    By buying up North you are depriving the State revenue. I just hope if you are ever on a hospital trolley that you have a conscience that the money you paid for your equipment is going to the British taxpayer and their hospitals. Maybe if you like the UK so much and since you are contributing to their tax revenue then you should move there. People like you will be the first to complain when there are cuts in services.

    Doesn't really have much to do with the topic in question. maybe try posting that sort of stuff in an economics forum somewhere.

    Back to the topic at hand, people!

    Pity we do not have harmonisation of vat using the lower vat rate on freesat boxes. The state would not then deprive itself of revenue :)
