    If everything was good at home, no one would migrate.

    Most people wouldn't migrate. There's plenty who move to experience more in their life.

    It would be hard to beat Hong Kong on accommodation costs or substandard living conditions.

    Think of it as a medical insurance premium. It's a small price to pay for moving to a better way of life.

    It's not the end of the world. Britain will still remain a formidable economy and will retain its links to the EU. If you speak decent English and are willing to adapt a bit, a new and decent way of life can be had.

    Luckily it was introduced after we moved to the UK.

    Are you a fan of an insane unbelievably cruel emporer who committed suicide?

    Of all the reasons people may or may not choose to go to any one country i don’t think this would have been high on the required list

    It is either a joke or insanity, let's hope the first.
