[@mattjackson777]

The UK is heading for rapid decline. Massively overpriced housing, declining public services, high taxes and decades of low skilled mass migration have destroyed the futures for young people so they’ll look elsewhere and be welcomed with open arms. As populations around the world now head for stagnation and population decline with low birth rates across most of the world, there are amazing opportunities for young people to leave and have much better standards of living and competition will rise among countries to attract the educated young. House prices will significantly fall in the UK over the medium to long term as the country struggles to retain young people and can’t attract educated immigrants and the economy implodes similar to Japan in the 90’s to today. Their booming stock and housing market crashed and never recovered, the population is now declining by 600,000 a year and more old age nappies are sold than baby ones. High house prices and taxes are heavily linked to steep declines in the population as people have fewer and fewer children.

They do the same thing in the US. They vote for the policies that tax them out of any ability to make a living, find any housing if they're not rich, and trash their cities with crime, homelessness & filth. Like California is a sewer. They move to states like Colorado, & ruin it too. It's a mess bc it's blue now, run by democrats. Every city or state that's blue is a disaster but they never learn. Now they're flooding to Texas & Florida that are run by conservatives- & doing the same stupid thing. They should be barred from voting until they've had a class in common sense.

[@jimmyl7511]

@@cb8608 It depends on what you're doing for a living for the most part and if there is a demand here for it, I can say that there is certainly a demand for English teachers, all I have to do is open my mouth in a local Sauna and someone wants to buy a course, so it's definitely a good time to be an English Teacher here. There are different routes to take, so a lot of it is finding one that just gets your foot in the door really, whether it be as a HQS (Highly qualified specialist) or just standard working visa, might be worth checking the trades and quota on the HQS though. There is of course the invitation route on a standard visa, only lasts 90 days I think. Then there is the Entrepreneurial visa, though I am not too clued up on it. My advice is to anyone who does want to come is to mention that bear in mind wages working for companies on standard visas are Lower, cost of living is lower too, the good money is in self employed activities. So to earn good money here I recommend advertising your services on apps like Profi or Social Media, word of mouth etc. Have a clear exit plan from the visa, immigration laws can change as I well know and have experienced. I think in two years of living here on a work visa you can go for a temporary residence permit, if you get married and have a child to a Russian lady, (which is what I did) then permanent residence, not much hassle is then attainable. The Economies of each are split off from each other completely, you can move money between each using crypto, but expect exorbitant fees! I hope this helps!
