  • Why the hell did I go into the comments on a Telegraph article… White flight wtf…

    I am just under 50 and I would love to leave the UK for another country, but I don’t have the resources to do so. I don’t have a profession or skillset that is in demand in another country, I don’t really speak another language (GCSE French and a bit of Duolingo Spanish). I don’t own property I can sell for a chunk of funds. And I have an elderly mother I’m semi responsible for and wouldn’t want to leave.

    Emigration is something of a privilege. The people who are suffering most under the social and economic conditions created by years of austerity and aggressive neoliberalism aren’t generally going to be the ones who can move elsewhere. I suspect a lot of the people who can and will leave are the ones who voted for this shit show in the first place. Twats.
