financial issue. The destruction of our country and its traditions is utterly depressing- and frightening.

Would love to join them. Sadly I’m at that awkward inbetween spot where I’m skilled but not highly skilled, so getting a work visa is pretty much impossible.
It’s annoying as I regularly see jobs in my sector advertised in the US, Oz etc offering almost double the pay I earn here.
We all want to leave because this is an administration of taxation without representation. The government left the UK long ago.

Why rent a pokey draughty room in a crappy Victorian house for half your salary in Cambridge, when you can rent a nice modern apartment for the same amount in Canada/Australia?
Or hong kong
Anywhere in Europe is superior, especially if you can become a digital nomad.
In London one woman was renting a converted garage with no windows for £600 per month.....ten years ago.
Last year I struggled to find anywhere to rent for under £800 per month in my home town some 100 miles away from London on the South Coast. Where my family are FROM and still live. Said flat had no insulation, was boiling hot in summer (40 degrees) and freezing in autumn.
Renting is brutal and impoverishing millions to the benefit of a few super rich landlords.

They are leaving because this country as we knew it / know it is doomed. We are rapidly moving to a point where in less than 20 years the indigenous population will be the minority. Those arriving will turn this once wonderful country into the same mess as the countries they are ‘escaping’ from.
So they will be immigrants in other countries and you are giving out about immigrants in the uk🤦♂️
I doubt it mate
Spot on, and if Labour get in to power next, it will happen quicker. God help us.
This country was wonderful in the past because we lived of the wealth created by other countries. We’ve reached the end of that road. The natives are too lazy to work. Too many of them are lazy and living off benefits. The chickens are coming home to roost.
You do realise that it's immigrants who do the jobs Britsh people don't want to do. And considering how many English people claim benefits immigrants leaving isn't what the majority of you should want. If they aren't around to work and pay taxes there's no benefits for you to claim so you can sit home all day watching Jeremy Kyle.
And don't forget the constantly rising pension age designed for us to pay in but not live long enough to spend it, youngsters today won't draw on pensions until they're about 120yrs old at this rate.
All the government think about is numbers (money) and how to waste or steal more, more, more.
Even in your 40's I can recommend emigrating to Australia, Canada or the USA, all of which are better life-styles and less depressing than the UK has become, the politicians have completely fucked it up for the whole country, Tory and Labour.
I'm leaving later this year (just after my 24th birthday).
I was offered tenure teaching at a highly accredited school in Breckenridge, Colorado.
A big change from pulling pints in a pub in London (which is all I could get since graduating Uni).
Exactly as I have observed from the outside. The Republicans and Democrats have done the same thing to my homeland of USA.
@@TenFalconsMusic I wish you every success, enjoy your new country.
USA and Canada better?? Hmmm not so sure about that. Mass homelessness and drug problems. California is a complete dump now. These places are good if you have a job earning a seriously high salary.
@@TenFalconsMusic Good on ya pal! This country has consistently let down younger people and milked them for every penny. In the past ten years I've met an Astrophysicist with a First Class Hons degree who works valuing gold in a shop. I've met another chap who pulls pints in two pubs to make ends meet, who has both a Bsc and a Masters Degree, but can't get the job he wants in his field. Then there's the dozens of others who I've worked with in warehouses and paper mills over the years who all have good qualifications but stayed here.
You do right to leave. Good luck!
If they leave it's common sense the country is going down the pan.
Yes they can see what's happening to UK 🇬🇧
I have lived in Australia for the last seventeen years , I am a bricklayer and whilst in England I was given no respect and thought as the button rung of the ladder. I speak three languages and have qualifications in many subjects. My Wife is a social worker again in England no respect for her professional degree just blamed for foreign people killing their own babies. Here our professions are respected paid well very well indeed plus our standard of living is a hundred time that of what we both experienced in the UK . The UK has for years robbed it own people, so it politician can give millions to foreigners that hate us . If you stop the politicians giving you money straight to Africa France, Albania ad infinitum et cetera You could have a much better standard of living.

@@timandjacquinicklin9596 I beg to differ. There was forced jabs and no jab no job. I think most people are very aware of that.
@@timandjacquinicklin9596 Rubbish, It was a case of get a jab or no job.
Have the Aussie nurses who got sacked for not having the jab been reinstated yet ?
It is like we have developed a system that is as socially disruptive as possible.
Skilled people are pulled in from poorer countries. Nurses are pulled in from Asia and Africa. We save on training costs, but these countries struggle to replace their trained staff. This helps the UK push British working class wages down to meet the minimum wage. Then our people higher up the economic tree, such as doctors, leave for places with better conditions.
Everybody loses.
The Narcissists in charge are hooked on their Ponzi scheme which will Smeg up the country
Worse than that they arnt skilled. They clai. To be...

Taxes going up and up and living standards going down. Easy decision.
Here you'll slave for a mortgage, sacrifice living near close friends and family to do so, only to need to work and pay someone else to care for your young children whislt you work to live so that when you retire, you can down sell and use that money to live on, help your kids with their own mortgages. Just to live this is too much.
But then when the parents pass away, the government would suck out the wealth by imposing inheritance tax.

Young people's lives are at risk now, the country is full of aggressive foreigners, the face of their country is changing, all the places they would frequent have closed down, working pay and conditions are very poor, and debt has spirraled out of control. It is no wonder they are leaving.

The more a Government does, the worse it makes the situation. Government need to stop interfering in the market, stop giving away millions to "Corporate Welfare" and then making it seem as if they are coming down on multibillion Corporations with tax rises, when the tax rises hit the small and medium sized businesses. STAY OUT OF THINGS!
But the people demand it!
They expect government to resolve all their problems from cradle to grave.
And politicians, knowing full well they can't resolve many of those problems, promise to do so as long as you vote them in and give them more taxes and power!

I'm an engineer in my late twenties... and I'm looking to move abroad. Wages for young engineers is terrible in the UK.
It's not just wages, but housing, severe moral decline, demonisation of traditional and family values, mismanagement, and incompetent government, stupid ULEZ and LTN schemes...seriously, what is wrong with this country?
I am 73 years old and still work full time. I have never seen such poor treatment of the workforce by employers. They purport flexibility, well-being for the workforce, inclusion etc so that they can tick the boxes but in reality? None of that is real. Real pay is less now than it was 20 years ago for most (regardless of what the BBC reports). The profits go on manager’s bonuses and share holder’s dividends. There is a great inequity within many businesses. I don’t blame our young people looking for work elsewhere.
There is a glitch in the matrix: so young people, who as we've seen in a recent poll are very left leaning, leave the UK because of high taxes but the policies they stand for demand heavy taxation (net zero, « open door migration, "equality" programs, reparations, (re)nationalization of certain industries, etc, etc...
Good observation.
They do the same thing in the US. They vote for the policies that tax them out of any ability to make a living, find any housing if they're not rich, and trash their cities with crime, homelessness & filth. Like California is a sewer. They move to states like Colorado, & ruin it too. It's a mess bc it's blue now, run by democrats. Every city or state that's blue is a disaster but they never learn. Now they're flooding to Texas & Florida that are run by conservatives- & doing the same stupid thing. They should be barred from voting until they've had a class in common sense.

British born leaving, immigrants pouring in from all over. I can imagine some are terrified about the demographic shift.
I have been wondering about this myself. It's so depressing here now after two years of dystopian lockdowns that most people thought were totally fine, lots of small businesses closed, rent and bills have increased a lot. Long depressing winters, and what feels like a constant fight for resources from green veg in the supermarket to allotments to water butts which still are selling out fast due to stupid hosepipe bans. My previously small working class city is now overcrowded and doesn't feel at all the same place, I want to live somewhere peaceful and quiet not overcrowded like its become here. Its hard to feel positive about anything anymore. I'm not sure whether I'd still feel depressed abroad or whether it's the location and politics that's getting me down.
Feel the same 😢

illegal immigration to a point at which this nation can no longer cope with all
the problems associated with large scale immigration! Schools are turning out

issues to our society, increasing violent crime, racial & religious divisions within
communities, high unemployment, high tax, expensive accommodation/housing
& food and basic utility services, all rounded off with a not fit for purpose

in a more stable, better paid, better climate country? We no longer have a
government.... democracy is being slowly diluted with our politicians just waiting
for the globalist reset which means they can then ignore democracy altogether!
GB is seriously broken and most politicians only care about their healthy incomes
& pensions....the people don't seem to matter to them!
Most people don’t realise, but Great Britain in 2023 really ain’t that great.
Just to point out I lived in Australia lovey country but has its own problems just like the uk does so please don’t be under any illusion it’s Eden.
The pay is more over there but that’s reflected in the high cost of living
We should be open to take some english over here in the Netherlands. Our country is one of the richest
Not for long the rot will set in all over the continent don’t think uk is unique
Many pensioners live in high value houses,but they bought them
Years ago when working now they have to live on low pensions
It's a case of property rich but cash poor. This often shows up
When their property's come on the market & require thousands
Spent on them to update to modern standards
Sorry for laughing at you.
I am 30, I moved to Moscow, Russia in search of a better way of life, I found it, plenty of work, a good work life balance and lower tax, the main thing is it's a fundamentally wholesome society, it's still "Normal" here societally.
It seems that it's a society rising and on the way up, not one in which I am thinking that it's going to the dogs, it's going places, glad to be here - No intention of returning to the UK, ever.
When did you move and what do you do?
@@cb8608 I moved just over a year ago now, I've been teaching English for the last 6 years, so I took a look at some international schools and Native English teachers seemed to be in high demand in Russia, sent my CV off to a few schools.
Got my invitation and visa issued through one of the schools, packed my bags and left.
Now and again I pop back to the UK over Christmas to see the family because there is no chance in hell they're coming over and that's about it really.
@@jimmyl7511 interesting.
I went to Russia back in 2019 and honestly I had a great time. I liked the culture and had good experience with Russian women. I knew a bit of Russian too so that helped.
I honestly would consider the move at some point but with the current circumstances and many foreign companies pulling out, seems difficult
@@cb8608 It depends on what you're doing for a living for the most part and if there is a demand here for it, I can say that there is certainly a demand for English teachers, all I have to do is open my mouth in a local Sauna and someone wants to buy a course, so it's definitely a good time to be an English Teacher here.
There are different routes to take, so a lot of it is finding one that just gets your foot in the door really, whether it be as a HQS (Highly qualified specialist) or just standard working visa, might be worth checking the trades and quota on the HQS though.
There is of course the invitation route on a standard visa, only lasts 90 days I think.
Then there is the Entrepreneurial visa, though I am not too clued up on it.
My advice is to anyone who does want to come is to mention that bear in mind wages working for companies on standard visas are Lower, cost of living is lower too, the good money is in self employed activities.
So to earn good money here I recommend advertising your services on apps like Profi or Social Media, word of mouth etc.
Have a clear exit plan from the visa, immigration laws can change as I well know and have experienced. I think in two years of living here on a work visa you can go for a temporary residence permit, if you get married and have a child to a Russian lady, (which is what I did) then permanent residence, not much hassle is then attainable.
The Economies of each are split off from each other completely, you can move money between each using crypto, but expect exorbitant fees!
I hope this helps!
@@jimmyl7511 Interesting information. Appreciate it.
I left in July this year and absolutely loving my new life in Mediterranean.
Leaving in 18 weeks, can't wait
Me too. 😁👍
Leaving later this year.
where to?
The U.K can be a very depressing country to live in.
I left England in 1979 and would never Go Back
You have totally destroyed England with the
Brixit 🦧
UK has too many immigrants,,the cities are overcrowded polluted too many receiving benefits compared to those contributing, corruption in gvt is depressing, noticeably the evil effect of Russian money in London.
At 21 I am considering once studies are done then moving out of the UK and having also a Polish passport is quite good for considering Europe as its just a mere formality for say Italy or France.
Unlike the rest who cannot afford a mortgage with their wages as savings are easy if you live with your parents.
I think my children could get a Polish passport as that's where my Father in Law came from. A bonus is Poland doesn't want a certain group amassing within
@@Isochest one not true they brought in too many immigrats two military service could become a requirement but a dual citizenship is exempt if I am right but the gov changes too much its not very stable.
@@Isochestyet* but it will come .
Thankfully I left 10 years ago, after two years of Conservative "rule". Never been back, and really dodged a bullet. My life is way better than. it was in the UK, with its high housing costs, poor public services, class system, and rotten politicos and media.
The grass is always greener on the other side. It was way too greener when we migrated to UK. Time to leave the UK and finally start breathing.
IR35 fucked my business and the engineering industry. Been unemployed ever since, will be leaving soon.
Id leave too if i was younger. Hear albania is a nice empty place
I'm looking at Paraguay, Colombia, Vietnam or Thailand.
The UK is finished. Once my businesses are properly up and running I'm off.
Asia is a dream home for retirement. Even the Philippines. Buy a huge house. Rent if off. Live off the rentals. Buy a business to and run it.
Growth countries
millions legal working migrants left U.K. since Brexit and covid.
Millions left job applying for benefits
Millions still living in benefits
Millions people left the job because of mental health and physical health issues and applying for benefits.
Millions young brits leaving U.K. looking for opportunities abroad better lifestyle and living.
Thousands big and small businesses closed, if you visit towns and cities you can see shops and restaurants hotels and other businesses closed.
Similar to Japan and other developed rich countries abandoned towns and commercial areas.
the youth are helping the government and opposition implement high tax policies with huge support , illegal mass immigration , net zero , among other left wing high policies
It's happening already. TH-cam Basingstoke, it's now essentially a dead town. All big business has left and the once bustling business park is a ghost town.
Not just youngster,s pensioner,s are treated with comtempt
Declining standards of living, declining morality, declining institutions and a totally broken political system… this country is now pathetic, which is heartbreaking.
"Are young Britons leaving en masse because of England's POOR living conditions? "
Simple answer:- YES !! and I don't blame them !
House prices and rents in Australia and Canada are ferocious. You'll need a massive salary to afford to live there.
I left and now live in the Caribbean. Much better standard of living. From Edinburgh originally, such a beautiful city, however, the cost of living is so high, you have to earn minimum £50k a year to have a good life probably more to be honest. I'm very grateful that I have the skills to live abroad and not stuck in the UK without options!!!
where in the Caribbean? St Kitts?
Saba, used to live in the Cayman Islands but that place is now too expensive to live, makes UK seem cheap.
No because we’ve been invaded
Always blaming the immigrants? Do you know how economics work?
I've heard Albania is lovely.
Well the housing will be very cheap since a loss in like a third of there population
Yea as much as a nail in the foot
at our digs in australia we have a french guy who moved here because france has ' gone to shit '
And I'm not leaving France to go back to the UK for the same reason. Seems even the sh*t in France is of better quality.
@@PhilJonesIII I fully concur
I support as many young talented Brits to leave while they can. Your life will be 100% better abroad. 🙏🙏
Middle class Australians are leaving Australia too. We can live like kings in Bali for $20/day and no tax. Why would we stay? If your a GP DR in Australia your income is over $2 million a year now.
This is true. Asia offers much better quality of life. Cheaper food and rent and house. Much better quality of food too.
I would be gone if my kids were not here. The UK is shocking.
It’s happened...we’ve just taken our 4 companies to Dubai following Hunts business tax rises
News flash mortgages are going up across the world. Its not just the UK with high inflation etc etc. All those countries that locked down will be in the same boat. Owning a house doesnt make you rich if you are a pensioner. Its value can only be realised if you sell it and then you would have no where to live!
You’ve nailed it. Inflation is EVERYWHERE
Yes but how about services such as NHS schooling etc? They have gone downhill
We have the worse pensionin Europe how dare they blame pensioners they have always worked hard Sunak giving people not to work in Pandemic
Truth is the cost of living everywhere else that is decent is also horrendous.
I don't blame them. When you take into account student loans, 40% of their income is going in taxes. They you take into account house prices and bills. How can anyone afford to get on?
