Now we need to fix the SoEs or get rid of them, wipe out all corruption and get our debt levels down like Trevor did. It's going to be a long process.

We pay 23% VAT and the UK slightly less. Yous guys are lucky.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Remind me about all the things we pay for that people get for free on that end. Education, medical, a proper state pension, decent public transport, there must be more. Oh and what about the things you don't need at all like armed response, burglar bars, electric fences, a car... Looking at value for tax money it really sucks here. For now of course, Squirrel will be fixing things up slowly but surely.

Plus we get huge discounts when 65 years old like half price for public transport. Plus tax deductions at year end for medication, groceries, utilities, rent etc. Anything you buy or pay for you are asked for your tax number and it gets entered on your personal tax work page. Just rubbing your nose in it.  :))
Even with the high VAT, food is still cheaper here though.

I see EE have released an app....
If by app you mean their mobile site, sure. Methinks their funds are drying up.

See Cyril the squirrel had to compromise on choosing his cabinet. Suppose he will have to wait for the election and then purge the deadwood when we end up with a coalition government next year
