Lest we forget that Mussolini identified as socialist & founded the fascist party upon leaving the socialist party. The ideology of the left has committed more evil than any other, the ideology that you appear to align with. How many butchered in the name of the red flag?
You mean the ones spawned from socialism & the ideology of the left. Anti capitalist who believed the state should control the banks, health, media, housing & the means of production. The only difference he chose to divide by race instead of class.
@GNev2 not one mention of Maguire cowering & ducking instead of jumping and blocking the shot. Unforgivable for a strapping centre back to be scared of the ball and blocking a shot.
@N_landCouncil apparently an neighbour was told to remove stones from the road as it was “blocking the public highway” yet when I requested the potholes on the road to be repaired was told “sorry we can’t help, it’s a private road”, how can it be both public & private?
Last time I checked migration impacted the cost of housing more than rich people using jets. From 1997 to 2001 the average UK house price went from 2.2x the average salary to 6x the average salary purely due to the demand of mass migration. It today stands at 8.5 the avg salary.
The private sector pre dates the state sector, it existed long before there were governments & private enterprise would exist long after a government fell. A service in exchange for compensation is not an invention of state. Parasites like you just live of the backs of others.
@Rod__Mason The public sector contributes around £100B in tax every year and that money goes back round to fund the public sector. Of course the private sector makes a vast contribution, but public sector workers pay into the private sector as consumers. False dichotomy.
The state has no money other than what it generates from taxation or borrows against our savings & private assets. Without the private sector the state would have no money to fund the public sector to penny pinch a bit back.

Public sector productivity has pretty much stayed static since the 90s, they day the majority of it including parasitic MPs like yourself are replaced by AI saving the tax payer significant sums will be a welcome day.
I have no intention of having my labour or my assets funding socialists because they are too stupid to be able to create money for themselves. I choose to feed my family, not the state or parasites that live a life of subsidy.
75% of the public want a 2% tax on wealth in excess of £10 million
@TheGreenParty is the only party proposing a wealth tax
All the other parties oppose taxing wealth. They want to “balance the books” by cutting public spending, which will harm millions of not rich people
I’m not wealthy, but do own my home. That home is to be sold & I am using the money to move to a country that doesn’t tax you to the hilt. I have no intention of living in socialist utopia of everyone being equally poor & state dependant.

You see taxing assets devalues them, the only people who can afford them are the wealthy & they don’t want assets with punitive taxes. Millionaires are leaving in droves. One thing wealthy people can do is leave, they did in the 70s & will again. Back to a 33% base rate?

If for example all U.K. billionaires were cash rich & not asset rich & you taxed them at 100% you would glean £670b. This would pay the welfare bill for just over 2 years with no budget increase. It could fund the NHS for just over 3 years with no budget increases.

How many people are actually cash rich as opposed to asset rich? If they aren’t cash rich, how do they pay the tax? Forcing them to sell an asset requires someone with money to buy it. It in effect becomes a punitive tax on assets which will devalue them.

They used that tactic back in 1989 & in 2013 making claims about the ice melting & sea levels rising. The arctic isn’t ice free and the sea hasn’t risen. Every prophecy of doom in the last 50 years has been proven false over the course of time.
“The Arctic is currently warming at four times the rate experienced by the rest of the planet. But the Antarctic has started to catch up, so that it is already warming twice as quickly as the planet overall.” https://t.co/gTDinE6ClH
No time to waste. #ActOnClimate#climate
Lest we forget the last Labour NHS IT system that cost the tax payer around £12b & it never worked. Another example of the inept public sector, like the cost of avoidable negligence in the NHS. Ineptitude throughout the sector with the taxpayer as underwriter.
Good. Building genuine tech sovereignty means using public procurement to build up British alternatives.
It’s funny to me that right-wingers get up in arms about Palantir in particular. Imv they are doing exactly the reflexive culture war politics they accuse their critics of.
I love when idiotic left winger don’t grasp that AI will replace “low level human capital” who tend to be “working class”. Given the low productivity & poor financial management of the public sector, this procurement will no doubt increase the tax burden.
