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.

The torygraph would love it if the only people who stand in the way of total domination left the country

Mixed feelings about this .

People who don’t see the telegraph, need to know to how poisonous it is, and how detached they aren’t their readership are from reality.

On the other hand, to see how triggered we are by it, suggests we are still vulnerable.

every single word, of every single sentence, on every single page is to advance an agenda. We might not immediately know which, or whose, but it is committed to enabling hard right politics

This country is damaged, but not beyond repair. All kinds of people, from all over the world still want to come here. Remember that, and try not be poisoned by constantly consuming messages from the ruling class, that help them stay in power .

What a crock of shit. His understanding and use of economic data is fucking laughable

Also by the same author, I think he just writes bait

Did slavery really make Britain rich?

If anything, the slave trade functioned largely to heighten inequality

Mysteriously, there's no mention in this article of who might be responsible for this mess! Say, a political party of some sort? That's been in government for some time?

I'm conflicted. Whilst I'd love to get the fuck out of this shit hole everywhere else is a fucking shit hole in various different ways and degrees. Fuck this planet in general tbh.

Ironically I left the UK years ago and the news in my current country is saying to bail from here too because everything's going to shit. I think it's just everywhere.

whilst the telegraph can be a bit sensational, broken clocks are right twice a day.

i am taking steps to leave here. it wont be for a couple years yet, but i am on the path.

If you’re the demographic that doesn't vote Tory, it’s time to jump ship – get out of Britain before the election

Is there a non paywall link to this???

You heard the old people, get the fuck out.

I can't afford a house in my home country, how am I supposed to be able to afford to move abroad?

Much of that stagnation is because of the Tories running the country into the ground and gifting us the disaster of Brexit. Which the Shittigraph cheerled all the way.
