Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

Corporations don't pay the headline rate of UK corporation tax (CT). Effective tax rates are lower because of tax reliefs & subsidies. Despite low effective CT rates, UK is at or near the bottom of the OECD investment league. Did low tax rate persuade water companies to invest or pay dividends?

FCA investigates collapsed lender MFS amid £1.3bn mortgage scandal. Shadow banking is unregulated, govt deregulating retail banking. Companies, hire, fire, pay auditors - no incentive to be vigilant. There is no central enforcer of UK company law. Where are the pressure points to curb abuses?

97% of Britons work jobs which force them to pay all the tax they should. 3% of Britons who get 50% of the money can choose to dodge almost all the tax if they want. That 3% of tax dodging wankers is who Reform work for.

Greenwash England’s water industry issued £10.5bn in ‘green bonds’ despite pollution record. Industry dumps tons of raw sewage in rivers, lakes and seas. Destroys marine life, biodiversity; creates health hazards. And spineless regulators call them green bonds. Travesty.

UK subsidises energy prices in other countries. Investors, state entities from Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Israel, Italy, Korea, Norway, UAE & the US own most of UK energy sector. £514bn operating profit since 2020. Profits/Dividends go abroad. Britons pay the price of privatisation dogma.

Average annual household energy bill hits £1,755. £4.43bn energy debt, people can't afford it. Since 2020 big energy companies made £514bn operating profit. 128000 a year die in fuel poverty Profiteering fuels inflation, poverty. Can't rebuild economy without ending profiteering.
