Non-Dom Nation

I feel for the poor, confused Tories.

On the one hand, they want to defend an arrangement unique to Britain that enables you to inherit a tax benefit, but only through your father, and even then only if he was married to your mother, with the benefit itself being useless unless you happened to be seriously loaded on an international scale.

On the other hand, your father's ancestor who first acquired that benefit has to have been an immigrant (originally, of all things, French), and the system has contributed to creating today's London where part of the South of England used to be.

It is a true dilemma for the Tories. A very true dilemma indeed.

  1. I wish you were a candidate, I wish you were an MP, I wish you were our MP. That Geordie Shore reject has a lot to answer for. He'll never be an MP either, but you deserve more vengeance than that.
