Alfie says 'Enough is Enough'

Alfie (Sir Michael Caine) is threatening to move to America over the new tax regime in the UK. He's had enough of getting stiffed as a top end taxpayer.

We've got three and a half million layabouts laying about on benefits and I'm 76 getting up at six o'clock in the morning to go to work to keep them.

Indeed. Mirroring NZ's bludgers.

He also spoke of his frustration with the Government, which he described as "rotten" and said that he was "not a fan" of the Prime Minister.

"A political party that's in too long is like a piece of meat – if it's there too long it will go rotten and they've gone rotten and they've got to go," he said.

Rotten to the core.

The point about him [Gordon Brown] is he's never been elected by anybody. I'm supposed to be in a country where I get the chance to elect someone and I've been around here at the most dangerous of times led by a man who's never been elected by anybody.

Undemocratic representation is at the heart of the issue.
