Follow your heart, otherwise you might regret it. It's better to regret something you have done, then something you haven't done.
I would recommend doing your training in this country however and when you finished groundschool you might be able to do some part-time work or working from home (programming of course) to keep some income. If you want to work in the UK it's better to train over here. Not just because of local conditions etc, but more for building a network.
