Thread: Queue to leave Broken Britain

Avalanche-like immigration and mismanagement forces Britons to flee their own country in vain hope that they will be handled better in the USA, Canada, Australia etc.


[quote]A LONG queue winds across a car park, snakes up a flight of stairs and pauses by a set of double doors.

The people waiting patiently in line have not arrived for the start of a sale but are Brits desperate for a ticket OUT of the country they were once proud to call home.

Emigration fairs across the UK like this one in Esher, Surrey, are attracting record numbers of fed-up Britons hoping to be given permission to live in countries including Australia, USA, New Zealand and Canada.

More than 25,000 people have attended fairs in Surrey, Belfast and London in the last few weeks and events in Coventry and Liverpool are in the pipeline.

The fairs come after more than 200,000 skilled workers and professionals turned their backs on the UK and left for good last year to start a new life abroad.

The Government’s latest figures show the number of Brits emigrating to Australia alone has more than DOUBLED in the past decade.

Enticed by the climate — as well as the more material advantages of a recruitment drive aimed at attracting skilled workers — more than 23,000 Brits moved Down Under between 2006 and 2007.

The number of arrivals from the UK is expected to soar further after the Aussie government announced plans to add an extra 6,000 places for skilled migrants, taking the total annual intake to 110,000.

A big proportion of those places are expected to be taken up by Brits.

Mike Schwarz is managing director of Outbound Media Exhibitions, which organises the emigration fairs.

Representatives from different countries set up stalls to discuss emigration with those thinking about taking the plunge.

Mike says: “The interest has been phenomenal. People have been queuing to get in. Chatting with exhibitors last weekend the most frightening thing in some ways was the quality — and quantity — of the people visiting the show who plan to emigrate.

“From nurses and midwives to teachers, engineers, truck drivers, plumbers and carpenters — there was an incredibly wide range of workers.

“There is a general level of dissatisfaction with life in the UK and a perception that there will be a better lifestyle overseas.

“There is no doubt that cheap property is a pull for people looking to release capital and buy something splendid with lots of land and a view. But a lot of people have also mentioned loutish behaviour, migration from Eastern Europe and the cost of living as powerful factors in making them want to say goodbye to their home country.

“The well-being of children is another major pull.â€

I guess those representing the USA at this so called "emigration fair" forgot to disclose to those Britons wishing to come to the United States that we oursleves are in the midst of an illegal invasion that is on par with Europe.

Sure, we do not have the Muslim attempting to "islamify" our country that Europe has, but we have plenty of illegal invaders from third world countries that can and will make life unpleasant.

Hey, at least THEY SPEAK ENGLISH. We've got that going for us....

DITTO...

Who can blame them? I'd guess many barely recognize their country anymore. I'd be leaving, too, if this is the future:

I used to live in Britain(England and Wales), and I don't know that I'll ever go back. It's surely not the country I knew in the early '90s. It's deeply saddening to me, so I can't imagine how the native Brits are feeling. Whenever I think of the crumbling state of Britain, I think of this song, and it almost makes me weep. It's one of that country's most beautiful patriotic songs/hymns. If you've never heard it you should take a listen. It's quite stirring. The lyrics and a link follow. The first verse is a tribute to those who died in WW1, the second verse a reference to heaven. The video is a beautiful version by the boys's choir, Libera.


I Vow to Thee My Country

I vow to thee, my country—all earthly things above—
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago—
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

God bless this beautiful land.
