Yeah I dont know how a 1% increase in taxation to the 1% top earners in Britain will affect the likes of Squeeze but they bend over backwards for them Well, per se, it simply panders to the politics of envy and actually affects a statistically insignificant number of people. But, in the wider sense, it could discourage the brightest and best from coming or staying here if they perceive that they maybe subject to a punitive tax regime. And that would affect all of us. But, clearly the politics of envy, and pandering to the intellectually impaired, is politically expedient. To the detriment of all. |

You have hardly demonstrated that I am wrong by talking it yourself. I guess you are probably one of the complicit ones? Complicit of what? Being obtuse, by the sounds of it. Complicity in the greed of the me, me, me generation at the expense of future ones? |

Only you keep repeating this and its just not true. Whether to start a business in the UK will be based on 1, The assumption that like the rest of the first world countries it is safe to do so. 2, That there is a market and a profit to be made. Only if tax rates were extraordinarily higher than the rest of the civilised world would it be considered. |

I am not blaming them for my life, but for shafting the lives of the younger generations including millions of hard working strivers. Me, me, me writ large... Well it's definitely You, you, you writ large, Shrieky. As in you projecting your personal failures onto the younger generation. And methinks you are old before your time cos you sound like one of their soulmates. lol Nah, I'm a lot closer to the younger generation than you which is how I know that they reject your projections of fail. As Churchill said: “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.” That's you that is, Shrieky. When it comes to cod psychology, methinks you'd make less of a fool of yourself if you just stuck to the cod bit. |

Shrieky, your puerile politics of serial under-achievement and appeal to the lowest denominator have never won hearts and minds. And they never will. No one wants to buy your failure except other failures, and there's no win there. |

My parents were baby boomers, they had 4 children as was encouraged after the war, they saved like crazy and counted every penny. They were stupid and did nothing for anyone else, they accrued fortunes they would never spend nor share. But I don't think it was me me me. It was what they had learned in their formative years. Incidentally in case you think I'm defending my parents. They were hideous and cruel, my dad was a bully and my mum a sociopath. I left home aged 17 with nothing. |

Ignoring your pejorative assumptions and well remembered modus operandi of trying to personalise everything into personal attacks, your larger point fails to acknowledge those derided as "champagne socialists", ie people who are well off yet still believe in a fairer society. Thereby demonstrating that they are not all mean-spirited selfish toads like you |

Thereby demonstrating that they are not all mean-spirited selfish toads like you Sorry to hear you had such a shit time as a kid. But my point about many of that generation still stands. They got their cheap housing and and free tuition and voted to take it away from future generations. Not all of them, obviously. There were many who opposed such policies on principle. But too many of them. |

I also left home at 17, but for very different reasons. I loved my mum, she was of the silent generation who went through the war. Had she not been a strong and principled mother, mine and my brother's future would have been very different. |
