To the OP. I gave emigration a lot of thought when I was younger and almost did it. But life got in the way and now I’m older, the pro’s of staying in Great Britain far outweigh the cons. Despite what you read, the National Health Service alone is worth staying for especially as I age and fall apart.😊
My state pension, if I were to emigrate would be frozen, so year on year if I lived abroad I would have to live on less and less each year.
I know the law of the land.
On the whole, our standard and cost of living is good.
There may be things wrong with this country, but they pale into insignificance when compared to the problems many countries face.
The thing is, where it is cheap to live it is also less stable both economically, politically and safety and infrastructure is more fragile. These reasons for me are the deal breakers to moving to a cheaper country.
Finally, I am a patriot and a royalist and the only way to change a country is to stay and fight for it.
