#2Sounds really appealing. Going from a warm tropical climate with affordable food, good transport, relatively good social services to somewhere cold, wet, lower standard of living, and in economic turmoil.

Yea, that warm tropical climate really cancels out the tyranny.

Hong Kong is the antonym of affordable.

Food is actually cheaper in UK
It’s subjective but I personally find UK’s cold wet weather much more tolerable than HK’s moist and hot summers and winters actually feel colder in HK.
HK’s public medical system is no better than the NHS.
As for standard of living , you are joking, right?

Tyranny in whose opinion? Seems something like 7M don't think so, or not enough to take anyone up on the offer.

Housing-wise yes, agreed. But London is hardly affordable either.

I will say standard of living is a bit subjective.
But my personal opinion is that having lived in the UK, I never saw a people living so poorly, yet thinking they're rich.

> I never saw a people living so poorly, yet thinking they're rich.
This quote is definitely better for describing people in HK who live in their 30m^2 apartment that cost USD$700000 than those in UK.
