It is not the idea of hiding it but protecting your identity, it is a public forum and your data is useful for many other things beyond spam email.well i pay 400 pounds tax and NI each months so nothing to hide in there...sweden and norway deduct more taxes bbut their pay rate is also much higher and social welfare sytem and living standard much better than UK

Living standard depends on where you live in the UK. Leaving out London and its core status, if you are in the more immigrant lands then you have terrible standards to similar immigrant societies in Scandinavian countries due to their own mentality and less to do with the UK government. Muslims as such are really scum in the UK where even fellow Muslims arent safe from their discrimination. Move to the less immigrant occupied neighbourhoods and things improve.
However, the advantage of free healthcare and good public transportation is something that is taken for granted in the UK.
