Good thing too… if those rich people had to pay tax then they’d leave the country. Who would pay all that tax that they don’t pay if they did leave… er… er… it made sense when the posh man said it on the radio this morning and his poshness made me believe it with all my poverty-stricken heart.

For me it’s a conspiracy theory (and most likely untrue) - but it’s quite an interesting one rather than “stupid”. Raises ideas about authenticity and what people are doing when they go to look at artifacts in museums. There HAVE been paintings, for instance, hung in galleries for years that have turned out to be forgeries but - for a long time people were happy staring at the “art”. Also, ones that have been restored beyond a point where they are pretty much not the original piece. How much would it alter things if the Marbles were all replaced with exact replicas at the British Museum?

Isn’t there a conspiracy theory that everything on show at the British Museum is a replica anyway and that the real artifacts are carefully stored elsewhere?

You might be in with a chance… of higher water bills. Just for your friends, of course.

I’m also not rich to start with and didn’t go to public school either. I guess I just need to learn my place and celebrate the achievements of others.

Anyone able to give me career advice about how to become a Thames Water executive? Doesn’t look hard to do and you keep getting bonuses!
