The issue isn’t low pay; it’s the lack of academic jobs. The US invested astounding amounts in its research infrastructure. Nobody comes close. And now that it’s seemingly collapsed, we’ve got a glut of Americans looking to bail (I don’t blame them as I’m one of them, I just bailed two decades ago!)

We have less than 6 million people here. It’s actually 5.49 million in 2025 & it’s much larger land mass than folks realise.

Hey I worked down there for a couple of years. Love the Yorkshire people- they’re like Glaswegians without the sarcasm.
