Brexit DOOM™: Labour would grab 20 per cent of assets from Britain's richest people

[OwlHoot]

The vast majority of Brits wouldn't have a big problem with a swingeing wealth tax on the top 10%, because they think it won't affect them,

Just saying .....

That's a fair point.

So, in other words, paper prints fantasy story about something that a party that can't get elected might do to deflect from what the party that was elected is doing.

Most people outside the M25 won't care, given the equity in London property. Can't wait to see how they explain to the Chinese that we're ceasing property assets from them.

If you own a property but you're not resident, you don't pay it.

That's how it works, you are taxed on your world wide wealth. So a UK resident who owns a property in Bejing will be taxed on that, but not the other way round.

Couldn't we just tax Branson and Blair and leave everyone else alone. They supported getting us into this mess.

Could not they just tax those who voted for Brexit? They supported getting us into this mess.

Only fair since Tory Scum are now using Brexit as excuse to increase taxes.

This has nothing to do with Brexit. It's the EU supporting scum that got us into this mess, not least Blair and the Blairites.

Hammond says otherwise:

"Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Hammond said he needed to raise more money to ensure the UK was “match fit for Brexit”."

If you hadn't of voted for Brexit then this mess wouldn't be there, now would it? It didn't exist before but it does exist now...

The "mess" in question is a legacy of 13 years of New Liebour profligacy. Fook all to do with Brexit. Do try and keep up!

Tory Scum is in power for 7 years now, it's a bit of old tune to blame Labour for tax increases that are being done by Tory Scum.
