The UK can ban under 16's from Social Media, and force everyone else to ID themselves so the Government can spy on their every move.
But it can't do a single thing to tax or control the billionaires.
We need politicians who aren't owned by the billionaires.

No MP should be earning £380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.
Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.
