A £70,000 salary defines you as rich?

[AFC East]

What utter tosh. £70,000 equates to around £4,000 per month, net. Call it £1,000 per week.

Now let's subtract essentials: Cigarettes and booze, £210 per week. Food, £200 per week.

So we're left with £590 per week to pay for motoring expenses, eating out, holidays and staff?

Fúck off. Impossible.

Obviously you can live reasonably comfortably on £70k (assuming you don't have a mortgage, naturally) but 'rich'? Absolute nonsense.

Shows how out of touch with ordinary people the left is.

So it's the top 5%. Surprisingly low value. I'd have figured that at over £100k. I'd happily pay more tax if I thought it would do any good, but I'd imagine they'll just piss it up the wall anyway.
