The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. So much for NEW Labour's Socialist roots. Give a politician a nice fat paycheck and he turns into a money-grasping Tory it seems. The old nobles became Lords, Lairds & Kings because they were the biggest, the leeryest and the loudest thugs. The only thing that seems to have the changed by much is the method.
Britain seems to have always had such a difficult task shaking off politicians greed and corruption. Hummph!
Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.
