Giles Wilkes @gilesyb.bsky.social · 10/06/2025superb work hereTax Justice Network@taxjustice.netThe UK govt softened tax reforms on the superrich because of a widely reported “exodus” of millionaires fleeing the UK. Our new study w/ @patmillsuk.bsky.social & @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social shows that the "exodus" was a complete fiction. #BogusExodus #TaxTheSuperRich taxjustice.net/press/millio...taxjustice.netMillionaire exodus did not occur, study reveals - Tax Justice NetworkThe number of millionaires widely reported in the news to be leaving countries in "exodus" represented near-0% of all millionaires. 42310
William Wright @williamw1.bsky.social · 10/06/2025Who could possibly have predicted that research by someone who said this would turn out to be complete bollocks? 010
Claire Hartnell @cjhartnell.bsky.social · 10/06/2025To be honest, it’s all just free advertising for these awful people. They will be loving the attention. I would rather this report addressed the real problem - which is false reporting & lack of editorial oversight (or deliberate editorial scaremongering). Wasn’t there a time when this was not ok? 000
Giles Wilkes @gilesyb.bsky.social · 10/06/2025I'm not saying some millionaire exodus is impossible, but it feels like one of those urban myths - you don't know one yourself, but your mate's mate does. Same with swans breaking someone's arm. Never happened. But a lot of mates' mates have suffered this www.countrylife.co.uk/out-and-abou...countrylife.co.ukCurious Questions: Can a swan really break your arm?We’ve all heard the famous old wives' tale – but is there any truth to it, or is it merely a ploy to keep small fingers away from snapping beaks?
