An insulting missive, directly from Stockholm case notes.

Seventeen years after the red-braces-brigade crashed the global economy and for which the cash printing presses were fired up, rather than the opening of the greatest opportunity ever for the gallows industry, working-class people are still being presented with forever-bills.

This is an epic con which was and is still being perpetrated on an epic scale, and one which very few thought would be so easy.

Seventeen years later, and we (not the bastard offspring of Patty Hearst, obvs) are still politely asking the blisteringly wealthy to chip a couple of quid.

"It is a world of common good with mutual investment; a vision of socialism without get-out clauses."

[The Weeping Angel]

Whatever, but if you want functioning public services then you're going to have to pay your bit. I mean, there's an irony that ifReeves raises income tax since Denis Healey and the response of a lot of left-wingers has been to say tax is theft and can't somebody else pay for it. Talking of Healey.

Contrary to what people think, the wealthy don't have all the wealth hidden in a vault like Scrooge McDuck.
