In his resignation letter Lord Frost expressed his wish that the UK would become a “lightly regulated, low-tax” country. In other words like Daniel Hannan and the ERG cabal Frost wants the UK to become deregulated Brexit tax haven for the rich.

Frost's remark is a rare glimpse into the Tory Brexiters' real motivations, which they cynically hid from voters. They want a deregulated economy with taxes far too low to maintain the NHS or welfare - a brutal tax haven, a libertarian's wet dream.

A tax haven UK could never become another Singapore, because it is too big for the influx of tax-dodging money to provide good public services from low taxes. Instead it would become an archipelago of islands of obscene wealth set amidst a sea of public squalor.

A tax haven UK would not have business owners attached to its towns and cities like Victorian Britain. It would be colonised by the most venal and corrupt elements of the global super-rich who would simply see it as a resource to be exploited.

In a tax haven UK our political elite would become the grovelling puppets of their global super-rich paymasters, and would be paid to ensure that such inconveniencies as democracy and laws could not interrupt their pursuit and enjoyment of vast wealth.

Of course some readers will have noted that much of the dystopian tax haven future I have described already exists in the form of our present venal and corrupt Tory government and their super-rich paymasters.
