johnny9fingersPerusing my morning paper over a cup of the brew that cheers these two stories leapt off the front page:
www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/oct/28/housing-benefit-cap-plan-backfire
www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/oct/28/uk-boardroo-pay-soars
Just a couple of signposts on the road to let us all know where we're heading.
But but but we can't tax boardrooms and we can't subsidise the poor. However we can subsidise the wealthy and give them assistance in whatever moves they make to exploit, reap profit, or sequestrate monies, goods, property and rights from those with very little to start with.
I reckon I'll be a screaming communist by the end of this year....me and Boris too, probably.

Date: 2010-10-30 06:34 pm (UTC)It's already happened here. As a result I live in a city with some of the highest and most extreme differences between rich and poor in the country. Homeless populations larger than many towns. Violence ... increasing.
(mind, I'm technically borderline homeless but now that I'm renting a room - not quite)
