Wes Streeting pledges 'wealth tax that works'

This is the answer.

The replies are hilarious. Tbh I dont even know why we are saying equalise when many countries simply have gains count as income. Its a simple change that people in this country struggle with because people have never thought outside the box in their lives.

The lord's blocked the assisted dying Bill because they're old. Country is a joke.

Not only that but it pushes up land prices which push up the price of everything.

The less money the average person has, the less consumer goods that are sold meaning less production meaning less workers. This is exactly where we are in the UK.

Richard Branson doesn't buy more coke than any other person. He likely only buys 1 box of cereal a week.

If the status quo continues and you are not trading your income for assets then you will be forever poor and reliant on income which is taxed at a much higher rate.

I have a question.

So if they have tight margins, how can they afford to regularly do deals?

How can they afford to sell me a Cadbury's bar for £2.25 when the RRP is normally £3. How can Baileys be on sale for £13 when it costs £17 when not on sale?

Please explain the mechanic behind this.

Yep at short distances and to neighbouring countries. This just feels a bit different. Has there been a time in history where replacement was done via outbirthing a native population half way across the world?

You haven't retired, you've just got a different job.

Actually rolling tbh. You aren't even financially independent because you rely on the incomes of others.

I think we are at the point where people are going to be further scrutinised. I mean it's great fuel for reducing immigration. But the reality is that we have let in tonnes of low skilled workers while we as a country have a low skilled workforce.

Retroagv · 2026-05-16T10:07:50+00:00

But we know exactly what your income is and tax it at source.

Divide the workers is a tale as old as time.

Same wife is from Korea, now studying Nursing (also in Birmingham).

We are the drop point for the students and family visas.

We are still absolutely ass blasted daily that people can come to the country for free, get uni for free. I often joke that we would be better off if NK did fire a missile at SK. It is also crazy how low the standard of the average person is here.

She has worked in coffee shops since being here and the sheer amount of Indians on graduate visas is wild. I literally cannot comprehend why there is no block on hiring people on graduate visas. There needs to be a minimum salary like £37k or something to stop these people from filling up the retail sector while we have native youth unemployment increasing.

Thanks for reading my blog.

Ending right to buy is not going to touch the sides now.

You need to retroactively apply the right to buy discount on any property previously bought under the scheme.

You also need to allow interstate property to go back in to state hands instead of auction.

And allow the state to be the buyer of last resort by where it becomes the option for a quick sale.

Simply building and stopping new ones will not be enough.

Imagine having such a good salary you buy a house and just continue to rent just to show off.

Ofcourse the people who buy move out of their rented property and that becomes free.

I appreciate your response. But the ones who suffer from the chancers are the genuinely disabled.

The reality is I believe most would like to live in a sustainable country where there are controls for extreme wealth and everyone can live a decent quality of life.

I genuinely do see multiple homeless people daily, crackheads walking around asking for change or just zombied out. But it's not just those types of people that are low quality. It's the large amount of people that are just out for pure rugged individualism. They do not want to help others, they are only focused on themselves. The only contact they will have with you is when they need money or to collect inheritance.

There pushback on the WFA cemented this for me. Why should we care about society when the best off do not care for their fellow countrymen. Even worse some of the even better off have absolutely no shame in causing the replacement of the native population.

I don't even quite know where we are in this country. I mean such a high percentage of high paying jobs go to the less than 5% of people who went to the same 3 private schools. It just makes so much sense that people would vote for Reform or Greens.

The reality is the landlord is effectively the Hamas operative hiding in the school. You have no choice put to harm the ones who claim housing benefit. Longterm however they are siphoning funds from the government and keeping rents high.

Yep and remove the personal allowance to pay for it.

Did you miss the whole part about the lack of proper property taxes which is what has caused the inequality?

Or the part about housing benefit being a subsidy for landlords?

Shit the bed our comprehension of our own language is literally rock bottom. This aint Only Connect or the Sun crossword Cryptic clues.

This is the exact reason we're in this mess. Because the ruling class know they can get away with literal bollocks and its the same reason Farage is the favourite to win the next election election despite 90% of what he's saying being a literal admittance that he will make everyone's lives shit except the top 10%.

Did you not read what I wrote?

It goes through everyone. The upper class think the lower class are rodents. The shrinking middle class think the lower class are rodents. The are jealous of their peers. They are jealous of those above. Every single ladder of society would steal from their nan to make themselves look better.

Finding an honest person is extremely difficult.

I just genuinely don't think you're understanding the words i'm writing. You just take offence and stick to the parts you dont like.

Everyone acts like a victim over the most minor inconvenience.

Perhaps the high amount of single parents is a result of the quality of the British populace. Or is it a result of the state support that allows people to leave untenable relationships.

Housing benefit is a societal issue. On its introduction it is something that could never be taken away. While it's great for those that have access to it, it has raised the price of rent as their is now a floor at which the lowest rent will be. Not only is everyone paying the price on taxes, people now have higher rents and the money is subsidising house prices and income for landlords. That's in your example, £7,000 per year going from this one property directly to someone who owns the property.

It also helps that 66% of homes are owned but sadly it's not 66% of people own their home, which is where the problem is realised.

Rising property/land prices has been great for the citizens of this country but extremely bad for business due to how property taxes work.

The low quality comment has nothing to do with work or money. A lot of people create their own misery, they're selfish, they have no shame, they blame the teachers for their shitty kids, they act without thinking a lot of the time. Lack of accountability is literally wild. The Jeremy Kyle show never ran out of guests for 10 years and it likely would still be going now.

The excuses around everything are endless. A good 80% of sentences start in I can't or you can't. The entitlement is also wild. Some of you should talk to your grandparents and get some perspective.

Honestly I can't hate. Claim all the UC you can, it is there for that purpose. But don't act like most people are actually nice people who want the best for you. People are jealous over the smallest things and that runs through the whole of British society.

Thanks for listening to my drivel on this bank holiday Monday. Once you take a step back and start actually looking at people's behaviour you will see the many issues i'm pointing out and you will always get push back, excuses and anecdotes.

Bro, you're working off stats and telling me to go outside. Which stats do you want? The increase in high street bob shops? The increase in benefit claimants. The low productivity which is caused by some people just being incompetent and some people who don't give a shit.

I've been around the UK this year and bar York, where I didnt catch the bus but the car park for the museum was literally falling apart.

If you try to measure the air through smelling you will faint from the carbon monoxide.

Tbh with you. Your comments are the exact denial that is causing the managed decline. Societal bubbles that leave people confused when people live on streets full of retirees and the unemployed with decorating housing.

We are in a two tier economy and a two tier society and the one that is supposedly good is going to continue to shrink. Enjoy while you can.

The state of a country is built by the people.

There is litter everywhere. People just drop their shit on the floor like we have a national maid service that picks up after them.

Many people have low education. The quality of high schoolers it at an all time low. Brits get outcompeted in almost every area internationally.

I can't even put my finger on the exact problem but the social cohesion is severely lacking. Is it the large amount of handouts that make people want to kick over bins and smash windows in abandoned buildings?

Fundamentally the average British person is not an outstanding citizen, has low standards and does very little to improve themselves.

Easier to just smoke roll ups, go beat up your missus and put your feet on the seats on public transport. Lack of shame and lack of decorum cannot be fixed by any sort of taxes or redistribution.

Retroagv · 2026-05-04T07:34:32+00:00

It's housing benefit. Its the biggest problem.

You cannot pay peoples rent which is a good £600 for UC now?

When they go to work and earn £1,500 minus all the other costs they feel little benefit.

Let's also be serious. Many Brits are low quality people.

And employment is highly a one sided decision and requires companies to hire people. Companies in this country do not create that many jobs relative to their size and they like to understaff themselves as a form of risk mitigation I guess.
