I'm not anti-expat. Many go abroad for better prospects. I'm saying 2 things: there is welfare even for off-shore wealth when things go pear-shaped and if they bring their wealth home to support themselves then they'll boost the economy by being here. Either way they're our citizens and they're welcome (i.e. a place to live, plenty to eat and hopefully employment). The prodigal jibe was at the well known standard of life out there. None will be skint

Those days with the odd exception are long long gone. Most jobs up to a very high  level are filled with a variety of different nationalities, often on wages not as great as people would imagine.

It always looked fraught to me- completely different culture. One I do understand but wouldn't want to live or work there. At some point yr job gonna end anyway.  K
