Are you thinking of emigrating from the UK? Or are you already living overseas? What has been the main reason behind your decision to move abroad? Send us your comments and experiences.

Go tell em.

Yes - tell the BBC that the reason for emigrating is having to pay their expensive television poll tax (known as the Television licence) to foot the bill for salaries for their 27, 000 Guardian-reading staff who produce a largely abysmal schedule of programmes (including news programmes biased in favour of the EU - thus breaching the BBC Charter and broadcasting rules).

Great country and Great people, only to be let down by a government and nanny state
that has made them second class citizens in their own country no wonder
they are leaving,
I hope to be one of them soon!

I have recently lived abroad for 2 years and on returning to the UK both my partner and myself have decided to emigrate as soon as possible.

What is there left for a decent hard working family in this country?

Higher taxes (that amount to legalised theft) to pay for the growing benefit queue, outsourcing of jobs to places like India, ridiculous house prices, rising crime and reduced sentences for serious convicted criminals, growing tensions between immigrants and native Britons, a government in turmoil with no leadership or direction, the list goes on and on.

Britain was once a great place to live and a home for an honest hard working family.

Unfortunately it is not anymore.

We are emigrating to Australia (South Australia) in October this year. Although we have been a rollacoster of emotions through the immigration process we have decided to go the main reasons are, quality of life, job prospects for ourselves and children, UK is getting increasingly expensive to live in, NHS has lost its direction. Political policies influenced to mcuh by the USA. Also the policy for incoming immigrants to this country seems to favour these people and not its own indigenious people and we are too worried if we offend them.

We love being English/British.We have expored and travelled extensivelly throughout the world and there is nowhere as nice as our country. This is the result of our culture, traditions, peoples attitudue to each other, the freedoms that we have to live the way we want to providing we do no harm to others. Most people are friendly and help others.
Over the last7/8 years this has been eroded by new laws telling us how to live, massive immigration and encouragement by Government not to assimilate, deterioration of our public services and untruthful, incompetant government. We live in a village ten miles outside a major city- not affected yet.Understand City residents who want to leave.

I read this and what do I feel?

Anger. Anger because all of these people seem to indicate that UKIP was bang on the money, spot on, in the zone with almost all of it's priorities.

Yet the sheeple still vote for the troika. It makes me sick.

ChrisB · 04-08-2006, 08:07 AM

No wonder we're in the state we are if everyone who agrees with UKIP leaves the country. Stay and fight, you cowards!

eublues · 04-08-2006, 08:46 AM

Yes, there are pages and pages of letters from people angry people about what has happened and continues to happen with the UK.

Somehow UKIP has to connect with these people.

Colin McNamee · 04-08-2006, 09:20 AM

Along with UKIP the issue of UK emigration has to be one of the most under reported news items by the media.

3 years ago on holiday in France we met socially a Dutch estate agent, living in France, dealing with enquiries from people outside France wanting to relocate. By far and away the majority of her customers were English, mainly from cities and Home Counties, followed by the Dutch.

ALL were looking to get away from lawlessnes (drugs in Amsterdam) and safer environment to bring up young families and too improve their quality of life.

Over the following three years there has been a small amount in the UK press and, I think, it was reported last year that the largest number had emigrated from the UK that year and, if my memory serves me well, they were white working/middle class emigrants.

Blair and Prescott appear to be achieving their objective.

StGeorge · 04-08-2006, 04:54 PM

Maybe the policy of native Britons who emmigrate to be replaced by foreigners will only make the emmigration numbers rise exponentially. UKIP need to change this, get those lazy kids of the streets and give them jobs with decent wages, a life to look forward to, instead of offering them the same wage as Polish guy to do a job with at that wage is not worth getting out of bed for.

Immigration and being treated like 2nd class citizens in their own country seem to be echoed all over them pages. Do you sod the liberals and say what everyone's thinking even if they brand you racists or do UKIP continue as they are sitting on the fence on anything to do with immigrants and immigration.

You've seen the Sky News report, 60% of people agree with the BNP's immigration policy, this dropping when they were told it was a BNP policy. Would UKIP with less baggage get away with such a policy or would UKIP end up with the same image because the establishment see fit to ensure this happens?

UKIP needs to do something to capture the electorates imagination, 2004 saw the EU expansion, talk about the euro replacing the pound, look at your successes in that year.

Times have changed now, we've got a corrupt home office, more and more respectable people making Enoch Powell like prophecies. The Conservative Party is pinker than ever, Labour are finished and the Liberals are useless (there's only so many dog muck leaflets you can win votes from).

IMO if you try and please the establishment, things won't change.

ITs going to get worse.Wait till Romania and Bulgaria get in the EU.

What do UKIP say about that?

andypandy · 04-08-2006, 09:30 PM

What will UKIP say? We are not racist, but damn those east Europeans!

mkpdavies · 05-08-2006, 08:42 AM

They would say what they always have done. That this country hasn't got the capacity for mass immigration and would question if dropping huge amounts of people from different ways of life is a good idea, even if it did.

It has nothing to do with the immigrants themselves, in the main they just want to make a better life for themselves.
