    The tax and social insurance + health insurance combined still accounts for only around 25% of deductions.
    still no compensation for living with the pucker mouthed, analy retentive, presbyterian clones that comprise most of the population.
    but, still, you obviously feel comfortable there, so fill yer boots.

      yeah and another reason why life is much better in the UK and nobody should leave is that my mum and dad, my dad as a retired civil servant has a satisfactory index linked pension underwritten by you lot paying your fair dues

      so, let's hold off with this leaving talk and remember how great life in the UK is, it's about the small things, and family

      Milan.

          Just about every serious business owner and entrepreneur I know is leaving Britain, has left Britain or is planning to leave sometime soon.

          The schools are losing good teachers and getting hard-left activist replacements with little interest in student welfare.

          Crime is just way out of control, and I worry every time my children are out of the house without me.

          Tax keeps going up, the cost of living keeps going up, and incomes are flat.

          The future here is looking grim.

              In deepest darkest Gloucestershire - right.

              Hyperbole, much?

                Possibly more worried that the children will discover that there is a whole world outside their house where the majority of people want to get along with each other and don't judge people based on old prejudices.
                …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                  What, they might pick up a sense of normal reality?
                  Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    Ever driven through the Forest of Dean in the dark? .

                    All Them Eyes glowing in the dark next to the A4136. .

                      Are they responsible for a lot of crime in your area?
