An estimated 5.5m British people live permanently abroad – almost one in 10 of the UK population. The emigration of British people has happened in cycles over 200 years. The trend is now rising again: some 2,000 British citizens moved permanently away from the UK every week in 2005.
Australia is the number one destination.
40% of Britons living abroad are professionals.
17.5% are retired.

Comment:
Even the native Brits whose ancestors lived in these shores for thousands of years have finally come to the same conclusion which Muslims came to back in the 50s and 60s that Britain is a morally bankrupt, crime ridden, and disgusting society. Hence the reason why these people in huge numbers are moving out of the UK.
People only think of themselves in the hedonistic pursuit of individual happiness regardless of the consequences upon their health and others in society. Drugs, alcohol consumption, sexually transmitted diseases, illegitimate kids, single parents, neglect of the elderly, racism, wanton violence etc is always on the increase from year to year.
We as Muslims living in this society have been affected by many of these illnesses, although on a micro level, thank god.
The reasons for such animalistic behaviour are due to the system of ruling in this country. A System which protects the freedom of people to behave as they wish and denies the existence of a creator and the afterlife, hence this life is all that matters.
Non-Muslims ask us to integrate and become part of their society, in other words become like them. No Muslim will heed this call; even the most messed up ones Islamically will reject such a call and wish to bring up their children to be good practicing Muslims.
