    Where can i go to get out of the UK

    I've lived in the UK my entire life and for the most part have been proud of the UK as a country.

    However the last few years I've grown tired of the Tory party and the inward backward facing nature. It feels mired in red tape, tedious backward thinking policies and constant lies by a party that could care less about the middle and working classes.

    With that in mind for the first time in my life I want to get out of the UK and use my skills and experience in a country more progressive.

    Any Ideas, has anyone contracted abroad. I work with a lot of Europeans and love what they bring to the companies I've worked in.

      Good luck on your mission, If I wasn't such a old Tory inward set in his ways bastard, New Zealand (North Island) would probably be my choice.

        You're not the first that I've heard looking for the exit.

        The leavers pretend the country is united post election. Truth is it remains sorely divided, with years of recovery ahead before any possibility of economic prosperity.

        Life is short, why be part of the Whateverspoons homemade depression?

                A recent poll put Remain at 52% despite all the apparent glory of the Tory Bulltulip/Lying/Self Delusion election result. People voted for the Buffoon presumably because (for some reason) they found Corbyn even worse but don't assume the UK wants Brexit and don't assume it will slip through. By the latter part of this year the mounting damage to the country, coupled to the frightening prospect of No Deal, will create a big backlash. The Brexiteers will be forced to pull their heads out of the sand.

                  I'm thinking of leaving but not because of Brexit. Just fecking sick of the miserable weather in this country. Don't know about other parts of the country but this winter, down here in the Southwest, has been the wettest and windiest I can remember. Utterly depressing.

                  Canaries would be my choice. Don't think it's much good for IT contracting though.

                    And it's bound to fall a lot further after Dec 31st as most visa free regimes were agreed on EU basis.
