Socialism has died under the Labour government
According to Newsnight tonight, the rich have got richer and the poor have got poorer under a Labour government. So much for so-called socialism. Whatever Blair was he wasn't a socialist. He chose not to tax the super rich non-domiciles. Apparently, their status goes back to the Napoleon War and it was decided that plantation owners were exempt from the 2/- in the £ income tax. I think it is time that this piece of history remains history, and the super rich of today get taxed the same as everybody else. I don't suppose I will hear the bastards getting hit in the pocket in the budget tomorrow. No doubt Darling will announce measures which make the poor even poorer still and the rich even richer still.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
