Inequality

The Scottish National Party claims that it is in favour of a more equitable society but in practice it has a completely unequal society. 'Holyrood's health and sport committee has completed an inquiry into health inequalities which mean that a boy born today in some affluent areas can expect to live 28 years longer than if he had been born eight miles away.' (Times, 5 January) Not only do the rich live more rewarding lives they even live longer. RD
