Reaping the whirlwind barely describes where Labour's unholy war on the family has delivered them. In any normal society dependant members are cared for, be it at the beginning or end of their lives, within their families. Labour's Long Marchers had a particularly repugnant determination to destroy our families, the immediate and first source of resistance to their state of mind. The state they have tried to generate in our reality.
Now, as their cohorts reach incapacity through advancing age, their potential recruits suffer neglect, ignorance and appalling cruelty from the effects of encouraged atomistic self regard and immediate satiation of desires by those turned away from loving nurture of others, both face abandonment, suffering and even early death from the inhumanity of our New Society, our Third Way.
Most European societies embody family obligation in every cultural expression: from the most formal constitutional, then legal, then economically and socially sanctioned, then religious and belief system validated, to everyday informal expression. Not us. Not New Labour England. We are facing another tax, a levy rather, of £20,000 per estate, (and that will be just for starters) to pay for these, literally, orphans of the storm of ideology.
Faced too with the eerie coincidence of extensive propaganda pressure for 'assisted suicide' and the removal of legal sanctions even to the killing of the weak.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with this £20K per estate death tax. Because at the moment most people escape inheritance tax, either because they don't have over £300K in assets, or they give it away early enough, or they die and leave it all to their spouse which is tax free, however much it is.
But if this comes in it is entirely possible that anyone who owns their own house, and/or has a bit of savings would get hit by it. And if it is per estate, then there will be a double tax - on the first death, and again when the spouse dies. So a couple would pay £40K.
I think Labour have miscalculated big time with this. They probably think 'only the rich pay IHT, lets whack a bit on there, no-one will notice'. But unless its £20K on pretty much all estates, they won't raise anywhere near enough money. And if it is on all estates, a huge constituency of elderly people will be caught in it that would never have paid IHT otherwise. And old people vote. Bad move to p*ss them off.
Zactly zo.
