@afneil Yeah, all of that lasted for all 3652 days of the 70s and all mostly affected the poorest didn't it Andrew!!!! Actually, 98% only on 'unearned' income for the very wealthiest, so do try something entirely new for you and tell the whole truth!! Twat!!!
You will notice that from 1900-1960 taxes were lower but tax receipts were higher.
That's because Tax Havens didn't exist.
Now the richest 1% with nearly 50% of the money choose to pay almost no tax.
Britain has the dirtiest rivers, the most expensive energy, the least reliable trains, the most overcrowded prisons, the worst access to healthcare and the widest gap between rich and poor in all of Europe. If you want a verdict on 40 years of neoliberalism, there it is.

@MilesTrav Yanks (some, far from all) are rich solely because you have a large country chock full of natural resources (pure luck) and a huge internal market to exploit said resources...
@B30_603@Moveslikemilan Your system where 600,000 go bankrupt annually due to medical bills....that's if they're not a victim of one of the hundreds of mass shootings every year in the good ol' USA...what a shithole your country is!!!
@MilesTrav You do talk bollocks!!! President Paedo, spray cheese, 600k medical care bankruptcies annually, mass shootings, rampant obesity, total lack of geographical understanding etc etc
The Nazis were socialist because they had โsocialistโ in their name in the same way that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a democracy and buffalo wings are made from buffalo.

I need someone to explain to me why it is always โif you canโt pay rent, stop buying fast food, avocado toast, and lattesโ and not โif you canโt pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer private jets, yachts, and mansions.โ Explain it to me like I am in kindergarten.
One of the biggest myths about socialism is that it means taxation.
Socialism does not mean higher taxes or even more government.
Socialism means workers own the means of production and the economy is run to meet human need, not to generate corporate profit.
Nigel Farage is a one trick pony. His divisive and inflammatory comments about immigration is all he has.
Is it any wonder he wonโt want you to know that net migration has fallen by 82% since its peak under the conservatives and small boat crossings are down by approximately 40% so far in 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
LETS MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC KNOW THE REAL FACTS
Start renationalising them - without any compensation - and claw back the outrageous, effective theft of money and assets that were owned by the UK taxpayer .
