Last year the government published a list of twenty people who had apparently fled the country owing huge amounts of money in unpaid taxes. One of them has since been caught.
Take a look at their names. Look at the photos. At least one is Irish, one is from Pakistan, one is Chinese, one is believed to be hiding in northern Cyprus, one is believed to be in Iraq. I could go on.
So far as I can make out, very few of these people are actually British. The rest might have British passports, but are able to disappear to foreign countries and ... well ... disappear. If these people came back to the UK and paid the taxes that they owe, then the rest of us could perhaps pay a little bit less tax as a result.
You are paying for these crooks, and you will continue to pay for them and other crooks like them until the British people can be bothered to elect a government that actually cares about them.
