At the moment a lot of information about our personal lives is given
away to companies to exploit, most of it is taken free or with minimal
back payment in the form of subsidies (that "cheap" smart TV). It
probably is worth billions.
HM Government should be the receiver of some (or most) of that, and
should use it to fully fund the BBC, and subsidise taxes that are
crippling UK businesses.
TAX Google, Paramount, Microsoft, Amazon, etc, etc....
That would be smart TV.

Unfortunately, Google, Paramount, Microsoft, Amazon, etc, offshore their
tax liabilities and also employ very smart lawyers and accountants.
makes it very difficult for Rachel to go after them for the tens of
billions she rCyneedsrCO. ItrCOs much easier to go after the ordinary people who
have none of these tax-dodging schemes available.
Stand by for a harsh budget next week.

The UK Government is THE GOVERNMENT. Should have as much weight as my
use of capitals there :|
Smart evading lawyers and accountants that argue the toss between cakes
and biscuits, should be sat down and given a talking to...

Hmmm... Has anyone trained a LLM on just the UK's tax rules, the--
decisions of the many governments that have shaped those rules over centuries? Based on all that, what would the machine do now sat in
Rachel Reeves seat?
I'm not saying they don't, just give the Taxonomy rules a bit of a
