From first hand experience, every British millionaire I grew up with or know, have left the UK for a country that treats them better.

The only ones that haven’t moved, are those who are considering it, can’t move cause their business is dependant on the UK, or their family/kids need them in the UK.

If your income doesn’t require you to stay in the UK, why would you stay there?

Why would stay in Britain after the rich and powerful asset stripped the country and ran it into the ground?

Good question, and I guess “to fix the mess they caused” doesn’t usually come up.

And yet none of the richer people I know have left[0], despite some of them making a lot of noise about it .

Sometimes an anecdote is just an anecdote I guess.

[0] or at least haven't spent any less time in the UK, and are still resident, as some already spend a lot of time in a number of different countries
