Why do so many want to enter the UK?

Having spent a lot of the day speaking of the injustices between EU countries when (in my humble opinion) we are supposed to be a unit of likemindedness why is it so many want to flee to the UK?

It isn't for any one reason - there will be some for all of your boxes but what about it being a fairer more secure society than others in Europe.

Yes I appreciate its for all 3 and your reason too Rowan but I was just hoping to see which actual ONE took them there before anything else.

Well it certainly isn't for the warm welcome some folks give them.

For many the one word is Desperation

Thanks VM, but why pass so many other EU countries to get to the UK is the point I'm making.

Yes Corrie some do but many don't. Having family and/or friends here may, I think, have some bearing on the choice made.
