Emigration in fact and in practice

I heard on the wireless this morning that a disproportionate number of those emigrating are aged between 16 and 35. I do not know how the 16 years old youth express their wish but I can see why. The fact is that British youth must be absolutely fed up with facing housing, whether owned or rent, is in practice so absurdly costly that locations overseas are a better bet.

It is also clear that this quite extraordinarily unpopular government by Labour is generally regarded as useless and foolish. It is scheduled to be held in contempt for another four years and that is just too long.
