British people are stupid ( well 16% )

Well some of them, a 3rd of brits want to imigrate over the next 30 years...

Website Intotheblue.co.uk asked 1,682 people what their plans were for this decade. And a shocking 34% said their main priority was to leave the country.

A massive 86% of those dreaming of a move abroad said they wanted to move to a warmer climate. Some 61% said it was because they disliked the way the country was run.

Just 18% said the cost of living was too high 16% blamed increased rates of immigration.

and I guess thats daily star readers for you.

Found the article:

BRITONS WANT TO EMIGRATE BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER

stubby43 on Jan 12 '10 at 6:48pm

Somewhere white?

stubby43 on Jan 12 '10 at 6:53pm

Also I think its kind of funny I dont fit into any of those categories.

sweet n sour on Jan 12 '10 at 7:01pm

I guess that's daily star readers for you.

HAHAH

I want to move to Devon

Tikimasters on Jan 12 '10 at 11:15pm

I'm not sure if the southern coasts of Spain or Italy can handle anymore British ex-pats haha. Last time I was in Italy, there were so many "Brits" who lived there. Crazy.

Polyester Jones on Jan 12 '10 at 11:18pm

I always wanted to move to Britain. But I guess that's why 16% want to leave, huh

squatterjohn on Jan 13 '10 at 1:48am

Did they do the survey during the recent snow?

Because there's no way I could put up with that.

Tikimasters on Jan 13 '10 at 2:39am

Bali, haha that's also a hot spot!

Gar0 on Jan 13 '10 at 3:01am

I'm pretty snow bored. Woke up this morning to a fresh dowse of snow, and my first reaction was disappointment.

Bramish on Jan 13 '10 at 3:03am

People who emigrate are idiots.

gumbolimbo on Jan 13 '10 at 3:08am

16% blamed increased rates of immigration.

..and plan adding to that "problem" by becoming immigrants theirselves?

Oh well, just as long as they learn to speak the local lingo.

mgill52 on Jan 13 '10 at 3:08am

I want to move to England

fatheed on Jan 13 '10 at 3:13am

Why stupid?

Tikimasters on Jan 13 '10 at 3:21am

I'm grateful that I didn't go to London as I planned a few months ago. I was intending on catching a few footy matches so I would've been HEATED if I flew over the pond for nothing (well, I still have friends to see, etc.)

brentendo on Jan 13 '10 at 3:31am

I'd quite like to leave the country. Though that's because I'd like to travel and see other peoples' culture, I couldn't see myself living abroad for good.

stubby43 on Jan 13 '10 at 4:45am

Its a little hypocritical to say that theres too much immigration going into the UK then plan to 'solve' that problem by becomeing an imigrant themselves.

stubby43 on Jan 13 '10 at 4:47am

p.s The Brit's you see on holiday in spain are probably the worst of the worst Brits.

I want to live abroad but its because I loved the Canadian life style, made good friends and I love the snow.

digsy on Jan 13 '10 at 4:53am

I'd like to leave the UK for the first three reasons (not the immigration one, really that doesn't bother me) but then I'm not from here in the first place so I'd probably be solving the problem for that last 16% if I just went home again!

tesco on Jan 13 '10 at 4:55am

pro tip: dont read the daily star. it's made up nonsense. this poll couldnt be more bollocks if it tried.

digsy on Jan 13 '10 at 4:58am

Daily Mail Headline Generator

digsy on Jan 13 '10 at 4:58am

oops, mucked that up

not quite the daily star but almost as bad - check out the very funny Daily Mail Headline Generator

fatheed on Jan 13 '10 at 5:03am

Haha - that's good.

The best ones I got were:

ARE THE GERMANS INFECTING THE QUEEN WITH AIDS?

and

ARE THE UNEMPLOYED MOLESTING THE COUNTRYSIDE?

stubby43 on Jan 13 '10 at 5:06am

I dont normally read papers at all, its just that it was in the break room and I couldnt be arsed to go get a magazine... which is really lazy cause I work in a supermarket and a bookstore.

stubby43 on Jan 13 '10 at 5:07am

COULD THE UNIONS INFECT BRITAIN'S FARMERS WITH AIDS?

Fievel the Mouse on Jan 13 '10 at 5:08am

I lived in Korea for a year! And being back in England, well, I kinda can't wait to go back.. bloody immigrants, taking all our jobs

Spam69 on Jan 13 '10 at 5:20am

First of all Daily Mail Headline Generator - Funniest thing ever. I love the fact that the Daily Mail and express are slowly becoming a parody of themselves.

Secondly, Its a little hypocritical to say that theres too much immigration going into the UK then plan to 'solve' that problem by becomeing an imigrant themselves. Never a truer word said stubby. Unfortunately people with those sort of views don't have that sort of insight.

Thirdly - I understand why alot of people want to leave - weather being chiefly among them, apparently 1 in 10 people born in the U.K no longer do. I don't have a problem with immigration / Emmigration - I just hope people find happiness when they do. There's always the danger of " The grass is always greener " syndrome.

squatterjohn on Jan 13 '10 at 5:20am

This is so much fun!

COULD LESBIANS TURN BRITAIN'S FARMERS GAY?

WILL THE POLES STEAL FROM YOUR PETS?

WILL THE BBC GIVE THE COUNTRYSIDE DIABETES?

HAVE PAEDOPHILES GIVEN THE MEMORY OF DIANA CANCER?

WILL FEMINISM DEFRAUD YOUR DAUGHTERS?

WILL THE METRIC SYSTEM GIVE CLIFF RICHARD SWINE FLU?

COULD THE E.U. STEAL THE IDENTITY OF THE MEMORY OF DIANA?

HAVE PAEDOPHILES TURNED THE ROYAL FAMILY GAY?

IS BINGE DRINKING IMPREGNATING YOUR PETS?

Spam69 on Jan 13 '10 at 5:23am

Lol - just waiting for Wind turbines, Country side Alliance and Wheelie bins to come up.

gumbolimbo on Jan 13 '10 at 5:23am

omg that headline generator! Made my day!

stubby43 on Jan 13 '10 at 5:27am

I'm serriously pissed off with the country side alliance right now, we were supposed to be building a wind farm in cheshire but they managed to argue that it would spoil the view so the plans have been scrapped.

I dont care about a bloody view, its going to be a damn sight worse when we fuck up the planet.

Also I'm pretty sure this is the view they were complaining it would spoil:

gumbolimbo on Jan 13 '10 at 5:31am

The bizarrest thing coming out of the UK recently, to me, is the fact that you need to have a "verified non-paedo license" to transport a kid or do a school run.

digsy on Jan 13 '10 at 5:37am

depending on the brit and the place, some brits on holiday are pretty hellish. they go overseas to foreign countries on holiday and when they get there they demand pubs to watch football in and english breakfasts - basically turn their holidays into little mini britains. and lets not start on the stag and hens' do's and binge drinking.

Goldendust on Jan 13 '10 at 5:38am

Pretty much everyone young is leaving NZ these days. It's actually quite an issue. I intend to jump on the bandwagon ;P

tesco on Jan 13 '10 at 5:40am

NZ must be really boring. Looks ok to me.

Goldendust on Jan 13 '10 at 5:44am

It's pretty much a rite of passage for NZ people to go on an OE at some point in their lives... since we're so far away from everywhere, I guess. Also, our pay isn't all that high. It's very easy to go to Australia and earn heaps more for the same job.

Tikimasters on Jan 13 '10 at 5:46am

Most Kiwis I've met seemed to be looking for jobs and permanence. The kinds that are not in New Zealand.

Tikimasters on Jan 13 '10 at 5:48am

I know I'd have a blast in NZ. The only obstacle of course are the flight expenses. It costs a fortune. As I'm still at college, I can't spend that much money just yet.

stubby43 on Jan 13 '10 at 5:48am

Thats a really big problem? NZ is probably one of the most popular places for brits to imigrate to.

squatterjohn on Jan 13 '10 at 5:48am

They all live here.

tesco on Jan 13 '10 at 5:50am

NZ has the ninth highest marijuana consumption level in the world. Sounds ok to me.

Gar0 on Jan 13 '10 at 6:49am

I'm sure some of those Daily Mail headlines have actually been used by the paper.

WILL FEMINISM DEFRAUD YOUR DAUGHTERS?

This has to have been used.

MeiSomething on Jan 13 '10 at 6:59am

id buy New Zealand if i were Richard Branson

never been to Britain- i have this notion in my head that it's always frigging cold and wet like a fish straight out of the fridge... and gloomy to boot, ugh- if it's true i can see why those brits wanna be elsewhere but feel free to dispel my notion

tesco on Jan 13 '10 at 7:05am

it's only like that 90% of the time

MeiSomething on Jan 13 '10 at 7:06am

that's a lot.

North Island New Zealand is like, 90% the opposite of that

mullmuggins on Jan 13 '10 at 7:25am

Hey! I won't have you saying those things about the UK. Admittedly, you wouldn't come here for the weather... But there are a billion other reasons to visit.

Not that I am getting defensive about it or anything.... ;)

Spam69 on Jan 13 '10 at 7:30am

i have this notion in my head that it's always frigging cold and wet like a fish straight out of the fridge... and gloomy to boot

Pretty accurate for someone who's never been to the U.K. We do have our good points though, we're worth a visit even if you don't want to spend the rest of your life with us.

Gar0 on Jan 13 '10 at 7:39am

Come now, and you'll get 30% off our currency.

MeiSomething on Jan 13 '10 at 7:41am

No offense intended mullmuggins, really :/

I can't seem to respond favourably with this notion so deeply-entrenched in my head

And to think, Spam, that one can develop such an accurate notion merely from watching films (and yeah, all those Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver cooking shows, too)!

But what is there that one can't get from NZ, or Oz, or even in the US of A?

Aside from the excellent free healthcare, the pubs, and the rather interesting accent, if anyone can name just three, please?

MeiSomething on Jan 13 '10 at 7:42am

lol Garo, and where does one go for that?

squatterjohn on Jan 13 '10 at 7:49am

Do the pubs still close at 11?
