Regressive Taxation. Wages taxed at marginal rates of 20% to 45% + National Insurance. Capital gains taxed at 18% to 32%: dividends taxed at 8.75% to 39.35%; No NIC levied. Successive govts appease the rich. Difference in rates/NIC fuels tax abuse industry, public purse robbed of billions.

37 years of privatisation has been a disaster
