Will stories like this have an impact on the UK voters? I don't' know. They seem to be in a daze of stupidity. They are in a dream world. I sure hope the voters take notice and kick Gordon Brown and the whole lot of the Labor Party out.
Just my view from the other side of the pond.

For interesting read substitute California where you find UK. The result is the same - businesses leaving! Alternatively, substitute "The USA" where you find "UK" -- that's the way it will be in a few months.

Bam will be making sure the US tax rates will beat California’s and Britian’s. I hope these folks don’t make the mistake of coming over here to avoid punishing taxation.

This happened before in the 60s and 70s when their mega rock and roll stars moved out because the government was bleeding them white.
