Considerations for an Oversea Move?

An Anonymous Coward asks: "I'm currently working as an 'IT technician' (lowly tech support position) in the southern United States, but I am considering a move to the U.K. to be with a significant other. What's the best way to gather information like the U.K. technology job market, immigration laws, cost of living, housing arrangements, and of course, how I would move my belongings? Sites like this would be most helpful." While the link that is provided is fairly comprehensive, other sources of information, both referential and anecdotal would be appreciated.

i think the hardest part for me in moving from the usa to europe is the exposure to new ideas like democracy, real political debate and political representation for those on the left (no, not democrats or american liberals - they're called center right).
