REWIND: Nigel Farage on Broken Britain & Who Controls The World
Disruptors
Are We Paying Our Fairest Tax Rate?
When Osborne became Chancellor in 2010, the tax code was about 13,000 pages. It's now well over 20,000 pages and there are way too many layers of it. Are we paying the fair tax rate? Well, you know, if you look at what the top one percent are contributing. The idea that the rich or the big earners aren't paying their fair share is for the birds. And the risk is that you cheese them off too much. They just bugger off.
An incredibly exciting and thought-provoking episode with arguably one of Robās most Disruptive guests to date, broadcaster and former politician Nigel Farage!

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Nigel believes that people disrupt things to challenge the status quo. Disruption is often needed to change things for the better, Nigel thinks things havenāt been disrupted nearly enough in the world yet.
- It is plain for all to see that there are a lot of differing and polarising views on coronavirus. Nigel Farage thinks governments havenāt been honest enough from the start and itās something we can learn to live with going forward. He is not prepared for his liberties to be taken away from him again so will not obey any further lockdowns.
- There is a big difference of mindset between a corporate business and the entrepreneur. The government may understand big business somewhat but they certainly donāt have a clue about small businesses and entrepreneurs. Nigelās experience of working with the political class has shown him that there is a massive disconnect between the UK government and businesses.
- It was inevitable that Brexit was going to cause massive changes, there was always going to be winners and losers. However, Nigel thinks there are countless upsides to small business owners and entrepreneurs that the government still hasnāt utilised.
- Tax and Welfare need reforming drastically. Past governments have de-skilled the British population and have also turned what should be a safety net, into a very large welfare state. It has changed young peopleās mindsets and there is a lack of aspiration among the younger generations especially.
- Nigel would love to run for Prime Minister but with the current UK system this is just not possible. He thinks that the UK political system needs a complete overhaul and bringing into the 21st century, starting with removing the first past to post system and the house of lords.
- Nigel believes that Boris Johnson has a very clever act and it has got him very far in his political career. However, he thinks the mood of the public after many lies and most recently, the revealing of all of the covid parties in government, will very likely be the end to it.
- The de-platforming and silencing of conservative voices across social media platforms is worrying to Nigel. He thinks itās the medias way of trying to gain back control.
