They intend to grind the rich into the dust with measures aimed at destroying their wealth, the TIMES screams that those earning over £150,000 will be hardest hit! (aren't they always?) and gives some shocking examples as to the level of suffering that will result from the 50% tax and other extreme 'red' measures.
In a typical case one of these poor individuals stands to lose almost £80.00 a week under the new arrangements...that's right, eighty of your standard British pounds (which are declining in value as we speak).
The Future of the Square Mile according to the London TIMES.
Is this really war on the rich?
By my very crude math (note the trans-Atlantic terminology) a bloke on £150,000 a year earns roughly £2100 a week after tax. £80.00 loss, its the sort of money such a man would happily spunk (great phrase) on a bottle of bubbly...fuck my old boots, but you can almost imagine his kids not eating at Claridges that week...
For information on how to conduct a proper class war, I suggest the current bunch of spineless pseudo socialists consider the example of either the French approach (circa 1789–1799), or for a more gloves off and up to date effort - explore the Russians efforts to rein in the rich.
Off with their heads!
During the first two months of 1917 Russia was still a Romanov monarchy. Eight months later the Bolsheviks stood at the helm" thus began Mr Trotsky in his classic 'The History of the Russian Revolution'. Now we are talking...
1917 - And no beating around the bush
Why the hype about darlings measures now? We really are turning into a nation of drama queens.
I include a picture of a real Drama queen as an example....Elizabeth banks...(tenuous link I know)
On second thoughts, the more Drama queens the better...

Hi Mike, I trust you weren't too poverty stricken to buy your misses a birthday pressie. Say Hi from her big brother on her birthday - Anzac Day if you didn't realise. Oz has so far managed to avoid the worst of the GFC (Greed Fuelled Crash). However just in case, I have decided to save the $10 bucks I was going to spend on her pressie, $80 on postage and $10 annual donation to Hallmark, for a rainy day. Which amazingly it is today. I am in Adelaide for a friend's wedding and it is raining for the first time since December 11th 2008. Even the bride is not complaining about the sudden and unexpected generosity of the great benefactor in charge of the sky taps. So I will use your wife's birthday money to raise a class to her, the bride and groom, and to your fallen Anzac mates. 25/04 being the chosen day of remembrance here rather than 11/11 (even your transatlantic amigos shouldn't get those dates confused). Lest we forget. Which I didn't; so give the old girl a peck on the cheek from me - Alex
Mate...Mike is my secret identity..really.
Yes remebered the birthday and got her an ace Nike / IPOD thing which she loved.
Go me!
