There's about £750 Billion of stagnant funds held by UK businesses in their bank accounts.

The companies that own that money made it by being privileged to be based in the UK, i.e. they benefited from the UK people, the UK business environment and its regulatory systems. So, they owe the UK a very big payback at times like this.

It would take approximately 20% to 25% of that £750 Billion to create new jobs for every unemployed person in the UK. That sum would also include the full wage bill for 1 year at UK average salary level.

And NO the rich are not the only people who work hard. Many do work hard but many of them only play at working or don't really work at all. It's a question of proportionality not one extreme or the other. I'd like to see many rich people's attempts at doing a real day's work....especially year in, year out on the marginal wages that some are paid. The gap between rich and poor is on record as being greater than it has ever been...and it is getting bigger faster.

Oh, and while that £750 Billion is sitting in bank accounts, guess who is benefiting most! 10 out of 10 if you answered "bankers" who have been proven to be collectively irresponsible and led by those with the greatest psychotic traits in society.

Time to deal with empirical evidence, not the opinionated and unsubstantiated extremism that's found at either end of the rich/poor, left/right political spectra. Time to kick out the traditional political parties who have demonstrated their incompetence and vested interests too many times to count.
