no, I speak in relative values to GDP

only during WW2 was spending higher.

on top of it UK does no longer spend on military or infrastructure, it goes overwhelmingly to consumption of dependent population

what are the rich anyway. UK average citizen is in the top 95 percentile in global wealth.

there are no poor in UK, just wasted opportunities.

if you want to listen how massive inequality is created in UK, start by looking at immigration

24 million people receiving benefits (aka cash) in uk

in addition to the usual free everything

free health care free roads free housing (often) free education

free riding and on top of it you get to complain about the rich!

tax revenues are higher than ever, government spending is higher than ever, social programs and social spending is higher than ever

also self entitlement, reliance on the government is at the highest, individual autonomy is at the lowest ever

the government spends 50% of GDP, as much as everyone else combined

If you still don't have enough, it's out of sheer incompetence and greed
