oh in that case there are exceptions for seasonal and low income workers
(quarterly and annual caps for that).  Depending on how much it is that
could make it all ok to pay from the US side, and generally on them to
remit to the UK authorities since you cant do the PAYE stuff.  

The problem is that its like $600/year or $200/quarter or something
silly like that.

lawmakers are involved, the ones that generate the budgets (house of
rep. in the US makes the budget and controls spending on a federal
level).  Do you really think they care if its easy as long as they get
their protection money?
