This is a superlative article and I enjoyed reading it, even though I felt like I was going to vomit over my keyboard at the lifestyle of the Ecclestones. Crystal baths? Private nightclubs? Pet salons? I sit at a 6 year old creaking pc on a piece of lawn furniture wearing primark's finest and live in a house with zero insulation (i feel as apprehensive about the winter as the heroes of Game of Thrones). I cannot relate to these people at all. I cannot understand it - a £45 million home? I have no idea what miss Ecclestone does, but surely that is wealth beyond the dreams of avarice, to coin a phrase.
I'm not here to compare my lot with hers. It's not a sob story (the only thing I really crave is a decent PC, frankly - and it needn't be made from mexican crystal). But the point is this:
Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor: that is how our economies work.
A brilliant concise observsation that the ruling rich disngenuously disown. I personally believe there should be fairness and I am always loathe to hear people trot out the tired old 'life ain't fair sonny jim' line. Life should be fair, and we can start by petitioning our corrupt leaders to do something about it.
