Is Everyone Leaving the UK?
22nd July 2025
Matt’s wife is from Eastern Europe. She loves England as much as he does, which is why she wanted to come here over a decade ago. But, he says, neither he nor his wife feel like they live in England anymore. “Everywhere is overrun with Muslims,” he says. Luton—a town not very far away—has over 26 official mosques. Crime is up. Anti-social behaviour is up. Meanwhile, Matt’s mortgage, monthly bills, grocery shop, insurance, and general cost of living are crippling him and his family. He feels crushed and alienated from his own land.
As a self-employed worker, every six months, he sees the taxman come knocking and fleecing him of everything he has managed to save. At the same time, he increasingly feels that his tax money is put to poor use. He complains to me of illegal immigrants being housed in hotels throughout the country, the NHS collapsing and yet focusing its efforts on so-called ‘transgender re-alignment surgeries,’ or as Matt calls them, “chopping nobs off.”
Eventually, the conversation goes where it so often does nowadays: the rape-and-torture Muslim gangs, and the imprisonment of politically incorrect Tweeters like Lucy Connolly. “Why am I ‘far-right’ for being annoyed about all these Muslims raping kids?” Matt rhetorically asks me.
Over half the self-employed labourers Matt knows have already left the country. Some have gone to Australia, others to Poland, one to Hungary. “There isn’t so much LGBTLMNOP rubbish over there—it’s better for the kids,” he says.
