Yes agreed. And never forget why we dont have a national wealth fund. Because the Boomers and their politicians - generally supported by you and the publications that you have worked for - wasted all those surpluses, including the vast windfalls from North Sea Oil. Worse, they actually sold off other state assets and then wasted the proceeds of those sales too. Awarded themselves tax cuts and pensions. Pensions that, despite all that other generosity to themsleves, they failed to fund properly and assumed their children would pay for. Children that cannot even afford homes because the Boomers throttled house building with idiotic Green Noose planning policies. Somehow the Boomers have also still failed to maintain our basic infrastructure in good order. The best way to fund a National Wealth Fund would therefore be to claw some of this back. Cut pensions. Increase IHT, Land and capital taxes. Although I agree it would be a mistake to waste too much of the proceeds of all this on NetZero. We need to refurbish ALL our infrastructure: our roads, rail, social housing, utilities and legacy energy arrangements.
