Durrrr - When it is the highest taxation in the world that may be a big deciding factor in emigrating in the first place? (Sit & work out just how much tax you REALY pay - not just income. VAT Road fine - I mean fund, Duty on Alcohol, tobacco, ALL fuel (not just road), insurance tax)
Why not an immigration tax? Not that the tax payers would receive any benefit from that!

Try making Britan a more attractive place to live by lowering taxes and other things. If you make it better to live there, people won't want to leave.

Short answer - No. More want to come in than go out. Its one of the top countries in the world. I can't see why you are saying this - some more information would allow us to give better answers

No! More should be done to persuade people from leaving!
Drop or increase IHT allowances
Return tax relief on dividends within PEP/ISAs
Increase everyone's tax allowance to £12,000

No. Instead there should be a debate on WHY people are leaving the country.

No, gawd no, then the likes of Beckham and his strange wife would not go to the US, nor Blair to the Murdoch News Corp in New York.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, please keep silent on these silly ideas.
