So recently the British government has been busy removing citizenship from unfavoured people (potentially illegally in some cases). I don't personally approve, but let's just run with the fact it is done. So, Sir James Ratcliffe, UK's richest person and CEO of Ineos, has recently skipped off to Monaco residency so he doesn't have to pay tax. Why are we not stripping people like him of citizenship?
At bare minimum, take his knighthood away. If he wants to do businesses in the UK, have some properties here, pop back for theatre trips and to hob-nob with his billionaire buddies in expensive London restaurants, fine. But why the hell should we spend our time and resources on these greedy, self-absorbed tossers for whom £12.7 billion apparently just isn't enough, and don't think it's their job to contribute to the running of the state like anyone else? Just as even more context here, Twatcliffe supported Brexit. Now, Brexit done, he's promptly fucked off out of the country to a place which is de facto (if not de jure) in the EU. Honestly, if these guys don't think they owe us social responsibilities and cut us out, let us do the same in return.
As a note here, I do not extend this idea to people who get jobs abroad. I certainly do to people who want to leave their business and money-making in the UK, and then just carry out tax-evasion.
