He's definitely a prat. How about raising stamp duties on house purchases borris? Maybe add both a buyers and sellers stamp duty?
Elephant in the room: UK won't tax home buyers/sellers even though asset price inflation is what's driving the social rich/poor divide and only came about because of QE1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 + ZIRP. Don't tax businesses ffs! Tax passive capital appreciation. Grrrrrrrrr.
