Over 1,000 people a day leaving the UK for Expat life

Figures released this week state that are over 6,000,000 Brits have already moved abroad & this figure is growing by over 1,000 a day.

The biggest reason given for leaving is to improve ones quality of life...... says everything about the country IMO.

Does it say how many are having to go back because things don't work out for them where they have gone

funny thing is how many wish to move there I think the list from non EU people who wish to get a visa to live there has increased 29% over the past 4 years.

Yes, very interesting

'Many of those leaving were "long-term migrants" and not British citizens'

I reckon a lot of the immigrants are people who want to improve their quality of life financially, or come from areas where the conditions are unimaginable, whereas the ones emmigrating are those who have had enough of the greed that consumes everybody, and realise that there is more to life than money.
