THE SUPER-RICH ARE SUPER SCARED ... AND WHY A FEW APPEASERS’ HEADS SHOULD ROLL

NON-DOMS, or non-domiciled, are the super-rich who choose to live here because they can do so almost tax-free and keep their money safe and growing. But despite their non-dom tax concessions they are so rich that collectively they contribute almost £10billion a year to our revenue, about 2p on the basic rate of income tax.

It seems what they fear is our Brexit pull-out and a tax crackdown that might follow that. More likely the arrival of the ultra-Left in power in the form of John McDonnell, should the British electorate completely lose its marbles and vote neo-communist.

It seems up to 12,000 have left and another 55,000 are thinking about it. That figure is about half of the whole non-dom population. In short they are losing their nerve in all this (yawn) excitement. But remember the tides. What goes out will come back in again when the tide changes. It is up to our Government to stop faffing about and make the tide change. The mood of Brussels is that we have nowhere to go but capitulation to their demands in full and in this they are encouraged by the activities of our substantial fifth column for whom appeasement is the only policy.

A couple of very high-profile dismissals from office of leading appeasers would send across the Channel and throughout the appeaser community a simple message: we will not be threatened and we will not be blackmailed. Furthermore we DO have somewhere else to go: a series of blistering free-trade treaties with major non-EU trading nations which the EU at the moment forbids us even to talk to.

Exploratory talks indicate they are ready and waiting, eager to grab more of our very lucrative market. Only defeatism and appeasers-in-office can hold us back if we demonstrate that we really do have the nerve to walk rather than surrender.
