At least he’s an honest twat ;)
So it isn’t or shouldn’t be a surprise that he said it. They’re all driven by fear. Fear of losing, giving up their place at the top. They know that in the U.K., with the infrastructure, policies, media and the general personality of the country all geared around hierarchy, the only way for social mobility and for the wealth gap to close is for people at the top to move down. They won’t allow it. They want a tiered society with cheap public services for the masses and those that can afford it to pay a premium for premium care. They don’t want equality, they vote for the status quo.
Many of them quite like the chaos too, the kind who worship Mystic Moggs old prophecies.
