Emigration

Last year nearly 200'000 British citizens officially emgrated, a record number. The main causes are attributed to;

  1. Expensive housing
  2. Fears over crime
  3. Cost of living
  4. Lack of jobs outside service industries
  5. Poor weather
I can understand all of these reasons apart from the last one. This summer has been cold and wet but people emigrating last year didn't know this. Methinks there has been a bit of editorialising there. In general, the past few winters have been mild and the past few summers quite pleasant.
