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.
Travellersuzy42Another supremely wealthy individual being overwhelmed by the thought of parting with another penny to support our stretched services. No loss
Pez dorado24Tax any and all UK-held assets. Doesn't matter where he lives after that.
El Topo21Third fattest tick on the dog has transferred to a different dog...
People like this are no loss. They don’t invest in the country or their community. They hoard wealth or stash it offshore. Good riddance
Cherry18wow 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
Chris Gallen12He can fuck off. Like all billionaires he’s selfish and money obsessed.
Tony Dexter6He's a nasty little man. Take, take, take
Verminous Scot6More money than he can spend in 2 lifetimes,the amount he pays in tax/yr is a drop in the ocean to him & is probably less comparably than the average taxpayer,these khunts don't want to contribute they just want to keep hoarding wealth so I hope the door hits his arse hard on the way out #TaxTheRich
Knitting Cat3His ‘worth’ is zero. He may have money but like most tax dodging greedy millionaires he is a hollow shell devoid of anything worthwhile.
Redcol2Good riddance They can all fuck off
Jonathan Roberts2Another classic example of “Dragons hoarding gold threaten to move and hoard their gold somewhere else” genre.
Dughlas2It's such a weird media idea that some creep with more money than they could ever spend. moving somewhere else to fuck about with people's lives, is >Sadface<. Who cares? Why are we supposed to care about these freaks- feudalism? Let others join him.
Grenobob2I want to live in a country that has no billionaires.
"Britain’s third-highest taxpayer to leave country amid budget fears" Times front page Chris Rokos, the hedge fund tycoon. Good riddance.
Bob C3Can I also suggest tax the pricks as they leave.
Into The JennyVerse2aye. he can get in the sea.
truthntransparency.bsky.social1Very simple: Chris Rokos doesn't want to help with social safetynets, healthcare, public infrastructure for people of Britain; he should be treated like the selfiah prick he is; & heckled every minute. Every company and product/service he is associated with should be CANCELED by every decent Brit.
Observer owl1Good F off! These disgusting ppl milk the system then run away when have to cough up! They never had our countries best interest and not interested in reinvesting! Leave lets see where else in the world they will get the tax relief they had in the uk! All ppl like this hold us to ransom 🖕🏼
NevereverDave.bsky.social1£330m paid to treasury annually.
Danielle Williams1Nice when the rubbish takes itself out.
1/3 Bloomberg: "While the move (by a hedge fund founder to leave the UK for Greece,) represents a significant win for Greece, it comes as a major blow for the UK." I think we can be a little skeptical about how much of a blow this is to the British. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Michael Pettis232/3 The real wealth of the UK (like that of every other country) is the total value of goods and services produced in the country. The defection of a billionaire may be spectacular, but it only makes the UK poorer if it causes the overall productivity of British workers to decline.
Simon Johnson🇺🇦2He's one of the top 3 payers of income tax, there is $300m/yr of income tax revenues to replace
I'm sure Athens is lovely, but isn't the whole point of having $4 billion in the bank that you can afford to live in London? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
LondonDiscuss1Greece is nice TBF. A bit hot in the summer mind..
John Doyle1They want more. They want immunity from everything. They will go to a place they can buy it.
Macronin1London 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...
Will Davies39One 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
Simon James2One 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).
SeaDogMariner 🇬🇧🏴🇪🇺1£330m in UK or £100k in Greece, of course he’s buggering off!!
