The Reform has dropped the act, openly Thatcherite. The Conservatives are copying them to save their skins. The best way to cut support for the authoritarian right is to stand with people against profiteers in water and energy, and give real security.

Dear politicians,
When we say we want a #WealthTax and to #TaxTheRich, we're not talking about the middle classes, or even the upper middle classes and the pretty well off.
We're talking about the obscenely ****ING rich, i.e. those ****ers with more than the GDP of most countries - tax them!!

UK budget freeze on income tax thresholds
Over the next 5 yrs, 780,000 more people, the poorest, will pay income tax for the first time.
Someone earning £50,000 will pay £9,512 in tax, an increase of £1,247 because thresholds are frozen.
Can't grow economy by hitting low/middle income earners.

Spending on Privatisation now makes up around 10% of the NHS budget, but they only do about 4% of the work.
More Privatisation is apparently the solution, presumably so in the end they get 100% of the money and do 40% of the work.

The problem with Thatcherism is that eventually you run out of other people's assets to sell.
The central delusion of Thatcherism is the idea politicians can destroy the postwar settlement and replace it with nothing, which in practice turns out to always be panicking governments shoring up the systems they vandalised fuck out of, using sticky tape and wood glue.
