Money made through private enterprise Mark, where did Starmers come from ?? You seen the recent comparison of incomes and tax paid  for Sunak and Starmer 🤔if I were Starmer I’d be buying my accountant a drink.  

They're both rotters with good accountants:

Seen it Mark, absolutely disgusting but unfortunately it is and has been a part of political life regardless of the party for years bud. I’ll easy put up a few of the lucrative deals former Labour/LibDem politicians have garnered for themselves, the entire Kinnock tribe for starters.

It is disgusting, what do you think should be done to stop it happening in the future?

🤷‍♂️No  idea Mark, but I do think the current pressure on normal working people/ families and the profit generated from them is unsustainable. Sadly as we saw in the last few years there is a tendency just to take it in the UK without much opposition etc as opposed to the way the French are currently kicking off. Not much will change if and when Labour get their spell at the helm neither imo.

I agree with all of that. The French have a history of toppling their leaders, is that something you think we should be doing? If we did, who should we call upon to govern us?

No Mark whilst the protests do stir up a lot of attention I’d say the idea of full on anarchy is not that appealing,  I’ve no  idea who we should call on but democracy is as they say the least worst option etc. The current bunch running things are poor that’s for sure and the full on profit at all cost capitalist model is most definitely not working out too well I’d say, at least not here in the UK as we seem to have low tax capitalism for some individuals and businesses at the very top but high tax and stifling regs etc for those small to medium size business and self employed at the bottom or anyone trying to make something of their lives. Im starting to see a lot of good hard working lads start to wonder wtf is the point at the min with current levels of taxation and costs etc. The BOE answer to this is looking like a very poor solution right now too. Think it’s time to buy some more kit rather than have money sitting around, or a few sovereigns pikey style
