You have missed the point Jimmy. When I worked in the Middle East I had a tax-free salary and I considered myself to be outside the sphere of interest of the British Government. When they told me to go back to the UK I said Bloody Cheek, I live and work in Riyadh and I will stay there and do my job. When they said send your family home, I asked my wife and she said No way, I am staying, if it starts going pearshaped we can think again. So we all stayed put.
If it had gone pearshaped there were many alternative survival strategies. People working abroad need to realise that the government has better things to do than bail them out of trouble.
