12. Not in any imminent future...

if I didn't leave during all those years of Thatcher, I wouldn't just because of a Leave vote now. There are many reasons why I prefer to stay where I am, if possible.

However, if things seriously degenerate ... well, I do have dual citizenship with Canada, and yes, it's there at the back of my mind.
