I can’t count the number of people who dramatically stated they’d relocate to another city or country if some politico or other was elected and never followed through
Add one to the tally, zorra. Brexit made me leave the UK
I wasn’t going to keep on paying through my taxes the pensions of the kind of people who detested me simply because of where I was born (the proportion of Leave votes was much higher amongst older Britons).
Also a hard-nosed analysis of the whole thing yielded the conclusion that Brexit would significantly accelerate the downwards spiral of the UK.
It’s thanks to such hard-noses analisys that most of my savings were protected from being hit by the fall in the British Pound when the Referendum vote yielded a Leave as result and in the subsequent years - I “smelled the wind” even before the vote and moved most of my money and assets out of the UK and the Pound in preparation for a “Leave” result.
Decoupling from the UK, including leaving the country, were some of my best decisions ever, as I keep getting reminded periodically everytime there are news of the UK government doing yet another highly authoritarian action (I don’t even follow their Economy anymore)
