The Welfare we spend too much on is billionaires.
Now a person working in London 40 hours a week earning the Minimum Wage £28,392 a year pays 12.4% tax on their total wage.
12,590/28,392*0.28
Yet nearly 25% of people earning £8m or more in the UK pay less than 1% tax.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.
