That's true enough Shan.......................but of course, that's entirely the problem.
The toffs feck the world over, society in the UK falling apart, child poverty, huge quantities of food banks around, over 1000 last I heard. Young people mainly in dead-end jobs that aren't even permanent enough to qualify for a mortgage, kids living with their parents, they can't escape, any wonder mental health issues are multiplying.
Every idiot in the country utterly convinced the UK PLC can't afford healthcare, education etc. etc. even though we can bomb as many countries in the Middle East as we decree are worthy of receiving our bombs.
Meanwhile, the well to do continue to consider taxation an inconvenience they can do without and generally do not pay.
Financial prostitute countries like Switzerland & Ireland have nothing to learn from the UK, the world specialist at producing tax havens in former colonies and crown dependencies, the previous PM's father ran an offshore tax scheme for a company that never paid a single penny of UK tax FFFS.
So, no Shan ................ no surprise at all. Doesn't make the leeches who want the poor to fund the services they enjoy any more palatable or worthy of anything approaching respect for their greedy wealth. That Louis Hamilton is a proper cun't, I hope he crashes his F1 car, or any other car, his private jet, whatever and dies ......... the parasite.
