Hoping for a new economy
FT: The UK has been outpaced by inequality
Following the National Equality Panel's report, this article wonders if any politician is going to do something about it. Or will the usual fusillade of self-serving falsehoods ensure nothing changes?

Thirty years ago, to even have partially settled on that bald statement, would have to invite social leprosy. I say partially, because the implied horror seemed to be directed at the beurocracy that was set up to administer the application of the notion,……..rather than the notion itself.
But therein lies the rub – how language has been corrupted. Anything that a Quango is in charge of is defiled by the very existence of said Quango……all the time forgetting that the idea of Quangos was first devised as a fast track circumnavigation of Government inaction and inadequacy.( And always cheaper – even today
If the idea of pursuing equality of opportunity is to be derided, it would be better for the (mostly) cerebrally challenged proponents of such abolition to remember that the same decency threshold is liable to slip up over their own heads, as time passes.
Or are the Neo-feuds in the ascendancy?
