Rioting in England over the summer has contributed to an increase in the number of wealthy people considering leaving Britain, a Lloyds TSB International Wealth survey said Monday.
The survey of 1,057 people said 17 percent of those with more than 250,000 pounds of savings and investments wanted to move overseas in the next two years, up from 14 percent six months ago.
Sixty-one percent of those actively considering an overseas move said crime and antisocial behaviour was the key reason to leave. This reflected concerns caused by riots in London and other major cities in August.
"Sadly it seems August's riots, tax increases and a rising cost of living have cast a pall over life in the UK for some wealthy people," Nicholas Boys Smith, Managing Director of Lloyds TSB International Wealth, said in a statement.
That rioting has given the English citizens a big reflection.I think the English government should pay attention to this issue.Think more about young people.作者: tingroom 时间: 2011-10-12 16:11
