The Underclass

Despite how many years is it now of new Labour, we see little in the way of redistribution of wealth. Indeed the underclass of sink estates, poor education and few prospects is still there, disaffected, hating asylum seekers and watching Big Brother as if it were Life on Earth. And they have nothing; indeed less than nothing. As this article from the excellent Motley Fool shows, half the population own only 3% of non-property wealth, but have a substantial share in the nations £3,000,000,000,000 debt. But who gives a damn about the chavs apart from the BNP?
