Nothing to see here Strike, move along now.

[Louis VI the Fat]

Ah, I see.


So what our activist filmmaker says is that because haute finance messed up, the state needs to get its budget together. Awfully expensive to bail out haute finance and all that. This budgetary discipline must be achieved by drastically reducing the taxes for the highest incomes, whilst abolishing governement functioning for working Britons.

I'd tell him just where to shove it, but then I'm not a working Briton asked to please pay even more towards that international clique of City millionaires and billionaires.

You're all being had. Britons are unimaginative shopkeepers who mistakenly think it praiseworthy to live within their means The commendable and hereditary tendency of the disciplined Britons is financial restraint. This natural tendency is exploited by a campaign trying to convince working Britons they are living beyond their means. The state finances are then reformed to reduce the benefits for working Britons, and increase those of the City. Call it a regressive taxation scheme. A reversed Robin Hood.
