My youngest has just gone to the antipodes. Fed up to the back teeth with being p####d about by the NHS he has taken his highly specialised skills elsewhere.
Now he has a decent wage, far less petty regulation and interference, better prospects of advancement and a much better lifestyle for an outdoor activities & extreme sports lover.
His father and I are thinking of joining him for the same reasons (except I'm in education rather than health).

Over taxation, lack of real opportunity, over regulation, the strenuous application of silly rules and regulations, paperwork: paperwork: paperwork, crime and the erosion of ancient freedoms all make this country less and less desireable.
I would sooooo miss the folk though...
