Morning, all,

it’s good that #HMG has chartered aircraft to help British “ex-pats”* escape the active war-zone now engulfing the Gulf states. That stands in stark contrast to Desperate Don’s regime, which has sloped shoulders, telling U.S. citizens to find their own way home.

* Britons living abroad are always ex-pats. Never immigrants.

But it would be interesting to learn whether these Brits, many of whom were political podcasters and influencers attracted to the region more by the ability to evade paying tax than by the sun, sea and sand, are recompensing British taxpayers (who they presumably see as stupid losers) for their flight to safety.

@PhilipCJames They should all be billed for the cost of their rescue depending on how long they've been out there. Bloody Ex-Pats, coming back here like they own the place!

@PhilipCJames Ah, good to see the taxes they didn’t pay being put to good use.
