It's good to see that you have decided to dedicate all your time on here to trolling.

Well done.

No, created from thin-air by a bank, then passed to the cronies do with however they see fit.

Capitalism my aaaarse

Interesting view. If that were the case, then any left leaning politician would just get rid of the BoE and just print their way to 'equality'.
Capitalism will always be tarred with the inequality it causes, which to be honest is dependant on the politicians more than anything else.
I do believe party donations should be banned and there should be some sort of public fund account for the established parties. Any parties trying to come through can be funded as they please but would need to have 100k signatures or something like that to be allowed 'into the club', when they would have to renounce any private funding.

Capitalism is about to run it's course.

In an age where we are about to make up to 70% of the workforce redundant due to automation, robotics and AI you cannot leave all those people to fend for themselves.

I'm not sure universal basic income will be the answer but there needs to be much better ways of distributing wealth.

I agree, but I'm not sure it will be for another few decades yet. The main problem is we have politicians in charge, which I honestly believe will need to change at some point because all they seem to be able to do is debate and turn us against each other. I voted remain, simply because I knew that leave would decrease the price of my house. It was that simple. From an ideological pov, I do believe being out is the right thing, but and there is a massive but, we have to trade with people and even if we are out, there's no guarantee that we still don't have to follow their laws and allow the free movement of EU citizens even if that is not what it's called.
I do actually agree with limiting the entry of workers/people to the skill set we need. I'm not too sure of the figures but if wages are being surpressed in the building trade and we still allow 20,000 builders a year to enter our country then guess what? Wages will be stagnant.
There is also the cultural change it brings too and mainly the speed at which it happens, especially for the mid to older generation. You can call it whatever ist you would like, but it's a valid concern.
But, really, our politicians have failed us miserably with their incompetence and not just one party, the whole lot of them.
