In case anyone wonders why I want to live in the UK
- social reasons: it's a multi-cultural society, highly tolerant of all lifestyles and has low rates of crime.
- employment factors: low unemployment rate (still under 5%), high job turnover rate creating opportunities, typical work week of 35 hours, generous leave, statutory maternity and paternity benefits, 12 public holidays and good salaries.
- economic criteria: 4th largest economy, a strong currency, low inflation (3%), the world's most even distribution of wealth and surprisingly low taxes.
- cultural wants: cultural and historical activities and sites galore; international travel is cheap and easy.
- education needs: sophisticated world-leading education facilities; world famous universities; free state schools attended by over 90% of school-age children with the balance attending private schools.
- healthcare concerns: world-class free healthcare system available to all.
- welfare: a large welfare system to help you out if one of life's disasters befalls you.
