Whenever folks work it should be for the good of others and making a fair cohesive society not to make excessive wealth for your self. I still stick by my argument that nobody needs excessive wealth. It's wrong and unnecessary.
With all due respect roly that's just pure ideology.

I personally haven't a problem with great wealth but I have a problem with how that wealth buys privilege which is used to exploit , buy government or European Union policy , avoid taxation and basically not having to abide by the rules that many of us have to .



I have a problem with old boy networks gained at Eton and Oxford University who provide a clear path to the top where it is paid for not earned .

I'm for robust regulation of neoliberalism and everyone answerable to the state .

I'd suggest Thatcher's " leave to the market they know best " is all out of credit given the way the banking Industry crashed the economy and left the debt to the taxpayer to service and the aftermath it created which we see today .

People talk about the 1979 winter of discontent my word what about the decade of discontent and we haven't done yet by any stretch of the imagination but then again the winter of discontent was placed on the folk wearing boiler suits and hard hats who lived on council estates whilst the decade of discontent was created w@nkers in armani suits who live in Chelsea Harbour .
