Jerry Hicks on the ConDem Spending Review - Manchester - 20th October

[Wulgulmerang]

Let us look again at revenues. The statistics that came originally from Richard Murphy and others suggest that tax avoidance loses us £25 billion a year; tax evasion loses us £70 billion a year; and uncollected tax amounts to £27 billion to £28 billion. Half of that is not collected by HMRC simply because it does not have the resource to chase it. The estimate of the tax gap is £125 billion a year.

Tax the rich. They caused the problems.

Maybe he is right, Maybe his wrong in what he is saying. But at the end of the day how long do you stay out of work protesting and picketing gates. Who is going to pay the bills. That is what people are afraid of bills mounting higher and higher, and at the end of the day you may be protesting for over 2 to 3 months and get no bloody where. You need a list of demands on what the people want for this country.
