    We were born in the uk but left last year after 50 years and took our business, money and kids with us. We could see Labour were coming and we knew what that meant. We sleep much easier and now live in a low regulation environment, so our business can start to expand. Treating biz profit like PAYE is bonkers. Let me know when an employee has their home on the line with the bank for their performance in a salaried job and I'll listen. We are not alonr. There is a genuine flow of UK folks turning up here, typically SME biz owners, who feel the same. Good luck everyone.

    In this political climate we have to be careful is not to present "objective analysis" masquerading as "political ideology".
    "Independence" is NOT free of political bias.

    This is the best interview I have seen in sometime. My overriding feeling is that Labour really don’t know what to do in government and will be found out quickly. And the Tories have totally lost the plot. We really need one of the main parties to have a clear concise vision to get the country back on track.

    It's great to see someone who has consistently challenged the government to channel more and more money to the rich in the hope that they will sprinkle some crumbs to the rest of us fumbling around for answers that aren't there. Bankrupt ideas from a bankrupt philosophy promoted consistently by the Spectator.

    There are three main spending areas that the government HAS to spend upon after maintaining itself and security. Health/NHS, Education and Welfare. Those are the Vote " Holy Grails"! But no government can get enough tax revenues to pay for it without borrowing!
    So what do you cut without losing an election?

    Interesting, although it's clear that Paul Johnson is not beat described as 'independent' especially when it comes to his massively anti-brexit position. All that said, he's right when it comes to the Reform party. I do like many of their policies, especially when it comes to immigration and culture, however their claims about cutting taxes, whilst at the same time spending more in many areas are somewhat dubious!

  • @gravitaslost

    No. but governments are allowed to be fiscally responsible anymore, even when they're nowhere close to balancing the budget it still gets labelled 'Austerity' so why would they try, just print more money and ignore any inevitable debt crisis. Every other country is doing the same thing anyway so how can it be wrong? At least we'll all collapse together in a beautiful domino effect!
