MARK ALEXANDER: When I was a little boy, my mother used to get milk for the family delivered right to the door by the milkman. Naturally, it would be full cream milk, or whole milk.
In those days, unless otherwise requested, most milk was unhomogenized. So the cream would separate and rise to the top of the glass bottle.
Isn’t this what happens in British society? Doesn’t all cream, the best part, always rise to the top? When this happens in society, when all fat rises to the top, it means that the privileged few, the élite, can live off the hard labours of the many that have the misfortune to be beneath them.
So the privileged few at the very top of society are allowed to live the life of Riley, whilst the less fortunate have to scratch around for a few crumbs and satisfy themselves with some whey to scape by on?
This is what life is like for so many of the less fortunate in post-Thatcherite, post-Brexit Britain.
Let us be brutally honest, the Tories have created a fine bloody mess, they have created a right screw-up. Or as we might say in German: Die Tories haben Mist gebaut! They have looked after their own interests, but have cocked a snook at the interests of the many and at the interests of the nation. And they have the nerve to call themselves patriots!
As an American might say: Go figure!
