To think that Burnham’s words are going to haunt his premiership? *^‘…national security can’t come at the expense of social security…’^*

Why though? If one person leaves at a loss of tax of £330m in a year as below why would you want even more tax gone?

If we have a sovereign debt crisis, we will be begging billionaires to come to the UK.

You might like them better if you or anyone you love needs benefits but there's no money left in the bucket because the big tax payers have left the country. So no benefits for anyone at all. The cupboard is bare. Hooray - what a joy. Eh?

And yet another way of looking at is that quantitative easing saved the British economy. Despite the American Subprime Mortgage Industry being us close to collapse. My DS is enjoying a bit of extra uni money I put aside into Brown’s Child Trust Fund for which I am eternally grateful.

I wasn’t really around for Harold but he won 4 elections, decriminalised homosexuality, started the OU, kept us out of Vietnam, brought in race relations and equal pay act. And Alf Garnett hated him so he must have been good.

About that.

This isn't 2008.

If things go sideways with the perfect storm brewing as it is seemingly shaping up, then this isn't the historic comparison we probably should be looking at.

Polanski . Green’s leader. Real name is David. His teeth are a bit wonky. And Burnham’s brows and eyelashes are too dark apparently. It’s right wing people humour. Oh how we laughed.
