Sorry to hear you're leaving...

So, a drug company's leaving town to avoid paying taxes? Dare I say profit comes first? No surely not, not when it comes to drug companies. After all, they want people to get better: don't they?


Talking of profits, isn't this one of those companies that fleeces the National Health Service by charging exorbitant prices for new-fangled drugs, which then cause all sorts of iatrogenic illnesses, which then lead to further problems that require further expensive drugs, and which then lead to the person being off work and costing even more in lost production and increased care? Now let's see, what would be more beneficial? Hang on a minute while I do the maths...

By the way, not to seem totally unbenevolent, I found a really great place where the company could take its drug-making outfit: it's called the Kerguelen Islands and it's really nice there...
