And Ballvalve. Your guys arrived way way late in the war. Less than 400,000 lost their lives (50 million died in Europe). And it was not an act of generosity on your part. Pearl Harbor had nothing to do with the war in Europe. You simply wanted to protect your freedom from the Japanese. Not ours from the Germans.

You entered the war not to save our freedom but to protect your own.

As I understand your plan, it involves getting a government paid higher education in Great Britain, escaping the lack of opportunities and high taxes in GB by finding high paid work in the US, paying the relatively lower US taxes on your relatively high US income while not paying GB taxes,, and then at retirement moving back to GB to take advantage of GBs health system, etc when you have a lower income to be taxed.

This is awkward, but...
