If you want total equality, that’s the road you would take. Unfortunately, the equality warriors are not wired to apply common sense.

So it's not levelling up anymore, it's levelling down. I take it from your comment you'd quite like the idea of building walls. However, instead of getting all political about it, tell me what level of universal disposable income should we aim for? How much are you willing to sacrifice so you're equal to the people in the most deprived areas of the country? Many of those people you think should be behind a wall are really struggling and many of them work for organisations which already pay the same poultry wage across the county. So tell me, in your socialist utopia where everyone is paid the right amount for their area, just how little is enough?
