Of getting money off billionaires wasn't so crazy after all. The govt got voted in on the promise of spending on public services and will want to be seen to do it . Services have been cut to the edge anyway,so not many savings to be made.Where is the money coming from (to pay for all this)in the future ? I don't really understand the fine points of economics but I know at some time the books have to be balanced (or do they). Isn't the only option massive companies and individuals paying a bit more as part of a global effort (I realise this is unlikely)....thoughts please because I am confused
