Has anyone done a block zionists list? No way do they deserve any kind of response after all the war crimes, apartheid, plausible genocide, atrocities, enforced slow starvation of Gaza, forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, continued settler attacks on villages, torture n rapes of prisoners. . .

Thankfully, there are some taxes on wealth. 💸
🏰 The new Mansion Tax is a step in the right direction, but its like a sticking plaster on a broken leg —only expected to raise around £400 million, for scale that’s about 48x less than our preferred wealth tax.

The super-rich have thrived at our expense over the last 35 years. This much wealth in the hands of 156 people is corrosive to the public good. Today's budget must take steps towards a system where billionaires do not exist!
