I agree with others that Leeching is a bit harsh and also far from the truth.
In my experience most of the guys based in a lot of Ryanair bases commute, they take very little from the system in there so called based country position. I did it in Spain for 18 months and I needed the dentist so I flew home! I needed the Doctor I stayed at home this time as was already there. I did not enrol my kids in the local school or get my missis on any state funded courses. I lived in a hotel so did not need the use of the bin men to clear any more rubbish than the hotel would expect from any guest. or use the fire service to put out my car on fire as I did not have one.
I did use all these services at home so why shouldn't I contribute there!
I agree you should pay tax's where you live. but commuting in every 5 days a staying in a cheap hotel is not living.
