I fear that this time it’s terminal. I’ve been advising my friends to leave the UK for over ten years. To paraphrase Peter Hitchens, “I’ve never seen a more doomed society and I lived in Russia during the fall of USSR”

To paraphrase Peter Hitchens again; “If you can’t figure that out by yourself then you are too wet behind the ears to make it”
It’s a big world out there with a lot of variety and the appropriate destination depends on a lot of individual factors.

I feel bad for people who voted against Brexit. Now they have nowhere to go, even if they do want to leave.

Some countries in Europe still have pretty easy to get work/business visas.

There's Ireland if you can afford it. I'm seriously considering it.

Anywhere. The benefit of a decent education for all and fluently speaking a global language. The situation for any young Brit is much better than for most European peers who face the same question.

What was the question? “Where would be better?”, or “who would accept me”, or what is it? The answer would differ depending on the question. But obviously if you speak English and have a decent UK education and passport you are in a pretty privileged situation when it comes to working “anywhere”.

What does this mean, in real terms? Descent into poverty, or what?

I recall a Question Time episode many years back in which Hitchens, upon being asked “what should a young person in Britain do?”, replied “emigrate while you still have the chance”. It received many gasps and boos at the time. I wonder how it would be received now.
