    Their respective careers - in management consultancy and personal injury law
    And BTL landlords to boot.

    Just put them on the B-ark and make them some other planet's problem.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      Imagine if the article was about a single mother asking for financial advice, you would get all the righties on here up in arms with such comments as "well, she shouldn't have had kids then" or "stop her benefits" even if she wasn't too blame all she wants to do is work. If they want all the nice things in life then they'll have to sacrifice a kid or two...
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Yes, it is nice to see the boot on the other foot for once.

          Are they unable to return to their country of origin too?

            More and more people like this these days, the sense of entitlement knows no bounds. If you cant afford a lifestyle then let go of it. Move, downsize, let go of showing off and competing with your neighbours/peers and concentrate on what is important. I have a similar soft pillock living near me, he will be bankrupt within a year, looked good for a while though.

              Great commentary. Contractors here will be nodding along, tutting about "entitlement" and "stupid", then go and post about how it's not fair they will have to pay dividend tax, and that they won't be able to make ends meet on £4-500/day anymore.

                its a Canute moment

                . It was, of course, a descendent of these eccentric poets who invented this curious tale of impending doom which enabled the people of Golgafrincham to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The other two-thirds, of course, stayed at home and lived full, rich, and happy lives until they were all suddenly wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone.
