That (according to HSBC) includes earning an average of £14,457.12 by age 25. Given that the median household income for two adults is £23,556 it has to be total bollocks. Haha what the gently caress, what the gently caress is a 4 year old going to do with £400 a month? Buy drugs in recess?

Robocop would be the bane of every conservative government ever because they prattle on about morality but they're dirty as gently caress behind scenes, every single one of them.

Murder everyone with a net worth over £10m and start all over again with luxury high tech fully automated communism. Not ironic.

 Also what the gently caress is this I'm reading about EU citizens registering for their "right to live"? I mean, if you guys eventually start asking me to do any sort of registering for the "privilege" of staying in a failing economy instead of doing the sane thing and just allowing EU people to stay around, then you've got a surprise coming.

I just get better money being in the UK right now. Also I'm a bit of an anglophile and I love London, but yeah, start revoking my right to live here and I'll book a plane gently caress you.

OwlFancier posted:If you pay £50k in tax you must be, er, rather wealthy. High income != wealthy. Capital accumulation takes time. I don't create jobs though, compared to the actual capital class I'm just another poor. Also I've actually experienced deep crushing poverty for most of my childhood/teens so I'd like to think I have some perspective. Also I'm happy to pay taxes, I just made that quip because I was pissed at someone telling me the equivalent of "if you don't like it try somewhere else" when I'm trying to give a gently caress about this country.

Okay sure I'm extremely well off when you compare me with someone making minimum wage, what I was trying to say is that I haven't had this income for decades so I don't have real estate lying around or massive investments making me passive income. The current tech bubble is being kind to me, and hopefully I'll get an early retirement out of it, that's all.

Eh, honestly I'm just extremely pissed off at it all. I don't derive any joy from this situation. I'm glad I sparked yet another debate about what middle class is, though. I'm just gonna go ahead and say Bakunin was right.

Paxman posted:That's what you do right, you're saying that the salary that means you pay 50k tax is a really low salary? I'm not a game dev. Also I agree, trying to stop immigration has never worked much in the history of the world, and I do have a EU passport. Dual nationality, that's how most Latin-americans get into Europe. The answer to stop immigration is to make all the world a nice place to live and work in, and by that point I imagine most people would stop caring anyway.

Breath Ray posted:You could make it better by leaving and taking your entitled attitude with you. Then you could give something back to your poorer home country where your contribution and example could go much further than it would here. Promise me youll sleep on it at least. Do explain how I'm "entitled", I'm all ears. Also my home country is the UK. I'm British, does that make you angry? If you mean the country I was born in, don't worry, my contributions to several charities and family members there sure go a long way, as you say. Breath Ray posted:Actually he told us to gently caress off. No you blithering imbecile, I told those trying to kick me off the country to gently caress off. Do you want me out? Then gently caress you. Otherwise, it wasn't aimed at you.

Give a couple dozen men a trawler in collective ownership and they can all feed themselves forever and also have a few hours off because angling is pretty inefficient in comparison. Give a couple dozen men a trawler and they'll take out a loan and hire some other men to work it and pay them peanuts, while making a small fortune off their backs.

I'd probably vote literal lovecraftian starspawn over human politicians at this point. At least they have a plan, and the means to enact it. Sure they're unspeakable horrors whose very sight breaks the mind, but at least they didn't invent stuff like synthetic CDOs.
