Why not? The reason that hi is PM is that he was best for the job when it came to delivering BREXIT which is what the British and particularly the English people want.

All the rest of them should provide their own houses and pay for them themselves.

The British people have been taken for schmucks for FAR too long.
A bit like the Russian revolution without the bloodshed? Very socialist. Not sure how many wealthy individuals have a history of legitimate dealings.

The Russian Revolution had sfa to do with socialism, that was the Bolshevik Revolution that came very soon after.

As for wealthy , individuals, acquired gelt seldom exceeds two or three generations and is not stolen from the population unlike that stolen from Joe Public by the inbred shower of shysters that form the "royal" family.

People are often not aware of the events in Mother Russia during that period.

The Bolsheviks were right bastards but faced with Russia at that time the the ends justified the means.

Especially because there was a very active counter revolutionary movement actively supported by Britain and America that had to be suppressed.

Like I said I didn't see you as a socialist. But I stand corrected!
