  1. the boycott is an excellent idea.

    Not directly related, but driven by the same situation, is why a Wealth Tax - as they have in France and many other proper countries - is never even considered in the UK. Properly structured, it enables you not to have prohibitive levels of tax on income or inheritance: you simply take a (very small) percentage of total wealth each year.

    The fact that 1% own 70% in the UK has, of course, nothing to do with its unpopularity with our masters and their cronies

  2. That's a good question and as I don't know the definitive answer I shall have to speculate that the absernce of any consideration of a wealth tax is in some way related to the fact that 23 of the 29 members of the Cabinet were millionaries.

    Actually this figure may be out of date as David Laws has already had to resign.
