If You've Got It, Flaunt It

Every year the Sunday Times publishes a Rich List which catalogues the immense wealth enjoyed by the capitalist class in Britain. This year's figures show a gigantic increase in their wealth. 'The wealthiest 1,000 people in Britain today, including 104 billionaires are worth £518.9bn, up 13% from the previous high of £449.65bn last year. Their total wealth has reached one-third of UK GDP - the value of all goods and services we produce.' (Sunday Times, 18 May) It shows the complete arrogance and confidence of these parasites that they make no effort to disguise their obscene wealth but openly boast of their affluence. RD
