That's as bad a generalisation as whoever bought up crap cars being parked outside council houses!! :doh: Not everyone in a big house is a crook - some just work damn hard and get paid accordingly. They also get taxed accordingly - 50% on a decent whack of it! Not to mention inheritance tax when they eventually snuff it - disgraceful, taxing the dead.
And I see this from all sides of the fence - working class background, trained Accountant and was a Tax Advisor for a short while, now out of that industry but have a nice enough house, etc etc. I just don't get the view that the rich/successful (and I don't class myself as being in that sector!) should be punished for doing well for themselves, very odd

MP's support robber banks and corporations cos they think there is summat in it for them, but muggers and petty crims mostly get off scot free as the police can't be bothered and the holiday camps that they like to call prisions are full.
There is, as there has always been, 3 or 4 distinct classes of people in the UK, the Ruling class:- Politicians, Civil Servants, corporate robbers. Serfs:- thats those that work for a living and generate the cash for others to squander. The parasitic class who live off the back of the Serfs.
Ordinary people cannot avoid tax (PAYE). Yes evasion and avoidance one for the poor to use and the other for the rich. Sadly only one is legal. And as in most cases it's the rich version, that the poor people can't use.

So if an old car that was once an expensive vehicle is on the drive way of a property on a council estate, the owner must be a criminal?
It seems a somewhat aggressive view that you wouldn't expect unless someone didn't realise the Daily Mail was a comic aimed at people not smart enough to understand The Beano or Woman's Own.
Plenty of people on estates own their own home, plenty who don't, work hard and just like anyone who works hard deserves some treats.
And let's face very honest facts here, a P38 is hardly much of a car. They can be bought for next to nothing and if you aren't doing high mileage then don't cost much to run, especially if you know how to fix the niggles or have a local mate who does.
Tobe honest, if more people bought cars they could afford instead of needing finance because they aren't man enough to park something in their price range on their driveway then this country would be a much better place to live. I'd have a pop at those total losers long before attempting to have a go at someone on a council estate with a knackered old banger on their drive way.
