Maha-Rishi Sunak is about to choose to crush the poor so as to reduce the UK's debt. He'd rather cause great suffering than raise taxes.

However, with most Britons now in poverty, they should not have to pay any tax.

He has millions and his wife has hundreds of millions. We call him Rich Sunak.

The UK could raise a lot of money by closing the loophole that many rich UK citizens (including Sunak's wife) use to pay very little tax.

After a series of ever-more-radical right-wing prime monsters pushing for ever-deeper political and economic separation from the EU, Britons are waking up to the idea that it was a mistake to leave the EU.

Many years ago, I said that splitting from the EU would have horrible results with plutocratists in charge, but could have good results with antiplutocratists in charge. Splitting would enable the plutocrats to rampage through the UK unrestrained by EU laws, if the UK government were on their side. At the same time, EU laws impose a considerable amount of plutocracy, so leaving the EU would make it possible for the UK to have less.

Now that the "Labour" Party has made sure it can never be a channel to oppose plutocracy, I see little hope that the UK could make positive use of being outside the EU. So it may as well rejoin.
