Huge economic divide in the UK

« FAILURE TO TEACH THRE… | Home | UK ELECTIONS NOT "FRE… »

The chief executive of Marks & Spencer believes the UK is fast becoming a very divided nation: the rich who live inside the M25 - and the rest.
Speaking earlier this month, Sir Stuart Rose said there was a widening gulf between the have-nots and the have-a-lots, which is now wider than he had seen in 35 years behind the counter of stores such as M&S, Burton and Dorothy Perkins. "I have never seen such a polarised UK economy," he said. "The rich are so very, very rich. The West End can't get enough diamonds. But the poor are getting poorer. Outside London it is a completely different economy."

Those who live in the city live for money. (Even the ones who haven't got any)

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
"

From William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
