It appears the Brexiteers, Trumpers and just about anyone else with a few quid has in fact been happily avoiding tax while us proles stump up. Far from being at one with the people, the likes of Ashcroft and Ross et al prove that both campaigns were a scam, no different to the usual bullshit and bluster; Brexiteers are still robbing us (see Gove's latest expenses claim) because they are thieves cowering under a cawl of 'legitimacy', protected by privilege.

Of course of interest to those of still suffering under the Norman Yoke is the fact that Brenda has been stuffing her (er, 'donated' under duress by her 'subjects') backsheesh into various dodgy businesses not least of which are predatory high-street usury specialists Brighthouse, a business that exploits the poor by playing on the feeling of 'missing out' and selling them tat a extortionate interest rates.

The hypocrisy of the monarchy is exposed after her she said in her 2016 Queen's speech that "legislation will be introduced to tackle corruption, money laundering and tax evasion."

So here we are. All the snouts are still in the trough, and it will ever be thus until we vote in a genuine anti-corporate, pro socially responsible capitalist government that stands up for the rights of the ordinary people, not liars, lickspittles and demagogues.

We get what we vote for.
