      Only if I can be chancellor, and get the same immunity.

      We'll be potless and in the gutter five years down the line, but it will be a hell of a ride :biggrin:

        I suppose it depends on how much you can get paid and also squeeze from your supporters.

          Well, I think I might have found a replacement for Trident that should be relatively low cost and is organic in origin, so whilst somewhat like a chemical weapon, it would actually be an organic one.... my two dogs seemingly have an ability to produce, even whilst sleeping, a gas so noxious it would make eyes water and anyone nearby to retreat; if we could capture and bottle it, I am pretty sure it would stop any war. :biggrin:

            I would love to think this would work. History suggests the wealthy always come out on top after any disturbance, or scramble back there quickly if temporarily deposed, and carry on their merry way, treading on anyone in their path.

            I have no issue with folks being wealthy if I am honest - I do have an issue when we have situations such as we have now, where ordinary folks cannot get a decent home and cannot afford a reasonable quality of life. A lot of that could and should have been solved with the money that we all pay in various taxation.

                  Me neither, as long as that wealth has not be garnered by extreme exploitation of resources (human and the planets) and it is subject to the same level of taxation as the majority, eg everyone paying 40% Inheritance Tax on all their assets (no exceptions, no loopholes), not just those who aren't rich enough to dodge and conceal.

                      All I've got to say is I've had so many leaflets come through the door, there isn't much room left in my recycling bag !
                      And no I haven't read any of them, I'm not interested in the rubbish they gabble :smile:

                          Yes. It is not an "incorrect" result, needing manipulation by centrist and left candidates to redress. It may be a regrettable outcome, but a vote is a vote. If you don't want to know what people think, there is zero point asking them.
