More and more people emigrating from Britain

The Times recently reported that more and more Indians are opting to leave the UK for India.

There are already over 5 million Britons living abroad, and now it seems, even the immigrants are leaving. If Britain's political establishment had an ounce of common sense, it might ask itself why so many want to emigrate. There are the obvious reasons, such as the bad weather, overcrowding and high property prices. But there are also the political reasons: spiralling crime, high taxes, big government, substandard public services, poor education, and Islamic extremism.

People can vote with their feet as well as at the ballot box. And that's exactly what Britain's most talented citizens are doing, and in their thousands. Can politicians really afford to take them for granted?
