Gordon targets non-residents

You could be right, imp.

But if he's targeting the people Ed mentions, then the Sunday Times has perhaps wasted a front page of the Money section on a tiny minority concern, while perhaps ignoring other issues that will have more impact on ordinary investors and those saving for their pension.

I think you will find this Times article on Wealth in Britain interesting, imp. Particularly the graph you get on the "Click here" bit.

Times - The poverty paradox — the less you have, the more you must pay

In spite of his many stealth taxes Gordon is still struggling to close the widening gap between rich & poor.

It looks like Middle England (the key marginal voters) has done proportionately better than the super rich, and way better than the poorest 10% under Gordon's tenure.

Hmm, interesting reading.

I have lived in France for 7 years now, the Health Service is great but....I am ex RAF, therefore have to pay UK tax, and will not get any help with my costs until I'm 65, so I pay for the NHS but can't use it.
Does anyone else think this is grossly unfair?
Yes, I know it's not an awful lot of money (1200 euros) but that's what I have to live on a month, and I feel very :mad:
I can't even vote in UK now, so what can I do about it ?
