    Syntax a bit convoluted there, so to spell it out in stark terms:

    Anyone expecting even the smallest legacy from their aged Ps when these pop off, or from their sugar daddy, or from wherever, would have to be barking mad to vote for Corbyn.

    If Corbyn & co get in, then before long inheritance tax will double or more, and be levied on the whole estate. It's a complete sitting duck.

              As someone under 50, with wealth over a million, I for one won't be rooting for Comrad Corbyn! I'll be voting for the safest hands around at the moment ... the Monster Raving Loony Party

                Good. Sounds like your self centred twatishness is reaping what it's sown. Has anyone suggested to you that saving some of your income and investing it might result in cumulative and passive income which could be used to bridge the gap between your aspirations and reality?

                    Nah - it's everyone else's fault. Although I believe he's generation X (in line for 5% return, the greedy bastard that he is), he does behave like a millenial. Probably corrupted by his kids.

                      No doubt the Millennials won't bother to pay for anything but just be very offended on some generations behalf.

                      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
