I work in IT Infrastructure so I feel I'd likely be able to get a job in most countries. Also have a third level education. With my tongue slightly in my cheek given your work experience and qualifications and your personal ambition to meet a partner you have two very viable optionsΒ 1. Live in a Country which is attractive to you socially and environmentaly and use RIM(ing) to work remotely, or 2.if you prefer to work at your office location, consider Latvia, very advanced in IT, Beautiful π Women and you can get by in English, but as an intelligent person learning Latvian won't be beyond you. Oh I've already got a long term partner lol. Just no kids yet. We've been saving for a house deposit and have a decent sum saved now which would allow us to buy. But with the way the country's been run this last decade and all the problems which have developed from that, I just don't feel too optimistic about the future in the UK anymore. Luckily we are in NI so it is a much more affordable here and I'd feel more positive about my future here than if I were in the south of England. But at this stage of my life now. Its either possibly consider migrating and starting elsewhere or just stay put, buy a house which will probably go into negative equity and cling into hope that the future isn't as doom and gloom as it looks.

Depends if it's to work, start a business or retire. Retirement wise Portugal looks good. Post Brexit that wouldnβt be possible now would it?

Portugal D7 Visa - as long as you have a passive annual income of at least β¬8,460 (for a single person) have somewhere to stay and a clean criminal record you can apply for the D7 Visa, after 5 years you can get residency. www.portugal.com/travel/portugal-d7-visa-the-ultimate-guide-to-portugals-d7-visa-2022/

How does it work as a couple? If one person 18k say, can that cover both? Yes, just need to earn 50% more to cover both so around β¬12,500 in total.

Depends what sort of 'immigrant' though mate . My sort would be good ones . Your sort and labours sort would be the ones off the dingys. I'd let a certain amount in. You and your Labour mates would open the flood gates. Bit different don't you think ? Why would I open the floodgates? If that's what labour does, why have the tories let more in than the last Labour goverment? Why are you so scared? This is the problem with men these days. Back in my dad's day we had brave men who weren't phased by anything and were able to look after themselves. Nowadays we have "men" who are terrified of people from another country, terrified of a man wearing a dress and a real sense of paranoia over fantasised things which have never happened outside of their heads. Don't be scared mate. It's OK x At least you're not afraid of pedos. Love a good nonce don't you. Love a party with pedo mps that the prime minister won't criticise just like yourself. www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-imran-ahmad-khan-b2066588.html%3fampLove banging on about sex abuse gangs. But have no problems about a Tory pedo being on the panel advising about child sexual abuse. Maybe more would get done about pedos if you didn't vote in parties which put pedos in positions of power lol Love how you've flipped that one on its head. Those who are permanently in a state of apocalyptic fear over climate change, request warnings on TV programmes they consider offensive, are to afraid to define a woman and actively cheer on the genital mutilation of young girls are suddenly the "brave ones". That's one fucked up dystopia you're in brother.

I've never requested a warning over a TV programme. Seems daily mail did over a comedian and are trying to cancel him now. I've never been afraid of defining a woman. Woman: an adult female human being. "a drawing of a young woman" Never cheered on female genital mutilation. You seem to have no issue with the young male genital mutilation performed on most young men in America?

I've no idea what your own personal views are but there are evidently an incredibly noisy minority who do hold these hideous views. Regarding young male genital mutilation - absolutely not a fan. Clearly it's not as life changing as ripping out cocks and replacing then with a man made vagina but nevertheless, not a fan. Do you think that men can become female? Clearly if so then that has a huge impact on your definition π

It also doesn't take too much investment in technological solutions to make yourself look extremely popular on social media. Thankfully there's far more reasonable people in the outside world than the online world would have you believe.

Meanwhile those who were locking themselves away, buying into the endless media scare stories, masking themselves up, putting masks on their children (who were as good as immune to the virus) and generally just living in a state of health and safety obsessed insanity - those guys were brave and "real men"?

Right, that makes sense.π My post had nothing to do with lockdowns. It was about people who said we were turning into an authoritarian dictatorship. I think it is fair to say there were some disturbing scenes during that period and had there not been such widespread push back (who can forget the bizarre press conferences publishing intentionally misleading stats, sickening mask mandates on children, vaccine passports and scenes of old ladies being thrown into police vans for daring to protest), then we may have lost more freedoms that we currently take for granted. I also think its reasonable to suggest that already authoritarian regimes like China have exploited the pandemic to become even more authoritarian. The way the state seized control during that period had all the hallmarks of authoritarianism and it was a big eye opener as to how oppressive regimes work. In just a few weeks of government press conferences and an onslaught of media propaganda, the nation had been petrified and indoctrinated into thinking that they should sacrifice their liberties in the name of the health service and "protecting" others. And then the same people criticise Russian's for buying into decades of propaganda from authoritarian leaders like Putin. It's the same damn process! The entire global covid policy was obscene and it can never ever happen again. The damage will last a lifetime and in places like where I am now (the Caribbean), most businesses and livelihoods have not recovered and many never will. Inevitably the poorest in society get trampled on when the state take over. Lockdown cheerleaders were inevitably, more often than not, white, wealthy "liberals" working from home or public servants who knew their job was safe regardless.
