The retirement package being, earn as much as you can, send as much money as you can home and spend as little as you can in the UK. Then retire home and live a luxury life with said monies from the UK. This is common knowledge where I live and is spoken about quite openly.

And so many stats from my area showing more money is leaving than coming in.

Hmm, maybe people are allowed opinions without being called 'twat'.
To clarify, I live in an area where social deprivation is rife and the local community needs every penny it can get. There are publicly available stats that show there is literally millions of pounds leaving through the area via banks to other countries.
So, yes when I see shops closing, deprivation getting more rife because of people from other countries taking the money out and quite openly declaring it's for their retirement, I do get pissed off.
FYI I voted to remain and really do enjoy living in a multicultural country and have led a long and very happy married life with an Asian lady and our mixed heritage kids.
In regards to the large companies that come here and pay relatively fuck all in taxes, that pisses me off too. -
Reading the posts above, I can't help but think, that maybe we'd be better off without people coming here to milk the country. Maybe I'm misinterpreting the above posts of people leaving for better prospects, but people who come to the UK become a citizen only to gain the benefits of a UK passport pisses me off. Please feel free to come to live here and input into making us a better off country, but don't milk us for a retirement package.

Let me know what you think when you've finished.

I've just finished the last Lisbeth Salander (as in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo") book "The Girl in the Spiders Web" by David Lagercranz (carrying on from Stieg Larsonn). Excellent story line but he's spoilt the character by 'bigging' her up, you know making all subtleties a bit in yer face. Good but not quite Carling.

"Galumphing along".....excellent description and now my phrase of the day. I hope I get to call out someone for galumphing along today.

This makes me laugh a deep pirate laugh.

If he's not inputting into the Anerican system and milking it, then yes. Just because he's a Brit doesn't make it right.
