All perfectly ‘legal’ of course, but then who cares about morally legal ?
DO YOU ?

I am no statistician (took me 3 attempts to spell that) but even the figures you just quoted i would hazard at a guess they are nowhere near the 1%, nearer than us admitted.

FOR THE SAKE OF GOOD DEBATE COULD SOMEONE WHO DOES KNOW PLEASE POST THE DETAIL, THANKS.

I ALSO LIKE YOU, do not begrudge them, they like us are victims of circumstance and situation. Its not their fault they are financially more wealthy than me, and vice versa.

And besides all this, not seen or heard of any bankers or corporate’s rocking up and voicing their views on inequality. We all have them after all dont we :)

It is silly to not recognise where the speakers lie on the political spectrum and it is naive at best to think their presence won’t alienate the majority of people from this movement.
