BROKEN BRITAIN? LET ME EXPLAIN WHO IS BREAKING US People keep asking why the UK feels broken — why public services collapse, why councils go bankrupt, why families drown in rent, the NHS is on its knees. Here’s the truth nobody in Westminster will say out loud: Britain isn’t Poor. It’s Being Drained. Drained by a tax system designed to protect wealth, punish workers, and let global investors treat our country like a vending machine. The UK’s £3 trillion debt isn’t an accident — it’s a transfer of wealth. Every year, over £100 billion goes straight to bondholders in interest payments, money that should be fixing GP appointments, repairing schools, supporting disabled people, building social housing, funding mental health care, keeping youth services alive, and stopping councils from collapsing. Instead, it’s siphoned upward to pension funds, banks, sovereign wealth funds, and global investors. The poor pay tax, the government pays interest, the wealthy collect the money — that’s the pipeline. And here’s the kicker: the poor can’t escape it. They can’t move, can’t hide income, can’t shift profits to Luxembourg, can’t hire accountants to “optimise” tax, can’t buy property through offshore trusts. They pay PAYE, NI, VAT, council tax — every unavoidable tax that hits the bottom hardest. Meanwhile the wealthy live in a world where tax is optional, debt is profitable, and the system bends around them. If everyone paid fair tax, the UK would transform every single year. HMRC’s own numbers show £30–40 billion is lost annually through avoidance, evasion, loopholes, and “creative accounting”. If that money actually arrived, NHS waiting lists would fall, councils would stop collapsing, social care would stabilise, schools wouldn’t be begging parents for glue sticks, homelessness programmes would get funded, public transport would improve, debt would stop spiralling, and interest payments would shrink. Every year gets better -- Every family feels the difference. Every public service breathes again. But it doesn’t happen, because the people who benefit from the gaps are the ones with access to power. The system is biased because capital is mobile and people are not. If you tax workers, they stay. If you tax wealth, it can leave. So governments squeeze the immobile group — ordinary people — and tiptoe around the mobile group — global capital. No threats, no conspiracies, just structural leverage. And nowhere is this clearer than London property. London isn’t a housing market anymore — it’s a global asset class. Investment giants like BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield and Sovereign Wealth Funds buy entire blocks, entire developments, entire neighbourhoods, often through offshore companies, trusts, shell entities, and complex ownership chains. And here’s the part that should make people furious: many of these structures legally minimise UK tax to almost nothing. Global investors avoid UK tax in ways that are all legal and all outrageous: buying the company that owns the building instead of the building itself to avoid stamp duty; holding property through Jersey, Luxembourg or Cayman entities to shift profits offshore; loading UK subsidiaries with “internal debt” so profits vanish as interest payments; using REIT structures so rental income becomes tax‑free; exploiting double‑tax treaties so gains are taxed at ultra‑low rates abroad; using nominee directors to hide beneficial ownership. The average person pays tax on their wages. These guys buy a skyscraper and pay less tax than a nurse. And politicians won’t touch it — ever. Because the same investment firms fund political events, hire ex‑ministers, lobby aggressively, threaten “capital flight”, own media influence, promise “growth”, offer “partnerships”, and bankroll think tanks. No MP wants to be the one who “scared off investment”. So the loopholes stay open, the tax system stays soft, and public services stay starved. Meanwhile ordinary families pay the price: rising rents, collapsing councils, NHS delays, school shortages, social care crises, unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, higher taxes, shrinking services. Not because Britain is poor, but because Britain is bled dry by a system designed to protect wealth at the expense of everyone else. The injustice is simple: the people who benefit most from Britain contribute least to Britain, and the people who rely on Britain the most are punished the hardest. This isn’t left or right. It’s structural. It’s systemic. It’s deliberate. The UK tax system was built for a world where capital moved slowly, companies stayed put, landlords were local, wealth was visible, and ownership was simple. None of that is true anymore, but the rules never changed. If people understood this, they’d be furious — not at each other, not at the poor, not at the working class, but at the architecture that funnels wealth upward, protects global investors, and leaves public services to rot. Britain isn’t broken. It’s being broken. And until people see the system for what it is, nothing will change — because no politician will ever go against the donors, lobbyists, and financial interests who benefit from keeping things exactly as they are.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Everyone’s talking about the dodgy polls exposed by Verbatim and Channel 4. But here is the question nobody seems to want to ask: How the hell did these polls end up splashed across the Telegraph’s front pages? Who fed them to journalists? Who signed off on publishing them? Who benefited? And perhaps most importantly: what links exist between the people pushing these polls, those amplifying them, and Reform UK? This needs investigating properly. Because if the polling was dodgy, the story doesn’t end with the pollsters. Follow the money. Follow the connections. Check the whole chain.

What is going on @BBCNews Angela Raynor paid the wrong stamp duty and you were on her like a dog with bone. Farage is on film accepting massive illegal overseas payments and you look the other way. WHY am I paying a licence fee for this rubbish?

#PoliticsLive Thatcher sold off our council houses, now we have a housing crisis. She privatised the utilities, now they all rip us off. She deregulated the City, and then we had the great crash of 2008. Margaret Thatcher's legacy has been disastrous for the UK.

There’s another heatwave coming in the next 10 days. I hope im wrong but I think we’re fucked. People are too stupid and the whole media is just unable to tell the truth. We literally are seeing temperature and rainfall records falling all over the planet constantly and it’s barely making a dent in peoples consciousness. There should be millions protesting in the street day in day out until global governments change. But there is no urgency from the useless deadly media who literally think they know more than scientists who’ve studied it for decades. The public only cares about superficial celebrity nonsense, lifestyle guff and money, even people on the left generally are not very engaged with this issue whereas the right often deny it’s even happening. Only 10% of MPs across the board attended a briefing on climate change by the chief scientist in the UK several years ago. Politicians don’t understand and don’t care, just like the public don’t. Most people won’t even tweet or discuss it let alone watch a documentary. Someone asked me recently why I focus more on climate change than gay stuff now. It’s because climate change is the biggest threat to gay people that’s ever existed. Because it’s the biggest threat to all people that has ever existed. We are talking about the total breakdown of the food system, of law and order and eventually, as David Attenborough says, the collapse of civilisation itself. Mass death, in other words, and with the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - we put 100 million tons of it out every single day - it can’t return to normal for thousands of years. The media has turned us into idiots and completely failed to convey scientists warnings about how serious and imminent climate breakdown is. It’s not decades away. It’s here. It’s now. Extreme suffering and violence are incoming. Video: Monmouth, UK, earlier this year. Scientist Prof Hayley Fowler, video below this tweet, warned last year that the UK could now see 2/3 of years worth of rain, triple what Monmouth experienced, to fall within a day or two, enough to wash homes and cars away and to completely flood the tube system in London if it happened there. No reporting in the media at all.

Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire.
  He could solve world hunger 166 times over but he chooses not to. Our politicians could tax him properly but they refuse to.
