    Well, beer is certainly cheaper there, and taxes lower. And who cares if they earn less if they end up spending 22% on quality rent vs 66% in London? Prices are generally lower in Europe, they certainly don't pay crazy money for train travel or anything else really.

    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.

          London is full of people that think they are so much better than everybody else.

            I live in Suffolk, in a large town. A modest 3 bedroom house in an ok area will be about 1k per month to rent. 2 beds a bit cheaper.

            for most that will be 50% or more of a single persons income.

                It's all part of pro-family Tory Party agenda to make people live together, they just need to increase tax on divorces - I say the Treasury should take at least 10% of all assets from failed families, 20% on second divorce and increase by 15% on subsequent.

                      Brillo would probably get an OBE for services to the treasury.
