"As this is a thread about the concentration of wealth, it's just interesting to observe that both Polly Toynbee and Dawn Porter are both comfortably in the 1%. Do as I say, not as I do?"
Absolutely Primrose. I won't read anything by the sickening Toynbee. She is the epitome of 'champagne socialist'.
I think there is also an argument for not bringing children into the world unless you can support them and not expect the state to provide, but hell's teeth, that's another can of worms. I'd be very surprised if that is part of Toynbee's argument. Being abjectly poor is something many of us know about, as is survival, before I am lectured about being 'uncaring'. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I am more concerned about people paying their dues, and indeed the wealth gap, housing being tied up as investment and tax loopholes. There is revenue to be made there instead of surreptitiously hammering the working class who put the hours in but get nowhere fast in terms of social mobility.

Passports not in the drawer I always keep them in. Turning the place upside down.
