Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

The government have opened a consultation on drastically limiting the Indefinite Leave to Remain system. Presumably they're hoping not many people will notice that it's taking place. So if you have views or know anyone who does, please take the opportunity to respond.

But if the government start taxing the likes of Starbucks & they leave, Are we seriously saying that Britain will stop drinking coffee? £3 billion in UK sales & they don't want to pay tax? It's time to get of the merry-go-round & use our smaller, local retailers who will pay their taxes.

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.
