The probalem is with all of this it ignores that some people have an easier start to life and a headstart and others don't.

I don't actually think Labour wants to go after people who work hard they actually want to go after the very people you want them to go after. That's why the media are so against them, or any non tory party.

The tories actually go after the real hard workers, hence the squeezed middle and work classes while multi millionaires get away with everything.

The problems in our country start and end with inequality.
Essentially I'm talking about going after the landowners the earls etc. These throwbacks to feudal Britain that still control billions of wealth. I personally think that would have huge public support. The fact that they still exist in a developed, modern country is utterly baffling.

You're entirely right about certain people having a headstart over others. But most of them are still tiny fry compared to the few ultra wealthy.

If we nationalised grosvenor estates and Crown estates we could probably pay off the national debt. We need a good grass roots campaign to go after the bastards
