Just to add to BYMONEK's points, if you are a high bracket tax payer in the UK, you are subject to a total of 72% overall taxation (FT's figures not mine) when you take into account indirect taxation such as VAT, duty on fuel, car tax, and council tax etc etc.
And to say that the NHS will look after you in your 'golden years' is pure fantasy! Remind me to tell my 87 year old grand mother who has been waiting for a hip replacement for over 19 months, and is in so much pain that the family has clubbed together to pay for a BUPA op!!!!!!!!!!
And don't even get me started on the 'Chav'/Drug/Gangland society that now prevails in what was once a country I was proud of...........Just read the Daily Mail once a month to remind yourselves why you left the UK in the first place!! (or just walk down Crawley high street to view the splendour of the lowlife dross that inhabits most of the country now!)
