tomcatwarne: Why do people leave Blighty? The statistics suggest most of them want a better job and life prospects. Work-related reasons continue to be the main reason given for emigration, accounting for 56% of emigrants. They were the reason 180,000 people left in 2014, and 187,000 left the year before that.

There were 33,000 emigrants who said their main reason for leaving was "going home to live", comprising 18,000 EU citizens and 14,000 from non-EU nations. Emigrants were most keen to get away in 2008, with 62,000 fleeing, which is unsurprising considering it marked the start of the economic crunch.
There have been around 30,000 people leaving Britain every year to accompany or join relatives elsewhere. Others emigrate as they have finished their studies, with 25,000 leaving last year, marginally more than the 22,000 the year before, indicating that Britain's universities have been attracting more foreign students.
What about the ex-pats who wanted to live out their retirement in a nice villa in somewhere like Spain or France? They could well be represented among the 52,000 people who left last year for un-stated reasons, or the 38,000 "other" emigrants.


I never would have thought this would happen to England. My grandparents left ITaly for similar reasons, but I think Italy had to far more messed up than England can be today.

Sounds like the USA might have to use Ireland as a staging ground next time there is a conflict in Europe and we help.

Long live GB

So you're an Italian stallion Galrads. It's not so bad in the UK, I get away twice a year, it keeps me sane.

We need to appreciate how easy it is to make money in a non-white country when you're white. Caucasian kudos abroad will practically make you a living no matter how incompetent you are. And I know of some who will travel round the world several times before they realise that they have no talent.

MORE than half of French voters want their own in-out referendum on European Union (EU) membership, renewing fears in Brussels that a Brexit could topple the 28-country bloc.

Congress passed the Gold Reserve Act on 30 January 1934; the measure nationalized all gold by ordering Federal Reserve banks to turn over their supply to the U.S. Treasury. In return the banks received gold certificates to be used as reserves against deposits and Federal Reserve notes. The act also authorized the president to devalue the gold dollar. Under this authority the president, on 31 January 1934, changed the value of the dollar from $20.67 to the troy ounce to $35 to the troy ounce, a devaluation of over 40%.

Timeline: Gold's history as a currency standard

1934: The Gold Reserve Act of 1934 gives the government the permanent title to all monetary gold and halts the minting of gold coins.

It also allows gold certificates to be held only by the Federal Reserve Banks, putting the U.S. on a limited gold bullion standard, under which redemption in gold is restricted to dollars held by foreign central banks and licensed private users.

President Roosevelt devalues the dollar by increasing the price of gold to $35 per ounce.

1933: To alleviate the banking panic, President Franklin D. Roosevelt prohibits private holdings of all gold coins, bullion and certificates.




and of course for those wondering about there tomorrows who think deflation that's lead to $0% interest rates is crazy:
