Dr Alf is right about the “compassionate” writer of this typical Guardian piece, Paul Mason.
Paul Mason needs to look at the makeup of the Guardian Media Services Board and the tax evading tactics it uses, which would make Amazon and Microsoft, Starbucks and Glaxo have a run for their money. To a man or woman, these people are all Cambridge educated and from wealthy or comfortable backgrounds and as tax evaders Guardian Media Services are taking money out of the system which could be used to provide preventative healthcare and health education.
The Guardian has long campaigned for greater fairness and equality in the country, yet through its advertisements left wing apparatchiks are recruited into quangos, the NHS, local authorities which are amongst the most inefficient and obdurate and uncompetitive organisations anywhere in the country.
In a person, the Guardian’s behaviour would be rightly regarded as hypocrisy and for Paul Mason to write as he does is double hypocrisy.
Inequality has existed in this country since it was founded and has always led to unequal morbidity and mortality outcomes. There is nothing new in this and the problem transcends political parties, even those that the Guardian and Paul Mason supports, so we should take his indignation and manufactured compassion with a very large pinch of salt.
