Brits are free to go to Cuba if they want.  You don't have the freedom to
live elsewhere without paying US income tax.

BTW, the living conditions and level of prosperity you have described in
your own personal circumstances would aggravate me indeed, if I thought that
any of my relatives would be reduced to it.  I am afraid that last remark is
going to come off differently than I intend it.  I do have sympathy for your
situation, and it's not a standard I would aspire to for my loved ones.
