I have seen this reposted in many places, in a great example of not reading the article. It is much more complex than the Guardian slant wants it to appear. Average rent in BA is about half of what this guy was paying in London. Also - and this is key - he is there for work.

It is the fantasy of the Guardianista to fuck off to another country with lower cost of living, and make a bit song and dance about it. It is not, however, the great conscientious move you think it is, because it is only possible due to privilege. Actual priivilege, not the Graun kind.
