I dunno, I could see this leading to the rich just blowing their fortunes entirely in their old age since they won't get to pass it on, decreasing the income to the state.

Sounds like an improvement on :smaug:

Can someone here do me a solid?

My brother is currently arguing with me over labours voting record.

I'm saying Keir et al vote in lock step with the government, particularly on police/protest/workers rights.

He wants me to provide evidence this is happening, so I'm trying to troll news sites for examples. Not having much luck, other than the latest outrage of the Gender reform bill (gently caress you Keith you spineless twat).

Can anyone provide historic examples?

I acknowledge the thought behind your post, but the fact is that being poo poo at your job isn't actually a criminal offense most of the time.

Plenty of cases of gas fitters getting (short, probably suspended) prison sentences for being so poo poo at their job someone dies after their boiler explodes.

Great economy we've got here

quote:

going part-time and generating income through property ownership was financially more lucrative than full-time employment.

Between July 2021 and July 2022, the average UK house price increased by £39,000, meaning many homeowners earned more money with their house than in their job, as the current average salary for full-time UK employees is £33,000 as of November 2022, according to ONS
