The Eve Of Destruction

Bosses at the FTSE 100 companies saw their pay rise by 49% last year.

They know it's unpopular, they know it's antisocial, but they just can't help themselves. It's sad, really. They're addicts.

This can't go on, can it- the very rich getting very much richer as everybody else gets poorer? 

I know it sounds melodramatic- and I've been trying to avoid saying it for that reason- but I think we're living in pre-revolutionary times.

Yes, the disappearance of jobs is part of the problem, but what about the people they're calling the "squeezed middle"- folk who are still in employment and used to be comfortable but are now finding it hard to make ends meet?

That I cannot say, but it feels related. I am reading quietly and waiting for the picture to coalesce.
