The UK is a democracy with the rule of law.

I do believe it became one back again since Tony blair left power.

France is also a rich country, just like the UK.

And France doesn't bitch constantly about immigrants coming from it's neighbors.

British people elected Thatcher three times partly because she focused on home ownership.

Well since elections where hinted to be at least partly rigged under tony blair i can't help but wonder for how long that thing really went on. There is also the fact that : - Some people get elected to do one thing and then do the contrary (frequent) - Some people have no credible alternative (or they're all even 10x worse)

People can vote and use the law,

They can... Now. But you don't change 20y of habits over a couple years. Poland still look east worryfull. Russians still act like their phone is taped everytime there are cracking noises. US citizens frequently talk about gitmo & how they "killed browns & towelheads in iraq". "Jet fuel can't melt steel beams". People still joke in france that "Ils sont tous pourris sans exception" (everyone's corrupt. no exception). It's not just going away instantly that past.

France is not a warzone. Nobody needs to escape France as a refugee.

haha i fully agree. I just point out that you got people who still act like they were acting 10y ago. Keeping everyone cool is probably for the best. Police going off hand would just be tossing gasoline on the fire.

Who from France is hiding their money in the UK out of interest? Any links?

The city, for tax fraud.

Any links

https://www.google.com/search?q=Europe+tax+evasion+in+london And ireland And luxembourg etc. It's why i'd love so much to see the UK cooperate in tax fraud ; to avoid such safe heavens where they park their undeclared and illegitimate assets.

then that is a job for the French government and legislature.

But we can't just walk in in Ireland or the UK or Luxembourg & act without the local gov's agreement to at least some degree.
