In six months or so my Mum’s assets will drop to zero, and mine will go up a comfortable amount, a huge reduction in inequality! And all it took was my Mum dying. It happens to all of us. These people are just complaining their parents aren’t dying soon enough.

You are powerless, Spud.

And so am I, but inequality bothers me not at all. Elon having more money doesn’t affect me.

The inequality that bothers me is the people who have political influence versus the people who don’t.

You don’t understand; any money of Elon’s should be in Ritchie’s hands to spend for the good of humanity.

Other than Murphy’s well-deserved salary for doing so, of course.

That’s between Spud and Elon (a catchweight contest on every level). What I object to is that he wants to get his sticky, pudgy fingers on my loot, too!

But, but, but … it’s his lived experience.

Or maybe his livid experience. Chap can’t even afford a new choo-choo.

Thankfully he is powerless, or we’d all be penniless.

Inequality is growing in Ely. His neighbour has gone on holiday.

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace equal.”

Wait . . . what?

At last! He’s written something half right.
Politics is failing.

I feel powerless when the Labour Party is running through its greatest hits of stupidity, and nearly 30% of the electorate still wants to vote for them.

Yeah, Premier League footballers get paid a lot more than my pension …
So does Tyson Fury and Oleksandyr Usyk – does Murphy fancy a few rounds with either of them to reduce the inequality?
I personally have no objection to James Dyson or Nick Price (or even Taylor Swift) being a multi-millionaire: Dyson’s inventions (or if you prefer to call them his brilliant design innovations) have improved the life of ordinary people and his reward is a fraction of the value that we attribute to them.
