Funny how northern France is packed with people literally dying to get here. Has anyone told them that they can go to Utopia with no obstacles?

I don't think the young brits in germany are getting free board and lodging in posh hotels + spending money?

// Kevin McCloud urged those looking to buy their first house to "move to Germany" as interest rates in the UK soar.//

Is the report a little out of date?

Some of the people in the report seem not to have got out and about much:

James also said he loved the "diversity and culture" within Germany, adding: "Where I'm from in London, I don't feel like it's a very diverse place and here there's so many different people from so many different places and I absolutely love that."

I don't know what part of London he's talking about. I know most of London quite well and some of it very well. I don't know any significant areas that are not "very diverse".

Anyway, I though that since Brexit it was impossible for UK citizens to settle in the EU. Seems not.

Exactly, NJ. I'd like to know where he comes from in London that's not diverse.

He is also studying, which most university students can do if they want to. He's hardly living there as a contributing member of their society. Once his studies are over, he'll have to come back, unless he's lucky enough to get a visa to stay.

..... wine for £1.70? Can't really be drinkable!

I think James is telling porkies and has never been to London

He's got the dive part right. 🙄

My cousin lives in Germany (Hamburg, works for Airbus) and his healthcare is really good.  There is a good stock of long term rental property which doesn't exist in the UK.  He would never come back to the Uk though.  Would I go to live in Germany? No.

[dave50]

Diversity, hate that word.

Most of that article is bilge and fantasy. Why do 70% of Germans rent their living quarters.They don't buy cheap property . Looks like young James,who claims there is no diversity in Londonistan, has been listening to Hymies mate,Phil.🤣
