Guess you'll be paying my share of the taxes towards their benefit claims, then.

None, because I do not live in the UK due to:
1) Tax being too high - very expensive for startups in business - overregulation is ridiculous as well
2) A culture of dependency, most of whom are white Brits popping out children in their teen years for fun - chav culture - its like everyone is trying to outcompete one another in wearing the best tracksuit
3) A spoilt generation whereby people only really care about themselves and have little regard for others anymore
4) It is pretty much a police state of control - high fines, lots of rules controlling your life, CCTV everywhere, speed cameras have motorists in a state of paranoia, etc. - infringing upon liberal freedoms to the point of driving you insane
5) The lack of diversity and things to do plus terrible weather - here I can frequent beaches regularly and enjoy myself
6) A rampant binge drinking culture and a generation who cant have fun without a drink - this is often the result of chronic underlying depression - which is also why many are on medications like Ritalin or resort to just playing video games 24/7 in isolation
7) The property market is a joke. Nobody in their right mind will pay £200k for a 3 bedroom house that isn't detached and probably in some horrible suburb when you can get much better abroad with a garden, swimming pool and take advantage of globalisation.
8) Health care is going down the pan for numerous reasons but the most notable is fiscal mismanagement of governments over the last few decades - due to the lower tax its easier to put the extra money saved into paying for private healthcare abroad which is incredible
9) The lack of justice when it comes to criminality is absurd - the UK is full of idiots who bash immigrants coming to the country but are happy to give a rapist 3 years, or 18 months with good behaviour, cause everyone must be rehabilitated - what a joke. However, if you don't pay taxes you'll probably get 10+ years without question. What a lovely country.
10) The military are not given the protection and equipment they need - they are also advised not to wear their uniform on their own streets for fear of a terrorist attack
11) There is a dumbed down culture in the UK with everyone obsessed with trivial crap - big brother, x factor, all that nonsense as opposed to what truly matters - its no surprised literacy and numeracy standards are falling when there is a trivial culture in the UK and kids who try hard are actually bullied and called nerds or geeks etc. as if its bad to want to do well
12) The UK is full of miserable people who put others with a 'get go' attitude down for doing well - if you try to do well there are negative nellies everywhere telling you 'oh that wont work' or 'you cant do that' because of their own insecurities - they are annoying and only seek to drag you down to their own level because they haven't got the motivation and drive to do anything themselves - everyone is just intent on becoming a white collar worker helping the corporates get even richer
13) Political correctness is a virus - the UK is a country whereby if someone says 'Im proud to be black' they're applauded and paraded around for it. If someone says 'im proud to be white' they're slated, called racist and called EDL or UKIP lovers. Do you know how moronic that comes across to anyone with any sense of rational or logical thought? People outside of the UK laugh at the idiocy of this nonsense.
14) Public service costs are a joke due to privatisation of almost everything - trains are expensive in comparison to elsewhere, taxis are a rip off just like everywhere else, buses are congested and often full of chavs blazing the latest music whilst stinking of marijuana. However, if you opt to drive instead to avoid all of that you have to pay a small fortune every year for the privilege.
15) Finally, the hypocrisy is astounding. The UK, well actually mostly England, goes around with its snooty nose acting like its some sort of utopian paradise and the best country in the world. These morons are totally oblivious to the fact that the Empire is long gone and England is now an overpriced violent chav infested dump. This is a country that slates everyone else for corruption or their problems yet has numerous pedophiles riddled through the establishment, has things like Rotherham going on, numerous expenses scandals and other scandals like price fixing in certain industries. However, wonderful old Britain, is much better than everywhere else....of course it is.
Until you experience being liberated from all the above nonsense you will never know what its truly like to be free. Alternatively you can continue deluding yourselves and believing Britain is still great.

Not really true though is it? You can delude yourself that this is the case but the reality is, whilst you do make your own choices, you do them within an environment, through laws, policy, and regulations, that are set in place for you by those in power.
Did you create the reality in which you had to pay high taxes plus national insurance? Did you create the reality in which the UK is full of speed cameras and you get told which colour bin to put your rubbish in? The most control you really have over your own reality is you can assess all the environments on offer around the world and then choose the one which best aligns with the way in which you wish to live. Now if you wish to continue living in an Orwellian state that has the social values of a Brave New World then be my guest but there are plenty of people who do not. It is no coincidence that 90% of expats are happier abroad and that those in the most educated professions, such as medicine, are usually the first to jump ship leaving a brain drain in the UK, which is why the NHS needs to be propped up with doctors from India.

The UK would be the greatest country in the world if:
a) We hadn't joined the EU
b) Kept our links with the Commonwealth extremely strong creating a political and economical empire around the world
c) Hadn't allowed the Labour Party and Conservatives to fiscally drive the country into the ground
d) Rebalanced our economy to stop it being dependent solely on a service sector
e) Invested more in education and health rather than wasting it on vanity projects and debt interest repayments
So yes, I am bitter. I am bitter that one of the once greatest countries in the world, has been driven right down into the gutter by self loathing arseholes from Eton who only have an interest in serving themselves and the rich.

No but I'm living in a reality where these things don't phase me. I'm 25, earn a good wage so I don't have to stress about tax, drive in the speed limit so I don't worry about cameras and couldn't give a rats arse what colour my bin is. I'm working my way towards moving abroad in a few years too, for reasons of my own but trust me I won't look back with such resentment and write sermons on forums of the evils of the Weston world. just except it and move on because all this ranting preaching isn't good for you.

You should be more worried about Vodaphone; IKEA; Amazon; Boots; Starbucks...the list goes on, paying the £85billion they owe in corporation tax.

You sir! Are the first person I've seen on this message board to say that. You are completely right. Tax fraud dwarves the benefit bill. That extra £85billion (provably more than that) could do wonders for our country. But there's too much corruption.
