        I bet much of the wealth created by the GDP growth is going into the pockets of the rich and the average Joe is getting screwed, just like in the US.

On the contrary, Blair even accepted that many of them had been necessary.

              He's right though. This country has not seen such a disparity between the rich and the poor for many decades.

                        All these reports are doing is frigging around with distributions. We have no poor in the UK.

                                Completely improvised manipulation of a popular metaphor. I am sure an educated man such as yourself should be interpreting what I am trying to say
