Super Rich Elite
This needs repeating like a mantra: This should be the drum beat that sparks mass action against the elite: This should be the alarm bell that awakens us from our sleepy carelessness:
“The richest 1,000 people in Britain have seen their wealth increase by £155bn since the crisis began – more than enough to pay off the whole government deficit of £119bn at a stroke”
[Guardian: Wednesday 31 October]
Add to that the UK ‘tax avoidance’ of multinational corporations: “Asda, Google, Apple, eBay, Ikea, Starbucks, Vodaphone… Amazon and Facebook.”
“The total tax gap between what’s owed and collected has been estimated… at £120bn”
[Guardian: Wednesday 31 October]
It has recently been revealed that Amazon contribute next to nothing in corporation tax in the UK.
At the same time, even by our Prime Minister’s acknowledgement, we are being fleeced left, right and centre by the cartel of energy companies.
And meanwhile, our political parties (without debate) want to replace Trident with a new nuclear arsenal at a cost of £83bn. That’s £83bn that will never be used, or if it is, will destroy a city of millions.
Who is the enemy?
