83As much as I'd like to move to America, it is basically an impossibility from what I can gather.
I wonder if I could claim political asylum though? In theory I think I should be able to. I fundamentally disagree with basically every person in British government right now on just about every conceivable level. I might give the American Embassy a call, it might be a laugh.

I highly doubt it's anything to do with the Big Brother state.
I think it's rich people wanting tax breaks.

86I want to leave Britain because I want to live somewhere with better/more diverse weather and because I enormously enjoy all the perks of being English abroad.
Plus I like big cities and I'm sick of the English one.

87I'm going to move to Germany, for reasons related to bread and pork.

88I live in Glasgow. People here have a very narrow view of the outside world. I think Scotland should actually physically be removed from the uk, floated out to the Norwegian sea and then repeatedly torpedoed until Andy Cameron and Darius forfeit their rights to live.

The number of people crammed into each square mile is due to overtake levels in Holland and Belgium - and may already have done so.
Large-scale immigration is pushing up demand in the South of England for more homes, more transport and more services.
Crowding in England is almost double that of Germany and quadruple the population density in France.
Some 1.3 million immigrants have come to the UK seeking work in the past ten years - but 3.5 million Britons are claiming Jobseekers Allowance or Incapacity Benefit.
According to the MigrationWatch think tank, a culture of benefits dependency is fostering an "underclass of discouraged British workers". ( See? It's your fault. It's your shitty attitude. Discouragement is for quitters. )
In addition, it claims the arrival of huge numbers of immigrants tends to drive down wages - adding to the disincentive for those on benefits here to find work.
Ministers have repeatedly claimed that record levels of immigration are needed to fill up to 600,000 "vacancies" in the UK economy.
That is disputed by critics who say mass immigration pushes native workers out of the labour market.
Haha.
Bob, don't quote the Daily Mail. It is the most xenophobic newspaper produced on these shores. Unless you want to come over here and join the BNP.
