        Look at the USA. There are rich, middle and poor. And an underclass.

        Quite a few Breciters want a return to Victorian times. Britain ruled most of the earth yet most of its citizens lived in abject poverty.

        MPs with their vastly inflated salaries(since 1996) just don't care.

            The U.K. already has an underclass. Look at the increase in homeless, in use of food banks, in zero-hours contracts, in the “just about managing”s, in issues with Universal Credit. Austerity has hit the people that were least able to cope.

            And that’s with the current regulations and worker protections that we have.

            We’re not Brexiting to increase the protections to the vulnerable.

              so that's a 'yes' then.

              oh, well

                But looking on the bright side The Tory Scum have done a fine job of fecking up you Tax Avoiders, far better than Dim Dawn ever did.

                Vote Tory for A Better Deal for the 1%ers.

                The rest of us can go hang.
                When the fun stops, STOP.

                  To be brutally honest mate, if we want the services in this country then we're all going to have to start paying more tax. Let's take a leaf out of Sweden's book for example. Taxation in Sweden.

                  When I first started as a contractor, I had a limited company because that was the only way that agencies would deal with me, not because of any tax incentives.

                    Not worse, just long lasting.

                    After 1937 markets took 17 years to recover their previous highs. The roaring twenties pumped assets to stupid levels just like where we are now.

                    However, if you're without debts and have a hoard of cash, well then smile cause you're about to pick up some bargains.

                      Or indeed avoid voting for people who drag the country into pointless conflicts.

                      People will never learn mind. So yes, increase taxes.
