Question

Why is it that 9 out of ten of Gt Britains richest are foreingers?

Answer 1

Because of people like wheeliebin fleeing the country (heh heh).

Answer 2

Perhaps they have learnt to spell before they ask stupid questions.

Answer 3

Because in their own countries, they tend to ask difficult questions, like "where did the money come from" here you'll find most people will turn a blind eye to a foreigner with a couple of billion.

Answer 4

It wasn't 9 out of ten. Maybe they just work harder and don't spend all their money on buying islands in the Caribbean. Lateral thinking must play a large part in making a fortune, and lateral thinking is not something which Brits are accustomed to. Anyway, what is a foreigner? Someone who doesn't have a British passport, or someone who's great-grandparents came to live in the UK?

Answer 5

A lot of British people are too lazy to make money.

I am British, and I am so annoyed that some people are so lazy. People from India etc. who are in poverty and have ambition to become rich but some Britons keep moaning that there lives are ruined by foreigners and that they are being exploited.

Answer 6

They work harder, maybe.

Answer 7

Check out how many have made insurance claims after their businesses mysteriously went up in flames...

Answer 8

Are they actually foreign? Or do they just have what you think is 'foreign sounding names'?  I mean how can you be on Britain's richest people list unless you are actually British?  

People get on that list through hard work and it obviously pays off very well.

Answer 9

I have a feeling it is because they have a better attitude to business and work so much harder than most of us.

Answer 10

They get let off paying taxes here, our millionaires go abroad for the same reason.

Answer 11

maybe they work harder, don't you think?

Answer 12

They are not ours.

They just popped by for tea and biscuits with her maj. and missed the last boat home.

Answer 13

because they can spell [foreingers?]

Answer 14

Because they don't have to pay tax basically.

It annoys me because most of them are rich through what are illegal activities here, so it is quite irritating!

And they bring unwanted gang land action to our shores!

Answer 15

Because 9 out of 10 are foreigner's! That's why I live in Australia now! Over here we are the foreigner's! lol.

Answer 16

don't worry there are plenty of British millionaires, they just live overseas

Answer 17

What do you all really know about Lakshmi Mittal? Let me tell you. He is a steel magnate. You don't become rich by selling cheap. He owns a steel company in the Island of Trinidad where I now live. The price of steel is horrendous here and rises every day. I am trying to build a steel roof and the beams have doubled in price in a year and risen by 20% in a week. Once again, you don't get rich by selling cheap and to h**l with the poor man. (or Cat).

Mrs Grohl. Mr. Mittal lives in Britain, but is not a citizen. He is Indian. Check Link and a very large Labour Party contributer.
