A shocking indictment

27 August, Sunday Times: 10m want to quit 'over-taxed' UK

ONE in five Britons — nearly 10m adults — is considering leaving the country amid growing disillusionment over the failure of political parties to deliver tax cuts, according to a new poll.
Whatever successes Labour like to claim, having a fifth of the population actively considering leaving the country is not a sign of overall success. In the 1970s the Labour government drove many rich people (e.g. Michael Caine) abroad with eye-watering tax rates. Now, with cheap air travel they're able to drive ordinary people away too!
