What do you think will happen to the likes of MF?

I'm semi retiring. If I'd worked all the way to the end of March I was set to earn 310k this year. I've taken 120k of that instead and finish up next week.

Back to mediocrity methinks.

Of course, you consider rich a compliment if it means who much money you have.

Still haven't lost your obsession with money I see.
How sad.
As it goes I am quite well off, I'm thankful that'll give me more options in the tough years ahead that your stupidity has caused.

When you guys point out where the article is wrong I might be interested. Until then I will assume you got unwittingly manipulated

Coming from someone who rarely engages and just goes round calling everyone a cretin(pot meet kettle) that is rich.

The deciding factor was Labour supporters who are fed up of inequality - especially the lack of houses and services. Which is seen as being due to too many people who require them.

Any attempt to dilute that message is going to lead to trouble.

The Japanese model is not perfect - but has alot going for it.

Not really neither side could actually come up with coherent arguments either way.

All most people knew was that they did not want a central european body telling us what to do.

WHS, and the FT is fanatically pro-EU.

This a diatribe from someone with a chip on his shoulder about public schoolboys. Those that made the difference on Brexit were mainly the working classes

Is it because EU is good for business?

Yup, but they were mislead by a bunch of public schoolboys whose life skills are mainly oral...

Pretty sure it was the pig giving Oral?

Move to USA because a burger flipping job in California will be worth more than "higher rate" taxpayer in this country...

[CretinWatcher]

Oh. I suppose you prefer Fox News.

Sarky radar gone missing?

[FatLazyContractor]

Number of £200k jobs might be rapidly reducing in the future.

There was a sketch on the R4 "Dead Ringers" that made this exact point.

And it was a damn sight funnier.

I doubt most on here listen to Radio 4. Lefty propaganda dontcha know.
