The richest 150 people in the UK get £120,000,000 richer every single day, and that's not share value.
That's profit stolen from you through the Banks, Energy Companies, and Supermarkets they own.
But the problem is someone getting £10 on Universal Credit?

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Instead you pay £30bn extra which goes almost entirely to people who don't live, pay tax or spend money in the UK.
