Nobody's criticising taxpayer support for deserving cases. It's the undeserving masses that are the problem.

That said, without economic growth, the deserving people become an unaffordable problem. This lies at the bottom of Ratcliffe's remarks. I've certainly not carped on "about how billionaires are right and know the problems of everyday folk". Ratcliffe simply happened to be right about some of what he said. Pity it was him - could have been anyone. Me, for example.

As regards his 'colonisation' remark, we are seeing a thickening end of the wedge of different cultures who are already flexing their muscles in Parliament. See Streeting for details who is shit scared of losing his seat so suddenly he's pro-Palestinian; you know - the October 7th lot.
