Wonder if the police will use the same tactics on other forms of protest, such as far right or the recent farmers protests?

I reckon they do it all the time.

Is this what they call ‘two tier policing’?

“To this day, the police refuse to release the files their spies compiled”

Someone needs to leak those files. Not enough leaking goes on nowadays.

A new report has revealed that 23% of Brits—the equivalent of 12.3 million UK adults—are considering moving abroad in the next five years, with 12% looking to move in the next 12 months.

The British Expat Report, which includes a survey of over 1,500 UK adults and 500 British expats, has found that 39% of UK adults cite the cost of living crisis for considering moving abroad, a further 22% cite the cost of UK property, and 12% mention better job prospects.

According to the report, young Brits are considering leaving the UK the most, with 38% of those aged 25 to 34 thinking about moving abroad in the next five years.

A further 36% of young adults aged 18 to 24 are thinking about emigrating in the next five years, with 11% considering the move right now.

A mass exodus from the country could have a considerable impact on the UK workforce. The report reveals that 48% of workers in the IT industry, 30% in the healthcare sector, and 22% in teaching and education are considering moving abroad in the next five years…

The report addresses common concerns among UK adults considering relocating. The primary worry for 36% of potential expats is missing family and friends, followed by financial strains (32%), language barriers (29%) and regretting the move (21%).

Despite these concerns, the majority of British expats have a positive experience abroad, with 38% of British expats saying they never regret moving abroad and a further 37% saying they rarely regret moving. 49% of British expats report that their mental health improved within the first six months of emigrating, and 20% say that moving abroad has brought them closer to their family living back in the UK.’

New migration figures out at 9.30am today. Will be interesting to see how many Brits took the plunge in the last 12 mths. The figure dipped a little after COVID struck (unsurprisingly), but post-Brexit there were around 150,000 Brits emigrating each year.

Alister Campbell quoted a stat on TRIP podcast that when the state pension was intoduced there were 20 workers paying for 1 pension(er). Today that figure is 3 workers for 1 pensioner. We also have a declining birth rate with younger people (future parents) reluctant due to instability in employment and.housing.

Some bemoan the impact of immigration on the country but think it's acceptable for employers in some industries to pay a wage you can't live on without state or charity assistance leading to younger UK nationals, righly, refusing to take a job you can't live on.

You'll also find attitudes to work life balance in Europe far better than the UK attitude of long hours, poor wages just to pay off someone else's mortgage.

I work abroad and when I eventually retire or stop working for whatever reason, I'm almost certain that I will not come back to domicile in the UK. Still waiting to see how the new rules and changes affect me as a non-dom. Probably gonna be able to dodge the inheritance tax too if I want.

Welcome to the new world
The New England
Come witness the greatness of Britain
Driving around in a German car
Stop for lunch in a sushi bar
Get my news from the daily star
Get my kicks from the tiiits and arses
Never mind about social classes
I'll cast my vote regardless
Is it you can't change
Or that you won't change?
Is it you can't change
Or that you won't change?
Welcome to the new world
The New England
All heroes, no villains
Double-decker bus and a bowler hat
Bob the Builder
Postman Pat
Social change, no, I don't want that
Just sitting eating crisps in my one-bed apartment
Politics that's not my department
But I'll cast my vote regardless
Is it you can't change
Or that you won't change?
Is it you can't change
Or that you won't change?
You're such a fool, Britannia
Britannia fooled again
Britannia, you're so vain
You've gone insane
'Cause you've been fooled, Britannia
Britannia fooled again
Britannia, you're so strange
You've gone insane
Welcome to the new world
The new normal
Look at us queuing up, so formal
Sunday roast, God save the Queen
Man United with the boot cut jeans
Money in my pocket no, I'm not too keen
That's why I keep voting for the rich and heartless
Bored of all these moaning artists
So, I'll cast my vote regardless
Is it you can't change
Or that you won't change?
Is it you can't change

You're such a fool, Britannia
Britannia fooled again
Britannia, you're so vain
You've gone insane
'Cause you've been fooled, Britannia
Britannia fooled again
Britannia, you're so strange
You've gone insane
Too many idiots breathing up the air
Huffing and puffing like they just run up the stairs
Fighting and cussing like they haven't got a care
But they care about everything that happens over here
Not over there, they couldn't give a toss
If it's a brown country they steal all the crops
Blow it to smithereens and let the bombs drop
Then cry about the borders when they try and come across
Oh gosh
I think this place is going nutty
Too much spice, less British bacon buttys
Worry about your neighbors and worry about the druggies
But not the Eton graduates that's taking all your money
Hm, it seems they're taking the piiiiss, not blaming the brown fella is hard to resist
You'd of thought that the nation was smarter than this
But I've got a couple of questions
Please answer me this
Is it you can't change
Or that you won't change?
Is it you can't change
Or that you won't change?
You're such a fool, Britannia
Britannia fooled again
Britannia, you're so vain

Britannia, you're so strange
You've gone insane
You ain't shut them out
You just locked us in
You ain't shut them out

Arrivederci
Adios

Younger people not academically modes are also faced with the prospect of joining the working world on a wage less than the legal minimum and applicable until they are 24. How is this encouraging young people to embark on a career in retail or hospitality, for example, with the possibility of moving out of home, renting their own flat etc?

Moving abroad has taught me work life balance is a thing. I can see where younger generations are coming from.

Minded* not modes

It can't be stated enough how perspective is shaped by moving abroad, and being able to manifestly witness opinions clearly shaped by closed mindedness from some people who only know their native.

I'm also surprised by some people who have never been anywhere but their perspective is still sound. I guess that's what intelligence is.

Some people don't even have to experience something in order to understand it properly, whereas some people can never understand anything except their own experiences. I find the former tend to be in the left one way or another and the latter is almost always on the right of the political spectrum.

Net migration 728,000 - ONS
published at 09:38
09:38
BREAKING
Estimated net migration to the UK stood at a provisional 728,000 in the year to June 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics.

BREXIT FOOOKING BRITAIN

Net migration even HIGHER in 2023 than first thought after ONS missed 181,000 people from initial figure

How the eff do you miss 181k???

So the Tories were letting in close to 1 million net a year and yet it's Labour who get accused of wanting open borders

The gratest trick the Tories ever pulled was convincing the public they were anti-immigration.

Seems like the Chagos islands deal is scuppered.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For fack’s sake. Those people are never going to be able to go home

Facking shameful.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Behave, most of the Chagossians that lived there are dead, you make it sound like they’re all living in refugee camps. What about the Chagossians that don’t want the island to be given to Mauritius.

It's like all your replies consist of feeding ja606 posts into ChatGPT along with the prompt "Reply to this text as if you were an utter unt."

Let’s see what the Tory response is.

Yesterday, when they thought there was going to be a big drop off, they were screaming that Labour shouldn’t be given any of the ‘credit’ because the figures run to June.

Let’s see if the failure to reduce the rate is now somehow all Labour’s fault…

Hope Labor can get hold of it though because that many people every single year is nowhere near sustainable. We struggle to build infrastructure at the best of times, never mind needing to cover an additional 750k every year.

Early figures suggest they're making some small inroads at least. I read yesterday deportations are up 20% so it's a start.

I’m sure the Tories made sure the NHS could handle 1m new arrivals

Harris intends to run for president again

Get ready for more word salads

Fight!

American politicians in general just can't seem to let go. I saw Nancy Pelosi is meant to be running again for her current job despite being 84 and I don't get why.

The Democrats need to take a long, hard look at why young people and the working class didn’t turn out for them.

The struggling 50% needs a party which actually represents their economic interests, rather than a binary choice between two ‘by millionaires, for millionaires’ parties.

The Dems need to follow a democratic process and nominate through Primaries and Caucuses

They parachuted Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris in and Trump won both times
