Whilst the wealth of the very wealthy has increased through the pandemic, the CPS wants to prevent future tax rises and calls for sacking 160000 public sector workers, sell off valuable council houses to replace with cheap ones, cut child benefit, cut overseas aid, cut pensions. It is like some horror movie that these people (who I would guess are public school educated, or at least privileged with steady protected incomes) can sit around and work out how to screw more money from the poorest in our society. Do they practise cackling as well?
