Why leave the UK?

Given the political and economic climate in the uk it certainly seemed a good time to jump ship for a couple of years. We have a prime minister who was not elected by us, he has mismanaged the economy to such a degree that we are going to be lucky if we can escape bankruptcy as a nation and the only hope is that his scorched earth policies are reversed as soon as possible by Cameron and Osbourne. The next few years are going to be extremely tough in the uk as the government attempts to get to grips with the appalling mess that he will leave behind. I could go on about what I think of the education system, the NHS & the welfare state and particularly the vast and eye watering sums of money that this government has thrown at these areas but with no real improvement in services, and all the time allowing the budget deficit to increase, but I will leave that for another day. Radio 5 Live are reporting this morning that petrol will go above the £5 per gallon mark again in the next week or so, It is worth noting that of that of the average price per litre in the uk of £1.08 for unleaded petrol without the taxes this would cost 45.2 pence per litre - the tax represents 65% of the price - In saudi we have just filled up our car - it takes 70 ltrs and cost us SAR 43 (at an exchange rate of about 6SAR to the £ that works out at £7.16 to fill up or about 10 pence per litre) and the petrol station gave us 3 free packets of tissues to thank us for our custom (Bizarre) - Now I know that we are in an oil producing country but I cannot help feeling that in the uk we are all getting royally ripped off and no one is complaining - after all the price of petrol effects the price of everything that we buy!. Happy motoring in the UK!
