21 Feb 2008 - The Telegraph in the U.K. is out with a story tonight about how the brain drain of educated U.K. citizens is the worst it has been in 50 years.  You can read the article for yourself here.  To quote The Telegraph, "Britain is experiencing the worst "brain drain" of any country as highly qualified professionals settle abroad, an authoritative international study showed yesterday."  "No other nation is losing so many qualified people, it points out. Britain has now lost more than one in 10 of its most skilled citizens, while overall only Mexico has had more people emigrate." "The most popular destinations are English-speaking countries such as Australia, America, Canada and New Zealand and holiday areas including France and Spain."
