Interesting idea, but how do you do that? According to Leonard Beeghley “Many politicians, heirs to fortunes, top business executives such as CEOs, successful venture capitalists, and celebrities are considered members of the upper class. Some prominent and high-rung professionals may also be included if they attain great influence and wealth. The main distinguishing feature of this class is their source of income. While the vast majority of people and households derive their income from salaries, those in the upper class derive their income primarily from investments and capital gains.”

Eat the rich is an abbreviation of a saying attributed to Jean-Jacques Rousseau: “When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they’ll eat the rich”. ‘Eating the rich’ happens, literally, when the Masters or the Landlords are very stingy, grumpy, and inhumane to their servants.

“Problems involving members “might be debt, or it might be a scandal involving small boys”.
“They would come and ask if we could help,” Fortescue said. “And if we could we did, and we would do everything we could, because we could store up brownie points.
“That’s one of the reasons we would get a chap out of trouble – because he’d then be ours forever-more.”

How many bombs have gone off in busses? And how many times do we have to think about the prospect whilst using public transport? Disproportional to say the least. Blair was Thatcher’s fault.
The phrase was taken, I believe from the bible. “a statement which derives from John 8:32 and which Jesus Christ addressed to a group of Jews who believed in him.”
The freedom Jesus is talking about here is not political freedom or even physical freedom, but spiritual freedom. This is real freedom that only Christ can give.

I read this one, which gives the impression they should be watched around the clock. Since Thatcher reinvented the role as “cabinet enforcers” and my local MP was a tory chief whip, no MP is likely to get a free vote. Great book btw.

Is class, still a thing. or are we talking about wealth?
Democrats are attracting more affluent voters. Maybe because many of their representatives are from well-off families.
