>Cut your take home pay expectations by 60-70% as the government will take a huge chunk of your income.

20%-30% on average.

>Assume you'll struggle to heat your home because the UK has the highest energy costs in the world.

This really isn't the lived reality for most people in the UK.

>Assume you won't be have access to healthcare unless on your deathbed and you won't be able to afford private because the above.

No idea where this assumption is coming from. Free universal healthcare is the default and access is easy, even through the NHS.

>If you're happy with this lifestyle then you might be able to find a QA engineer job in the UK for £30,000

Utter nonsense. I won't deny, decent QA jobs are becoming more difficult to find but the average salary is at least double that.
