Here is the distribution of wealth in the UK. The wealthiest 1% of households hold about 20% of household wealth, the top 5% of hold approximately 40%, and the top 10% hold over 50% of wealth. Now, who is taking exactly? |

I'd play poker with May any day :lol: Arrogant and none too bright, was great to see her get a blood nose.

Lefties are so easy to shoot down. I don't know who the lefties may be that you refer to nor what that has to do with anything, but here is one of those "takers". https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...rty-inequality And, because those tax figures you offer deserve a closer look, try this: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-10353982.html The poorest fifth of the country pay the largest proportion of their income to tax - because, in part, income tax is only one of our taxes. |

Re: UK election poll
The Tories are the ones that just twice needlessly played power me me me games and caused absolute chaos. Looks like they will pay the ultimate price for their own selfish greedy power play.

(Now that the DUP is going to be able to call the shots on a lot of things or they will not give their 10 votes to May) - headline in an Irish paper yesterday: 'ORANGE IS THE NEW BLUE' |

Yes, increased polarizing is exactly what the UK needs :thumbdown:
If you can't reach that standard, you shouldn't be standing. The DUP is loonytoons, always has been. To date they haven't mattered, just one aspect of the screwed up mess known as northern ireland. May, in her desire to claw on to power that she lost, has made them relevant - and sunlight should hopefully burn them, and the other sectarian groups in NI, away. |

Corbyn for now has actually become an unwitting champion of the middle ground. Bet he never envisaged that when he started politics. |

Young people don't know shit - the snowflakes will vote for whoever is trendy or promises them the most. Sure, they may have got free uni for a few years under Labour - until the country runs out of money (again) and all the wealthy people who have had their money confiscated by the government and have left. At that point it's Maggie Thatcher time all over again Be careful what you wish for champ |
