Government Responsibility to UK Nationals abroad
For all those complaining about the 'tax-free expats', would you prefer to have UK nationals slaughtered/taken hostage/attacked, resulting in direct, focussed (ie kinetic) intervention by HM Forces?
Not everyone who lives in the Middle East are money-grubbing individuals with outstanding CCJs, CSA etc after them. In Yemen (which is hardly the expat destination of choice) there are a large numbe rof NGO and IO staff, in addition to 'domestic' British Passport holders.
