can you imagine getting a cup of coffee and the price was dependant upon your wealth. or subscribing to a newspaper and the subscription being dependant upon how much you could afford.

It depends which meaning you take for the word "subscribe". Buying a coffee isn't a subscription, some berk was on here earlier today complaining about people misusing words...

The amount of taxation on that spend is dependant on your wealth.

So yes, I can imagine that.

As much as it's fun to see Labour crash and burn, we do need to have an effective opposition and I don't think we've had one, ironically, since Cameron was opposition leader.

Correct; you then either get the best out of the government of the day or watch them crumble and get voted out.
