I dont know how many aussies do a runner and i certainly dont want to break any law. If they follow me to australia they will drag me back to her majesty's pleasure.apparently there are some treaties in place for that.
And imagine, that in the unlikely event of Her Majesty's Government actually catching up with you, having to pay all that tax back...BUT having to pay 2.4 times the amount due to currency differences!

It's compensation for the fact that Andy's forefathers were British, and that one of them was sent to a penal colony in shackles for stealing three apples.

Footballers and pop stars have massive fan bases and there would be uproar if they left in their droves never to perform in the UK again.
Come on, which of you shed a tear that "The Lone Gunman" went abroad?
