This is such a ridiculous position you take. I have already explained to you that I am not binary, I am my own man and form my own opinions. It is not for you or anyone else to make wild assumptions, as you do all the time. Fortunately I'm not alone on this thread, yes, that does means with...

Did you actually read the article - and understand it? It's This obsession with removing the privacy of the rich is misplaced anger TIM STANLEY 6 NOVEMBER 2017 • 7:27PM We're obsessed with the goings on of the rich, yet we ignore those who are truly powerful We mistrust the rich and...

And you have a solution - let's hear it.

You're doing it again OG. I am not a binary sort of person, I can see good in most people and many ideas. In fact I like to hear as many diverse opinions as I can, at which point I feel able to make my own mind up. Having done so, that's it and it won't change, unless someone can come up with...

That seems to be what the President was saying?

No, not anything, far from it. But, once again your tendency is to tar them all with the same brush. We need most, maybe not all, to facilitate progress, create jobs and yes, make money. That's how this capitalist system works, yes it has its faults, but at least we've moved on from where we...

Not meaning this to be as bad as it sounds OG, but there is more than just an element of this reading like a deathbed apology for all your past misdemeanors? Which is probably why I quite like it, I can see where you're coming from but I don't agree with you. Certainly, we will have a bit of a...

Perhaps there is a dose of reality at work here? We might not like the rich but we do need them. I doubt that Brexit has anything at all to do with Tax Havens other than the fact that we, the UK seem to have a fair slice of the market - lucky us!

A 'Born again Christian' he saw the light and moved over from the Left.

There may be some truth in this, we agree for once. However, certainly not as simple as it sounds nor desirable, dependant on your political viewpoint. Why would anyone want more government? Something else we mostly agree with, there is little, if any evidence that an increasing tax take leads...

No, of course not, there is truth in such a statement and to read the whole article makes the point. Essentially down to the pro's and con's of necessary government vs nanny state. Or, be careful what you wish for, to drive all these multimillionaires completely out of our jurisdiction wouldn't...

As there isn't a button to describe this, let me just say that perhaps you (Steb) ought to read what you write before you post. Not sure who you trying to impress but, there's no sign of this audience being a bunch of impressionable kids?

Maybe, try my next post. Once is plenty enough.

Do you really think that people respond positively to being continually reminded that they made a mistake? Irrespective of whether or not they did so - they can, and will, work that out for themselves. Doesn't need your help at all, does it?

In that sense the whole thread is becoming boring. We are where we are, good or bad and quite simply it takes us all to get over over ourselves and just get on with doing good or whatever it is that we do that benefits society / community.

Agree and said as much in 23 above.

Lot of good points here. What do you think will happen - negative answers not considered. The UK is one of, if not the best place on earth, let's work to keep it that way.

My other, more intelligent half, has jus reminded me about the book "50 Shades of Grey" Don't think it was written by a guy?

I see OldTom is back again - go away please!

Guilty as charged then.
