So exactly where dies "UK Uncut" think money should be saved? You know to pay for the debt the countries in. A debt not just caused by bankers but previous UK Govs overspending.

Oh I know the bankers. It's cool to hate the bankers. If we tax the bankers then every old person cab have a care home place & every library will be open all day and no jobs will be lost.

Meanwhile in reality...

I'd have thought that was pretty obvious? Closing tax loopholes, making sure everyone pays their fair share and doesn't take it out on their workers.

Although most of the people i've spoken too accept that the only real solution is revolution.

Arcadia group pay tax, Vodafone pay tax, Tesco pay tax.

They are also massive employers in the UK.

The £6 billion that Vodafone allegedly owe is a paltry amount when you think the welfare state budget is £200 billion per year.

YES! You had me worried for a moment there and you seemed a little too quiet in this thread for my liking.

Now we're talking :cool:

Pretty bizzare comment to make

None of these inherited their titles or entitlement, did they? So, they're not upper class.

Osbourne - Trust Fund
Cameron - heatherdown, Eton, oxford
Hague - Private School, Oxford
I could go on IDS - Sandhurst and private school.

And so you fell into my trap.

None of these people are upper class - they're all upper-middle class.

They don't owe £6bn. If they did, they'd be billed by HMRC for it. Alas, they haven't.

Hence I said allegedly.
