"Britain hasn't been a good place for the poor and disadvantaged for long, long time. The elite have made sure of that..."
Is there a place that's good for such people? The elites have been slowly destroying the middle class for 30 years, I guess they don't realize that without a middle class, the economy pretty much goes *BOOM*.
Ask a car dealer if he'd rather sell 1,000 cars at $20,000 or 100 cars at $200,000. The numbers look the same, but the dealer will make a lot more money on the former and may well go bust on the latter. It's like the people who say that a consumption tax will level the tax playing field. It won't, because the rich eat the same amount of food as the poor. The rich may pay more for it, but they can afford it. The poor have to pay more, and they cannot afford it.
