The question is; are the right people paying the price for the financial crash, and our economic woes in general? I don't think the right people are.

I agree!

Clinton, Achtenberg and Co escaped relatively unscathed, that's real enough.

If you vote Corbyn the entire country will be paying the price for the next 50 years. Observe the comments made by May and Corbyn regarding the EU negotiation; one understands how to negotiate the other clearly does not. Worry about wealth redistribution in 5 years; first ensure we have wealth to redistribute.

It doesn't look as though Corbyn will have a chance to carry forward the Labour tradition and cause another economic fkup.

Quite, but what LDN is actually saying is 'i've done well. I can afford whatever he throws at me'. The reality may be his assets are KO'd and he gets more Corbyn than he bargained for. LDN if you think we have seen an exclusive list of rich taxes then you will be in for a shock. I hope you have absolutely shed loads to insulate your entire family and friends. Oh, and build a bunker in your garden for when Russia sail up the Thames

To be fair; I've seen many a post that is along the lines of what Trabi has written... it's a shame as it demonstrates just how many PH posters live in a bubble. I've said before; there are those in our society that work a damn lot harder than I do; and yet struggle to pay bills each month or put food in the table. The current system is simply not fair or right. I see myself as someone who could easily look down on those less fortunate, but I choose to see the reality of life for so many in the UK right now.

Talk is cheap - lots of people make claims they can't support or where they've simply made a perverse interpretation of what someone else has said.

Until proven otherwise I think we can therefore disregard the claims made by Trabi601 (although given the contents of most of what he posts, that's probably a good general rule to work by anyway).

It would certainly be fair for Blair, Brown and the cabinet who presided over the economy in the run up to the credit crisis, to pay the price somehow...

...and then pass whatever punishment onto the previous Tory government for a lack of investment into the country. If they did not invest, the Tories would've had nothing to stand on.

Hence the resurgence of Labour despite Strong and Stable May...

Wake up Sleepy Sidicks!

Unfortunately that statement applies to pretty much EVERY government from WWII onwards, whatever their political persuasion.
