    BS.

    Billionaires tend to have made their money. Almost exclusively.

    The Tories have now become the pied piper who are now trouncing the moderately well off working and middle classes. You can guarantee though that those with real wealth will be given plenty of chance to spirit their money away and will undoubtedly have been given fair warning of what's incoming.
    New, New Labour.

    Can you fecking believe it - Labour is defending middle classes from Tories
    Labour idea of those with "broad shoulders" is someone making over £75k, then middle class for them is someone able to afford Waitrose chicken from time to time. They happily waved IR35 through so your fellow contractor caught by IR35 will be paying effectively over 50% of tax.
