Tax Avoidance Protesters - why are they all so middle class?


Recommended Posts

After watching the news, we have more and more protest groups such as UK Tax Uncut, and they all appear to have the same kinds of people in them.

 

Namely very posh and middle class. We have just seen a woman on newsnight saying "oy think its disgasting that boots are rather avoiding tax... what what"

 

We also seem to see some very well dressed student types looking like they are having a fun day out causing mayhem in legitimate businesses, smashing windows and swearing at the Shop Supervisor

 

Oddly, you never see any Jeremy Kyle Show types protesting about tax avoidance. On the marches with cans of stella and a staffy on a lead

 

So why have these middle class hoyty toyty suddenly found their voices? do they not realise that the working class had been completely shafted by New Labour while they were in office? higher taxes and lower wages have left many workers completely out of pocket.

 

Is it a case of "Oh Thatchers party is back in, lets go on the Rampage"

All of this from a user whose name is LadOnDole?

 

And who is it do you think, pays for your 'free' money? I've paid more more tax than you've ever claimed boy. Get a job. You're either part of the problem or part of the solution.

At least over the last few years, people on the dole have not been protesting.

 

Suddenly, Conservatives are in and we have lots of posh people protesting about tax avoidance - whats there beef?

 

Tax avoidance and fiddling was rampant in the New Labour years. In fact it was almost compulsary among our elected elite

They are not posh....they just work.

Their beef is possibly from a quality butchers....because they work and don't have to shop at Netto's.
