Restore Britain Policy #3: Abolish all taxes which cost the nation more than they collect and kill indirectly

Taxation is responsible for 1 in 15 of all deaths in the UK

I'm going to show you how most of the UK's multitude of taxes could be abolished overnight, with no general loss to the nation's finances. And if this policy is not pursued there will continue to be tens of thousands of excess deaths annually. Not to mention failed business and high unemployment.

For detail on the tax death toll globally see here: Government & Tax Death Toll

Here is our primary abolition policy. The following would all be immediately abolished: 

Out of the 25 current taxes, just 9 of them deliver 95% of the total revenue. So abolish the other 16, immediately and without delay. And all the huge state infrastructure that goes with them. 

I hear you. This is an astonishing policy to drop in your lap. Yet is it untrue that it causes our citizens so much undue harm?  Most taxation is harmful through deadweight losses, collection costs and policing the evasion. And the obscene negative killer effects this has on the lives of the nations own people. 

For some perspective HS2 cost £100 billion. But these 16 useless taxes are only half of that cost. And our nuclear power program, which I support fully in principle appears to be yet another a giant money laundering scam at Hinkley and Sizewell. Another £60 billion mostly gong into the pockets of scroungers. There is no need for these tripling costs. They must be a systemic scam much like we're seeing rife within the NGO's and charity already. KILLERS! 

I would say keep only the top 7 taxes with the following caveats:

  • Income tax - raise the amount at which you start to pay it to £30K, the median wage, to get several million more into work right away. And to promote those already in work on low pay. To keep the lying professors happy at Oxford and Cambridge, raise the basic rate to say 22%.
  • National insurance - this is effectively an income tax so should be subsumed into income tax to save more deadweight admin costs.
  • VAT - could be scrapped immediately without harm to Britain. The boost to the economy would be immense and immediately raise the tax base through higher employment and more business success. It would also be key to setting Brexit in concrete at last.
  • Corporation tax - this could be seen as a tax on monopoly and it remains to be seen if its a good tax. I expect on further study it is. But not for the small business which should be exempt. They are easy to identify - they spend no time in 'the lobby'.
  • Council tax - is a tax on location value effectively. Scrap it and roll it up into an annual rent on the land value alone, exempting the building's capital value to help owners with improvements.
  • Capital taxes - comprising stamp duty on real estate transactions & stocks and inheritance tax. Controversial. And if these are largely taxes on location value already, roll them up into business rates and council tax too. Obviously controversial, but no one complaining about IHT understands its cause and effect. And for housing sales the tax will come out of the selling price already anyway.
  • Business rates - similarly to council tax this is a location value tax, do the same with it, perhaps making it and council tax the same tax. Valuations have already been done and are an easy function.

In case you were wondering, the state steals about £750 billion a year from your hard work and private property. It gets about another £250 billion from other sources.

So the first duty of an honest government would be to target the biggest problem first - taxation. Because by tackling the biggest problem first, makes everything else that much easier to resolve.

You can verify all this data from the following government data. All gleaned from the states own numbers. Yet beware. The ONS is rather discredited since the pandemic - ONS Data tables for: Appendix D, Public sector current receipts, January 2026

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale.  2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe  More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
