If you or anyone else believes differently then try not paying that Tax to discover who the real owner is.
That little scam is just one example of how there's only minor cosmetic differences between the red and blues as they'll both screw you over with equal vigour while they bend and squat to accommodate multinationals and City of London bankers. To quote George Carlin: it's a big club and you and I aren't in it.
Some of us choose to see it, most don't.
