Welcome to the UK and Goodbye

A significant number of Romanian and Polish migrants have been leaving the UK in recent years.

The podcast it’s based , the article titled "Welcome to the UK and Goodbye: Where the Grass Was Greener, Once" from The INFORMER, discusses the reasons behind the increasing departure of Romanian and Polish migrants from the United Kingdom. The author points to a decline in the quality of life, citing factors such as a third of the population living below a minimum socially acceptable standard and stagnating wages. The piece also highlights significant issues within the National Health Service (NHS), including extended waiting times and soaring negligence claims. Furthermore, the article argues that racism and xenophobia against Eastern Europeans have risen significantly since Brexit, and it notes a surge in crime rates, particularly shoplifting. Ultimately, the source suggests that these combined factors create an environment where remaining in the UK becomes increasingly challenging and undesirable for these migrant groups.
