    That's very likely - the point is that the City creates bugger all - in fact it (in my view) does not even invest money in UK (unlike financial centers in USA, Europe) - in the last 3-5 years the City effectively turned into money laundering machine that was greased by dirty money from Russia and other "emerging markets". This happened only due to lax regulation that would not have allowed such companies to float in USA, and this money laundering exercise was probably the most decent upstanding thing that the City did recently actually - the other stuff (derivatives, hedge funds etc) was total scam in my view.

    So, given all that I think you have no right to say that Europe somehow does not produce anything - compared to you a cockroach is fulfilling a useful function in his life.

      It should not cost much just to have a place to live in - if it does then some mechanisms (construction of new homes) do not work well and it is them that need to be fixed.
      As has been said before, if you don't like like this country and the currency we CHOOSE to use, you know where the door is. All you do is moan about it so why are you still here?

        Now make sure you get your tax return filed on time. My bonus can't be delayed you know, even though your taxes are just an infinitesimally small fraction
        Hard Brexit now!

          As I've said before I am entitled to my views and you have no right to tell me to get out just like I can't tell you to get out of this country if you (as an example) support parties like Labour or even BNP.

            Probably because it's the only country in Europe that indulges ne'er'do'well eccentrics like him

              Yes. Thatcher did invent the concept of care in the community after all.

                My accountant does that mate - unlike you I am not a useless permie manager who just "uses the system to ones advantage".

                  I think freedom is speech was invented well before Thatcher.

                    No. You write some useless software that nobody wants.

                      I don't sell software mate, I sell analytical services that were created with my software - that's entirely different proposition and my clients are very pleased with it. So far I've got over 50 paying clients from all over the world, this is something that makes my company (however small it is) actually a real business that brings in foreign revenues to this country helping offset the damage that useless overpaid people like you did.
