A new survey has shown that a majority of Britons want to leave the UK
A survey by flights website Skyscanner has revealed that an astonishing 88% of us are sick of life in the UK
Incredibly 39% of all those considering the move were between the ages of 18 and 45, which would leave even fewer economically active people in the UK, coping with the massive pressures of an aging population.

The reality of uprooting yourself and moving to a different country comes with its own frustrations and difficulties."
The second, and the most vital one, is there are a huge number of countries outside the EU that simply will not take you on.
