We will be off in two years - as soon as youngest has finished school. Just trying to persuade my good lady we should sell up now and rent.

That means that the overwhleming majority ir 4 out of 5 are in FAVOUR of NL tax policys.

And just where do they think they will go to pay less tax,unless they have a residency in Monaco, which I doubt.

I dont know about you, I am in favour of a further tax hikes to ensure our nuclear deterent is the best that money can buy.

We cant be too careful these days ...

I don't read it that way. Your second line is closer to the facts...where do you go? In europe the UK is one of the lowest taxed areas.

To OZ or the US? extremely difficult and expensive to get in..and you may not like it there...what with the rednecks and all.

As for me...wife and I are back to Canada by end of next year. Though....for how long no idea...she hates winters here!.

How many of them voted for NL? That should have been second question in the poll.

By the numbers of Canadians in the Cayman Islands, all of them hate the winters. The place is full of 'em.

I'm too fecking old to get in anywhere... so I'm stuck with Bliar & Co for the duration

So am I, but I created my own business and employ the locals. That normally goes down well.

Tax collectors also came to be baptized.

"Teacher," they asked, "what should we do?"

13 "Don’t collect any more than you are required to," he told them.
14 Then some soldiers asked him, "And what should we do?"

He replied,

"Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely - be content with your pay."

No mention of immigration then?

If the poll is worded like that the suprising thing is how many want to stay.

There are lies, damn lies and CUK posts

Reading further in this article we learn ...

It found that emigration is a possibility for more than one in five people. Asked if they had thought about moving abroad, 16% said they had given it
“serious thought” and a further 6% said they planned to do so.

So its six per cent plan to emigrate, no shock there !
