If you think there has been a huge exodus over the last 10 years since Labour came into power just wait and see what will happen now. There will be an ever larger and more rapid exodus amongst the British - not just the middle classes but everyone. I warned my family and friends 10 years ago what would happen now that Labour had taken control of the government - most of them chose to disbelieve me. They have spent money as if there was no tomorrow - most of it hugely inefficiently with no great overall benefit. You have to admire the blighters in a twisted fashion - they dream up taxes that most of us never could have. Whichever way we turn we are clobbered. The Fry family are right now weighing up the pros and cons of South Africa v. Italy. Can't and won't cope for a minute longer than necessary.
