..that they should fuck the fuck off?
At a time when lots of people are really struggling with high inflation, 20% VAT, high unemployment, lack of living wage etc etc.
If you're earning above the 50% threshold you are well off and can afford it.
I used to earn enough to pay 40% tax (this was before the 50% rate came in and I was nowhere near the 50% threshold) and did not begrudge paying this. If NI and VAT were factored in, over 50% of my income went in taxes. I still had high disposable income.
Rather than giving their views airtime, there should be a massive PR exercise on the benefits to all of us of living in a civil society where there is an economic safety net, NHS, free education (for under 18's at least still...)
AIBU or not?
