    I don’t see how addressing this loophole is a bad thing

    I think it is a lot of political noise over what is incidental to a country that exists largely as a tax haven and tool of investor expropriation. Do it. Don’t do it. You’re still a country predicated on money laundering for oligarchs abroad.

      I’m not about to pick fights with good legislation over it not immediately solving the entire problem

          You can’t seriously mean that. There’s good stuff happening all the time, the lockdowns in COVID (even if the MPs were hypocrites, the legislation itself was good), adding LGBT+ awareness to PSHE for all state schools, pledging even more money to the NHS, free school meals, the ULEZ Zone.

          Just because there’s also plenty of bad stuff, and lots of progress to still be made, doesn’t mean they don’t do anything good.
