          Avoid DPRK and Saudi Arabia. Too full of Brexiteer-types.

            Where? I brexited years before you lot even thought of voting for it based on ill-founded arguments.

            Anyway, why would anyone be tired of dear old blighty. It's a lovely place to visit - cheap as chips, with decent chips. And good beer. What's not to like?

                Same for my wife, she literally is making less than she was 10 years ago. Barely minimum wage as a lecturer at a big name school. Even worse, she is on a 3 day week and they give her so much work (and she actually cares about her work) that she works at least one extra day a week for free. It's disgusting.

                    Nothing against Brexiter

                    The only thing I can't abide by with Brexiters is their reasoning for wanting to leave a powerful trading block. They very rarely have an answer, if you have a conviction be brave and speak up, I can respect that, don't speak in childish catch phrases that you've read in a tabloid newspaper.

                    That mini gripe aside, I have some friends who moved to Canada and they love it, I always refer to there friends, (now my friends), as European Americans.

                    Portugal appeals, easier to get the Golden EU passport ticket although salaries are not great it would be more about quality of life and experience.

                    Spain could be a good option, great down to earth people.

                    All said and done I think Brexit it utterly irrelevant in light of what is about to hit us, Covid is just the start. Our economy will be hugely damaged. I think the UK's response has been so embarrassing it's done us absolutely no favors on the Global stage.

                    I'm a proud Brit, not in the bigoted and racism par on lite sense, but rather in our rich history of explorers, scientists, rulers and engineers who sadly rarely get mentioned.

                      I hear you it's a tough time for all of us, sadly doesn't have to be that way but...

                      It's like the irony of Tory voters clapping for the NHS every Thursday. We should have a separate one for them where do a long sarcastic drawn out clap.

                      Respect to your wife.
