If they are investors then can I also have some tax relief to borrow and invest in some more gold please? Thought not. If they are businesses then are they not 'trading while insolvent' if they cannot even adjust to a gradual reduction of existing (and very generous) tax reliefs on their debts? - in which case they need to be put out of action asap.
No, they are just speculating with cheap credit and pricing out potential owner occupiers in the process. No sympathy at all.Comment

Just for clarity;
If you earn £100k p/a you should get taxed 40% with no exemptions, and tax based on pre-pension earnings. No fiddles, no loop holes.
If you have a house valued at £1m you should be charged a flat tax of 5% of the value per annum. That money should be used to build new houses.
I would also introduce capital gains tax for betting. So all that dirty speculation with shorting/hedging should get taxed. It's a complete joke that there is no tax!
That would be a good start for me.Comment
