10m want to quit 'over-taxed' UK

Bluemerle · 27-08-2006, 12:10 PM

ONE in five Britons — nearly 10m adults — is considering leaving the country amid growing disillusionment over the failure of political parties to deliver tax cuts, according to a new poll.

I'm sorry I don't believe those figures. Nobody asked me or any of my family or friends. It'll take more than high taxes for people to leave the Country including me. Here in deepest Devonshire if I and many others of my ilk started to see a lot of Mosques springing up all over the place we just might have to have a think as to are next move! I just hope it never comes to that!

The way I see it, most of these people want to leave the country because they can't afford food and transport after Sky, sunbeds, nights out and credit cards. Beecause, lets face it, that is the way the British public is going nowadays. I'll never leave, apart from maybe the odd holiday. Most of the countries they go to use the *choke*Euro anyway.

New Zealand is taking a lot of Brits at the moment.

Like Britain was in many ways (not all), but no Blair and no EU.

I think the figures are representative. I would have gone except for ageing parent. Even the youngsters are hacked off with the scum who reside in westminster and are looking abroad.

If it wasn't for my wife I would have gone now. I even had a job lined up.

As long as the 10 million leaving here are the same people who in the last 20 years arrived here or were born to people who arrived here in the last 20, then I have no problem!
