I'm 39 and im desperate to leave the UK for a better country. Everything discussed in this video couldn't be any more true. I'm proud to be British, but I'm ashamed at what this country has become.

I'm 50 they destroyed my home, bastards, the bastards have ruined the place I love, I hate what they've done.

I live in South Australia (I grew up in Birmingham). I visited England in late 2022 and couldn’t believe how England has deteriorated since I left in 2007.

I live in UK. Get paid 2k p/m and I'm skint after the second week. The services are shit, government corrupt. Help!!! 😢

I’m a Brit, I’ve lived overseas since 1982 in 13 countries managing hotels. I left Hong Kong after 25 years and returned last year so my teenage kids can finish their schooling. As soon as they finish school we will leave the U.K. and head to Singapore to retire. This country is a complete disaster for all the reasons you described 😢

The older generation has been really fortunate to have experienced the UK when it was thriving and you felt safe and the cost of living was not unattainable.... the younger generation will never experience that ever again... the best has already past us and the worst is still to come.

I’m 61 years old and I’m selling up and leaving this country for good. I’m moving to Almeria in southern Spain where property is affordable and the life is safe and good. Britain is finished. Crime and corruption along with millions of immigrants have destroyed the fabric of the country. Entrepreneurs are discouraged and scumbags have taken over the streets. The police have no powers, the youth have no pride or manners and the streets are dirty. That’s just scratching the surface of the problems that exist. It’s a sad time for me because I love England but it’s not for me anymore.

I Just turned 60 and looking back England was a fantastic Country to grow up in, born in London and Made in England. I planning on doing a bit of travelling around Asia and experience the culture. There is a saying - If a few good people do nothing then Evil will Prevail. The good people of Britain has allowed Evil to Prevail.

I’m 52 and this country is not the country I grew up in , it’s a vile lawless place that has happened over the last 20 years and is fundamentally different to how it was in the 70-80s and no longer a nice safe place to be as it once was

I emigrated to Croatia last year, it has a low population density and guards it's children very strongly. To see the happy snake of kids being walked to the library is a clear sign of a healthy Christian society.

Im Polish, living in the UK for 20 years now , right now I'm thinking about going to live abroad don't know where yet, Im worrying about my family safety, I loved this country never abuse the system. But the system started abusing regular people.

It's nice for those who can leave but those of us who can't afford to, it's really gonna suck!

This sort of conversation and frustration is happening everywhere in the UK. The UK is finished and I’ll be out of here within the next year 😊

Everything you guys said is true. I'm glad I watched this, I've been 50-50 as to whether to leave. I'm 100% out of here and taking my kids with me. I've got a daughter and son and fret every time they go out of the house. Why am I living like this in my own country?

I left the UK for the Czech Republic 22 years ago. Exactly for the reasons you say, here there is virtually zero crime, its safe to walk around at night (with the Rolex) without fear of getting attacked or even provoked into a confro tation. And I've watched from afar the downfall of the UK. What a shame.

Don't blame Brexit blame the corruption in government 😎👍

The crazy thing with this is that nearly everyone I come across feels the same way yet we still end up with the same people into power, It’s all a facade!

In France, civil unrest results in protests in the stongest way and politicians are afraid of upsetting the electorate. Why not in the UK ?

Have been living in UK since 2004...now I'm back in Poland. Seeing what kind of crap and rip off il Britain is.

I live as a teacher in Thailand because the kids work hard. Went back to my hood in Dagenham 4 years ago; I was the only British person there. What a shite hole. Why did my grandparents sacrifice everything for us to wreck it in 20 years?

After having lived and worked in 6 different countries, all of them in the first 15 economies in the world, I can guarantee Spain is the best of all, at all levels. Safe country, best police in the world, incredible healthcare system, great weather all year around, nice people everywhere and best food. No other country I've experienced matches that.

Motorist are a cash cow for the government

I'm 69 and I agree with you Paul, a lot of what you say i feel the same way. BUT, we need to stay here to fight for our families, so they can live in OUR Country the way we and our parents grow up in, IF we leave, there's no hope for their future here.

Me and my wife are looking to leave UK to her home country in Eastern Europe. In 10 years my council tax will be equivalent to a mortgage payment, it is unsubstantial. The illegal migrant bill is crippling our country along with crime from them.

Absolutely agree 100% on the policing in the UK. Police hiding from trouble spots in cities. I see this in Glasgow on a daily basis. A visible presence on the streets would help curb youth who are running the streets.

Im 26 and have had thoughts of leaving the UK for years now!! It gets worse every year

Nice chat guys. 100% agree with you. That comes from a Polish immigrant who come here in 2004.

The '£6 million' a day issue has now increased into an £8 million a day issue... and rising!

I love the U.K. but unfortunately we packed up and now live in Spain due to the issues your discussing and we haven’t looked back great vid

Fantastic chat fellas. My big issue with the police is that their purpose has been totally diluted if not forgotten. The police force was started as a way to stop crime, the police's role now is to wait for crimes to happen and then attempt to solve them. Bobbys on the beat was just part of the deterrent against crime, now there is no deterrent and no fear of the consequences.

I got made redundant in the UK in 2005, two days later I got a single ticket to the South of France. Best move I ever made, been back once to the UK and that was 11 years ago. Listening to your broadcast hearing how bad the UK is now made me really glad I made the move. Ok, time for a glass of wine and a celebratory croissant ☺

I'm 23 I've been trying to get an Apprentiship for the last 4 years , were trying to move for better opportunity's .I live in the midlands and can't afford many other areas , however everywhere that surrounds us is in a state of long term decay and underfunding. Its brought me close to tears at times. None of us are safe , my neighbour is from hell and can't be evicted because of lack of safeguarding and they don't even have a full tenancy yet. The councils are more happy to spend money on local privet parties then fixing the whole damn Parishes and the midlands have the worst pot holes to top that point off. I'm thinking of moving to Denmark as I rather spend more on a tax system that actually works and benefits all of us then get completely screwed and shot and then get called the perpetrator as that's how this country makes myself and I'm sure the majority of us feel. We have waited far too long to do anything about it and I'm ashamed , I see it in my streets I see it across the midlands I even see it in the south when I visit we have already given up. it's ridiculous

Me and my buddies here in Sweden are having very similar conversations. Politicians have managed to turn Sweden into a shithole country in only a decade or so 😢

Great video telling it exactly as it is. The UK is finished & has been for a long time. We’re bled dry for a lifestyle that is simply not reflected in reality.

About 16 years ago when I first fitted a dash cam I reported a dangerous driving incident.A police officer visited and the driver was prosecuted. In the last year I witnessed two much worse driving incidents with video evidence. I reported both. Acknowledgement of footage sent in and silence, nothing. I blame the politicians as the police don't even act over shoplifting unless an incident involves more than a £200 theft according to reports on LBC.

If it wasn’t for my family I’d have upped sticks years ago. I love the history of this country, it’s cultures and traditions, and some parts of it are still beautiful, but it - and we - are being erased and confined to the history books whilst the country and our way of life are deteriorating. 😢

I've just had my third friend in two years clear off to live abroad. They all had holiday homes abroad to start with to 'test the water' and all have now sold up in the UK and gone. I've learnt a lot from you over the past couple of years and I thank you for that education. Good luck with whatever you choose to do, I wish you well.

In my 50s now. Spent 20 years in London, Essex and the SE. Enjoyed my time there & did well. It was a good place. Sad to hear it’s gone downhill so much. Left in 2012 to Australia Glad we made the move. Family doing well here. 👌

If any of you brits move to asia ,just make sure you have medical insurance.My sister moved there,got unwell.Was put in a poor hospital,and died in a shithole hospital.Medivac wanted £160,000 to fly her back to a london hospital.None of us had any money.A go fund me was set up.But raised nowhere near the amount needed to save her.She would of survived if she had medical insurance.53 years old.Died last summer.I say go for it.Just make sure you have medical insurance.She lived in cambodia.Kind regards.

My son in his mid thirties is one of the last generations that remember how life was before it all went pear shaped, all the freedoms we enjoyed are being taken away but the younger generations will not no any difference they will just accept it, no resistance to the government tyranny, stand up now or be forever on your knees

Paul listening to you and your mate talking about the state of the UK is very depressing but you are totally spot on every body is feeling the same worry for their children so sad 😢

Refreshing. Two proper British gents saying it how it is, being polite about it but not holding punches. It's a damn shame how it's gone.

I’m planning on leaving the UK. England is a dumping ground, The Government is not putting the British people first…. The Government WEAK WEAK WEAK…….its time to get OUT OUT. OUT…..USE TO LOVE ENGLAND, NOW I CANT WAIT TO GET OUT

The irony is too much to bear, voted Brexit and would again but wants to move to Spain for a better life because the UK has become a clusterfuck 🤦🏻‍♂️

As a middle aged man having similar thoughts of moving abroad, it would be good to see the process , pros/cons etc. areas to consider & challenges to living away from the uk. Good luck Paul & thanks for the content up to date

BREXIT was all about the top 1% and profit.

Well said lads, this country is in a sorry state and I cant see things improving any time soon unfortunatly.

Drinking beer out of a plastic cup would make me want to leave too 😂.

I can't get my head around someone living in Spain voted for Brexit 😂

People should be marching against these council taxes.

I left in 1999. on my trips back, I love seeing my old friends, but man, life is hard there. To understand what the UK has become, just watch the ads on TV: funerals, insurance, gambling, borrowing money, addictive drugs (booze). It's all about desperation. I am not sure people over there realize how perverse these ads are in general. It is so depressing when you think about it. What do they tell us? They say life is so hard so drink yourself to death, or borrow so you can have what those others have, or just prepare to get sick and die, and of course, you can dream about winning money while losing your money to predatory betting outfits. It doesn't have to be like this. I've lived in many countries, all poorer than the UK in terms of GDP or GDP per capita, and Britain is by far the hardest place to live I've experienced. It's also evident when you go out and risk violence (That's not normal outside the UK) or your house being broken into.

Hi Paul, I moved away from London 16 years ago. I spent a year looking for where I thought would be best and decided on North-East Brazil. The weather is great all year around. Property by the beach is affordable and while the cost of living has gone up abit now it is still very affordable. Beer is about one pound twenty and 20 cigarettes is just over a pound. you can eat out here 4 people for twenty five UK pounds. The healthcare here is really good, SUS is better than the NHS and is free and if you want to go private you get 2 visits for 40 pounds. I love it and don't think I'll ever leave. I realised many years ago that with internet access you you can live anywhere nowadays as long as you are able to get a visa, that isn't always easy so I'd advise that everyone checks out they can get a long term visa before they do anything else 🤣 Good luck with your move

I have lived in Spain. Alicante/Murcia, for 35 years. When I go back to the UK, it really saddens me. It has gone downhill. Not only since Brexit, but for many years now, every year it “looks” worse. So many businesses closed down, empty shops, and the quality of those that are left are dire. Don’t think that Spain are the bees knees… it’s getting worse too, Ok by the time it gets to UK level, we’ll be long gone. You talked about council tax ok. Cheap here.. but your being done somewhere else. Cheaper than the UK? Yes, but average wages are around the 1200€ /month. And I could go on, So it’s not all rosy.

I lived most of my life abroad. I finally managed to convince my wife to move to the UK three years ago, during the Pandemic. I turn 60 next week. My wife is 15 years younger. She likes it here. I have always loved the UK, but I hadn't been back for 25 years and it is simply unrecognizable to me in almost every way. I lived in Spain before I last lived in the UK, and while it may well suit some, I can't see myself living there long term. I'm constantly torn between staying and leaving. But to where could we move and make a long-term success is the big question. We could move to Australia or New Zealand, but frankly they are headed the same way as the UK. They have also become incredibly expensive places to live. New Zealand weather is also not what it's cracked up to be. And the opportunities are much fewer. The US is a possibility, as my wife could qualify for a work visa or enter the Green Card Lottery. I've worked there in the past but wouldn't get a visa on my own now. It would probably be a relatively easy transition, but I think the US is heading in the same direction as the UK. However, if we stayed clear of the big cities and moved to a red state, we could probably avoid the worst of what's likely to come. My wife is also a German national, so we could move to the EU easily enough. She has also lived in Switzerland, so that's a possibility, too. If we had more money, we'd probably live here six months and live elsewhere six months. I also worry about my wife after I've passed away. We could move to Eastern Europe, and could probably just afford a property there. But what would we do for money to live on? Neither of us speaks an Eastern European language, and while it's relatively easy to get by if you don't need to work, learning a language to professional proficiency isn't easy. But the biggest problem is living a totally foreign culture. I've lived in non-Anglo countries. It's not like it is when you're on holiday. Some people love it. But it's not for me. I look around the world and really don't see anywhere where the other side of the street is necessarily greener. And where it may be a little greener, there are either obstacles to moving there, or it likely won't be greener for much longer. Of course, we're all different. We have different priorities and our circumstances are also different. However, my advice to anyone thinking of moving is not to sell up and move, but to try wherever it is for at least two years. You can rent your home in the UK and use the money to pay the rent wherever you go. If you decide to stay, then you can think about selling up lock, stock, and barrel. But if you decide it's not for you, you can much more easily return. I've seen many people move, who only stay because they can't afford to move back!!! Don't let that happen to you!

I hope you can find a better place. I live in California and it sounds like you're discussing many of the same issue we have here. Civilization is almost universally dead world wide.

You’re right about the intentions of voting for Brexit, Paul. I’m an expat and have been living and working in the Middle East for years now. What amuses/frustrates me about immigration is my wife is Middle Eastern and we are not welcome back as a married couple. We’ll probably end up in Canada eventually. I still pay tax on my UK income, I’m a HM Forces veteran of 24 years, but get treated like shit by UK plc.

We went out to Colombia five years ago, not to run away, but to look after my wife's parents. But watching these videos - this one and countless others - l feel such relief we made the move. Our standard of life over here is much better than it was back home. I don't say this with any glee or relish because l am a patriotic Brit, as are these two guys.

I'm 38, scouse and I live in the south of France. Been here for 15 years. Just go for it. You won't regret it. Hesitation is for wuffters.

Great conversation and totally agree with all your comments about this country (there are a lot of other things we could discuss but not in public)good luck on whatever decision you make and I sincerely mean that.❤

Complain about migration. Vote for Brexit. Move to Spain. Raise the property prices so locals are priced out of the market. Take advantage of a health system you didn't pay for. What a hypocrite.

I’m too ill to leave the uk but if I was younger or even a healthy 66 year old I would leave the uk completely! I grew up in a poor part of the midlands in the 60s but life even then was decent and there was a lot of community and respect..it breaks my heart to see how bad things have become here over the last 20 years.. I feel so sorry for the young people trying to manage their lives these days..it’s heartbreaking

I want to leave this hellhole. The UK now sickens me.

I don't understand the logic behind voting for Brexit and seeking help from the EU.

The word GREAT in Britain no longer applies unfortunately any more rip off Britain is more commonly used these days which is very sad 😢. Good luck paul don’t blame you thinking this way and hope your father in law gets the treatment that any British citizen deserves.

I'm 80 years old and I am woried what will happen to my sons when I pass on.

Dont leave! Vote REFORM UK 🇬🇧

I left the UK 35 years ago to live in Perth . Western Australia. The more l see what has happened to my beloved homeland....the more l thank my lucky stars that l made the best decision of my life.

Love these tabletop around a beer chats. Absolutely agree, but where to go? Brits love Espania, but man, it’s a desert. Costa Rica? …. there is no where to run. It’s up to us to stand up against these mostly unelected bureaucrats. It’s time we had the courage to chain the system & break the Establishment.

Please don’t leave stay and fight for your country.

Highly taxed in a soon to become 3rd world country politicians should and will pay the ultimate price for their traitorous actions that have put the indigenous people in peril

Sadly Brexit was always going to be a shambles. Most people don’t understand politics, the Dublin Agreement stopped the boats, because we could send them back. The rest 100% agree, i’d be out the UK tomorrow if i could.

Paul interesting perspective. Your immigration policies were always within your own control to manage but for years Tory and Labour governments scapegoated the EU for everything they didn’t want to take responsibility for, instead of showing some balls. From outside , that vote seems like the greatest own goal ever scored 😂 From an Irish perspective, all I can say is we are greatly diminished by not having the UK driving the heart of Europe , as you did. Wish you and your family all the best of luck Paul .

You guys are making a lot of sense to me. We have let the nation slip year by year over many decades, God help us if we have to fight a war here.

For your own sanity be careful with all the negativity, not criticising you in anyway shape or form But after working as a carer for years , with elderly, mentally ill, terminally ill, I found it was at times making me feel depressed, although I absolutely loved my job , Just mind you don’t loose your personality humour and love for life and your family ❤️

It's nice to know that all those EU regulations that were imposed on the uk and made life so unbearable, don't apply to Spain.

Voting for Brexit and wanted to go and live in Europe that’s clever

What a refreshing thing it is to listen to two men expressing all the things I’m thinking. Great stuff.

I am in my mid 60's and like a lot of similar people of the same age you come ro realise that a lot of respect that people had has all but disappeared from society. The politicians ftom both parties have let us down and they do not represent the values that made them stand out. People are fed up with government institutions apologising for the incompetence of leaders that should not be in the job . Then there is all the stealth taxes we have to pay and it goes on and on. I feel for the young people at least we enjoyed a time when we had more freedom. Unfortunately young people today do not realise the freedom we enjoyed as they have been brainwashed by the media and society as a whole.

Big love to you guys. I feel this pain also, so sad what is happening here. I think this country is finished - or at least well on the way to it. My parents live in Spain and seriously considering it also.

It doesn't matter where you move. Things change and not always for the better. Look at the USA. Would you ever believe it would be in its current state?

came to the UK in 2006... how this great country deteriorated since is unbelievable!

That's the trouble, people keep leaving. Stand your ground and vote sensibly. All this shit could of been dealt with by voting right, BNP, UKIP etc.

You very kindly came on our channel when you first started and your audience and reach has exploded. You offer very sound advice and we 'watch' you regularly (get the pun 😉). Your comments about the UK are valid and there does need to be considerable change otherwise the deterioration will continue. Good luck in whatever you decide and potentially covering other areas for your channel could work well and as you say show another side to you.

Brexit voter complaining about the outcome of Brexit.... this country is an embarrassment

I have emigrated to the UK (London ) from Portugal , been here for 7 years, for better financial opportunities, I love being here and love the country that saw my kids born ( got 2 very young kids) but I’m starting to feel very saddened and frustrated with what I’m seeing right now ( inflated prices, everything taxed to the bone, rent is bonkers and see no fixing unfortunately) don’t get me wrong I do manage to have a decent life but this is not the same country since I came in back in 2017.

I read on the side of a bus a few years ago that the NHS was going to get GBP 350 million per week after Brexit. Listening to you talk, is it safe to say it didn't happen? How disappointing. And surprising.

Been out of the UK for 15 years coming back only for 1 month each year .. love the uk .. love coming bac k to uk but every time i come back the attitude continues to get more pc , woke on one end and low grade on the other .. not too mention the amount of non uk nationals there now .. every time i go down the seafront the amount of non uk languages and voices is truly eye opening .. I can’t be a hypocrite as i live in another country though i work every day earning my living and paying for myself every step of the way while respecting the local cultures .. is clear same can’t be said in uk for a good majority .. everywhere has its plus and minus but uk is broken , never coming back and it is genuinely sad to see

i used to live in Spain, not any more. Since Brexit its not the same. If I were you, I would go to SE Asia. Thailand, Phillipines, Vietnam, Cambodia. Much, much better quality of life than Spain for a fraction of the price. Thailand health care is 100 times better than UK.

I am Asian and these guys talk a lot of sense. The enemy are the ruling elite not the people.

Totally agree with you Paul the UK is going down the tubes

Absolutely great chat chap's, I enjoyed every minute of it. And I've come to the same conclusion.

Censorship 😷 need we say more to the current state of the affairs. FREEEDOM

I am 33, couldn’t agree more, the uk is at a point of no return, me and my wife will be hopefully leaving the uk for good in the next few years heading for Romania (my wife is Romanian, I am English).

Paul come to the 🇺🇸 we would love you here! I’m from Houston Tx so it’s hot out here but nothing you can’t handle! The states are ready for you mate!

Before I started working I said I'd never retire in the uk. I wasn't prepared to spend the rest of my life staring out of the window looking at the pissy rain.... As life moved on I considered the peninsula to retire but its too hot in summer and too cold in winter. The south of spain dies in winter and tbh the costa del crime image really doesn't appeal Overall it wasn't the right move for me So i cast the net wider to the Canaries. 7 years ago an opportunity to buy a company in Tenerife arose , so sold my business, rented my house,bought a property in Tenerife and bought the company here. 3 months start to finish done and dusted . 🎉 I had one good reason to move but i couldn't find an excuse not to. If you want to do it then you get it done.whatever it takes If you put it off by finding excuses not to, then you'll never do it. exactly as Dan said. So many talk the talk but never quite have the balls, so sit in the uk moaning about their lot.

my praise goes to the everyday tax paying brit, many who are willing to stand and fight the bullshit to help save such an amazing and beautiful country

Trouble is where do you go? You find that you go somewhere else and you exchange one set of problems for another set and sometimes it's better to deal with the devil you know rather than the unknown one. You go there and then discover that it's not better than where you were. So why run?

Talking about potholes! I live in the Hampshire, Surrey commuter belt (fleet/Basingstoke) I’ve had about 6 tires in the last 2 years from potholes. Had to have wheels repaired, reconditioned. And I’m still paying over the odds on council tax and road tax despite the fact our local police station has shut down!

Great to see you with Danny who always talks sense. It might just be that I'm older but no doubt that the UK is not the place it once was, soft on crime, people fearful of walking the streets at night, a woke culture that has gotten totally out of hand and if you speak out you risk getting cancelled. I don't blame anyone who would think about a move but it's never easy leaving behind everything you've ever known but you're spot on about weighing up what's best for your family overall. I wouldn't want to raise kids in the UK anymore 😥😥

Hello Paul. I just subscribed. I left the UK in 1998 and would never go back. Got a lovely wife, two boys in private school, a successful business and 3 properties. I would never have been able to do all that in the UK. Best off out of it mate. Good luck to ya. From a fellow southerner.
