Billionaire Chris Rokos to quit UK over tax rises
Chris Rokos. He’ll be donating to Reform next but Britain is well rid. - Funded Cameron in run up to 2015 election. Thereby funding library and youth club closures, cuts to school budgets, armed forces/local authority budgets. Huge growth in corridor care & overcrowded prisons.
Another supremely wealthy individual being overwhelmed by the thought of parting with another penny to support our stretched services. No loss
Tax any and all UK-held assets. Doesn't matter where he lives after that.
Third fattest tick on the dog has transferred to a different dog...
wow he had to pay tax like anyone else has too, I work hard and pay tax, no reason he should not pay tax too xx

They want more. They want immunity from everything. They will go to a place they can buy it.
London needs to earn its place. It isn't assumed, and it is losing traction. There are network effects, and they are eroding. The point is, if you are a billionaire, you can chose to live anywhere. He is choosing to leave. Before this is celebrated think about what all Britons lose.
if i didn't like paying that much tax, I would simply pay myself less money www.theguardian.com/news/2026/se...
One of Piketty's most incisive arguments in favour of mid-20th century income tax rates is that they rendered very high incomes pointless, thereby forcing elites into other (potentially more socially beneficial) forms of status competition
One way of knowing that there are too many billionaires is when there are billionaires who no one has ever heard of (until they do something like this, of course).
£330m in UK or £100k in Greece, of course he’s buggering off!!
