Our taxes.

You jump ship abroad, moving your business abroad and then suddenly develop a terminal or long-lasting illness, does that give you an automatic right to get health care from a country you haven't been paying taxes to for X amount of years?
If my NI contributions are paid up and I am a British citizen then clearly yes. Personally speaking, I wouldn't, but I object to having my citizenship, xx amount of tax years and more of NI contributions counting for nothing (for at least six months) if I wish to return, ill or not.

Incidentally, not all British people living in other countries are stinking rich and own their own businesses and many didn't go to 'jump ship', as you so pleasantly put it, but because that was where the work took them.
 
In the unlikely event of a formal Tory-UKIP coalition after the election, and Farage (assuming he wins in Thanet South) being allowed to join the cabinet as part of the price for his support, what ministerial role can we see for him?

Minister for Women and Equal Opportunities?
