I suspect that the answer is not at all. The 1% don’t really get impacted much by the UK tax system. If anything it’s simply a case of them not getting a teeny-tiny bit less ginormously rich.
As for the wonderful corporations making money out of the scheme, well - a lot of them aren’t actually making money out of the contracts which is why a lot of them are trying to renegotiate or get out of doing it or are just doing it really badly.
The others are making money but would just be making money elsewhere anyway so no net change in wealth there.
It’s pretty much not hailed as a huge success, even the Tories are having problems trying to say that but it will still be pushed countrywide. That’s already planned.
I mean that’s real fuckwittery. It’s one thing to tout a crap scheme as being wonderful and rolling it out but when you actually accept that the scheme is causing real hardship and that that is due to the incompetence with which its being administered and still roll it out?
Where’s my knitting?
