I still think that a consistent right-wing press should be castigating people for leaving this great country to go and spend their money on foreigners, and yet somehow they don't.

Basically, a small proportion of all people are awful and it doesn't matter what country you're from or what colour you are. However, data like this will only lead the racists to claim that of course the numbers are lower for Pakistanis etc because the two-tier system isn't arresting them.

OK, in case you're right, I certainly didn't run away because someone told me I might owe £500 million, instead of staying around to find out whether I do and to make sure I pay what I owe.

Fear of racists and stupid people, that is the only reason.

I certainly didn't fail to pay £500 million that I owed, which is the actual point here.

It could be seen as supporting tax evaders, too.

Sadly, I think we're also in a world in which "if you want Reform as the next government, join the single market", because I fundamentally believe too many people are really stupid.

I made the mistake, again, of causing the algorithm to show me politics more than I can stand, so I've had to add a load of related words to my mute list. It means if "he" has a terrible accident or another such momentous thing happens i won't see it, but anything important I'll find out some way.

Thanks, though I gather that it's probably not the kind of book one really "enjoys", but I can tell it will be a worthwhile journey.
