    I bet if you shook a couple castles and country houses you could scrounge up a few pounds.

      Not necessarily. A lot of the old aristocracy isn’t all that wealthy any more. Not uncommon to hear stories where only a handful of rooms in a country house are occupied because they can’t afford to heat the rest.

      If we want to raise taxes the real target should be tackling the tax avoidance of enterprise.
