That’s why they are lefties..and probably pretty poor!

Why would they forego the means of generating the wealth they have created here to go abroad which has to date accrued to over a million pounds? You’re making the assumption that these are inherently easily transferable. If they were already in a position to do so they would have done so already. A windfall tax of 1% per year for 5 years is unlikely to change those numbers substantially.
I’m not sure who you are insulting by calling them “lefties” and “probably pretty poor”. It’s certainly an unhelpful and unwelcome contribution to a discussion about taxation.
