UK Politics

The Fabian Society, for whom socialism is essentially the Kingdom of Heaven: you won’t reach it, neither will your grandchildren, nor their grandchildren, but it may happen at some point in the distant future of humanity, so hold onto the idea to make the status quo more bearable. The best we can do is tiny, incremental reforms. It’s Burkean Conservatism in a red rosette.

Are the Guardian now just public relations for corporate Labour?

No one talks about Fabians or cares what they think outside Labour...

He adds: “The idea that squeezing a tiny elite of billionaires will pay for everything that we want and everything that we need is fantasy and we do need to expose that.”

The fact that we have a society with billionaires while millions are living in poverty means simply that the policies of the last 50+ years have failed our society.

Anyone defending billionaires is part of the problem and not looking for real solutions

I agree with this chap from the Fabian society, not only do we need to tab billionaires more, we need additional measures. These could be things like an exit tax, closing loopholes on inheritance tax, etc. That said, at least the Greens are addressing the growing inequality in this country, what does this think tank say on that?!

Here we go with the centrist nonsense that started this mess in the first place.
