Diddleydo, //And seeing that Naomi mentioned private education and private health insurance - both should be abolished so the rich can appreciate (or not) what they've bought out of.//
That’s clever! Force high earners to use state schools and the National Health Service - and impose an even greater burden upon those facilities. Smart move! Do you ever really think about what you’re saying?
Thing is Diddley the majority of high earners have been educated at state school and have been raised with the NHS taking care of their medical needs so never imagine that they don’t know what it’s all about. They do. Few were born with silver spoons in their mouths – they’ve simply got ambition and determination. And I’m not just talking about men in suits here. Take a manual worker – a painter and decorator, or a builder for example, perhaps poorly educated but determined to do something with his life, so he starts a one man business by advertising his skills in corner shops. He’s a grafter, he works all hours, his business grows and he soon needs to employ someone to help – then someone else – then someone else…. you get the idea? He’s now a high earner and not only that, he’s the bloke who’s providing jobs for the people who are only interested in working fixed hours and getting their pay at the end of the week. And you begrudge the grafter his success? Why?
Incidentally, high earners aren’t necessarily ‘rich’. Because they’re paying high taxes, mortgages, school fees, health care costs, etc, many of them are actually pretty skint. The politics of envy, eh? How blinkered they are.

Twatchers' stance when closing down industries was well known and publicised at the time. She said closing down these industries won't cost the Tories any votes because these people don't vote for us anyway. Naomi, you and others clearly can't see how vindictive this ogre of a PM had become. There are some really unnecessary comments on this site. I appreciate that there are varying views, but the way some people respond isn't necessary.
