How are you going to fund all these social services?
Great question. Can those with £10 million in assets just make themselves known in the comments?
Oh, no one? Cool, well we didn't expect them to be following us anyway.

There's less fraud in disability benefits than the average millionaire's tax return. We can't save money by screwing over disabled people - that would lead to higher spending in health and social care. (As well as being a crappy thing to do.)
