I am in the same boat. I am staying at the moment because of my work situation and my family, but I have an inevitable sense that should either of those situations change, particularly the former, I'll be actively looking to move out. The war on reasoning and facts is too intense, and even though I'm largely sheltered from it where I live and work (almost everyone I know has similar views to me on these matters), it's becoming too much to bear. I do love my country, and it has a lot to give the World, which makes it all the more painful to see it go through such a transformation.

It is happening simultaneously almost everywhere. Different countries are at different stages, but it doesn't look like anywhere is a safe haven. Having lived in several countries over the years, the grass is rarely greener as a whole - some parts are, and they may matter more to you, but the western world is mostly on par on everything.

Where did you think of going?

Germany or Holland are contenders. While they may not have a perfect political climate, almost anywhere in the Western world is an improvement on the UK.

Germany isn't far behind on their monitoring stuff. Not sure about Holland

Iceland, if I can learn the language to a sufficient degree.

By the time you reach they point where it is very clear you should leave it will be too late. Prepare now by selecting a country and starting the long immigration process, it's not an option you have to exercise.
