It hasn't been a fair split for a very long time though, a fairer distribution of wealth is long over due. They Tories have looked after me financially ok so far during this, if a was a member of the sod you jack i'm alright community i'd probably be very happy atm i am even allowed to still trade as classed as healthcare as long as i do it under strict control. but i am not one of them and i hate seeing others suffer.
It's never actually been balanced, that's not how it works never has been. Nevermind 1% versus 99%, the reason we have a good quality of life here is because we take resources from other parts of the world.
It's physically impossible for everyone in the world to enjoy the quality of life we currently have so equality would mean taking a significant drop in living standards to live within what is possible on a small globe.
We live a lot closer to the 1% standard of living than say a bloke in a random village in the middle of country where mains plumbing and electricity are a dream.
Not that I disagree with the fact that the 1% appear to have really benefitted from all financial issues since 2008 while the masses have suffered but a little perspective is also good.
Today what made me smile..First fill up in ages, looking at my records 30/03, because really begrudge using pin readers decided I'd download the garage app to pay so only thing need to touch with a gloved hand was the fuel nozzle. Made me a little nervous..just the garage doesn't have the more modern pumps where you put your card in so it looked like I did a drive off! But by the time I sat back in the car I had an email for fuel so it was apparently good. That should be made good for another month or so given it's doing about 47 to the gallon the now the temperatures have gone up.
