HAS LABOUR MADE A MESS OF BRITAIN?

Research shows that of the 10 million people who are looking to buy a property abroad in the next 12 months, four in 10 of them will consider leaving Britain for good.

The main reason given for the mass exodus was crime and the growing problem of yob culture.

Just weeks after Home Secretary Jacqui Smith admitted she would not walk out alone at night, the new research also reveals that most of the those wishing to leave for good are women.

Other reasons cited for becoming dissatisfied with life in the UK include the dismal weather, the rising cost of living and soaring taxation.

The research, carried out by Foreign Currency Direct, found that of those looking to buy abroad, 50 per cent of women would like to make a permanent move. This contrasts with just 21 per cent of male buyers wishing to uproot for good.
