Apparently, 20 members of the cabinet are millionaires.
I learned this from Channel 4's Dispatches programme last night, and it surprised me.
I thought the figure was a great deal higher.
Because the really worrying aspect of the stat is that you'd struggle to identify which ones aren't millionaires. They all look and act the same.
I'm not just talking about Ant and Dec, our joint leaders, and the egregious Osborne. Even the Hammonds and Mitchells of this world have been cobbled from the same last.
This is one reason why we had the significant difference of opinion over employment (or rather, unemployment) prospects between the spokesman for small businesses and "thirty five of the UK's leading businessmen". Most of the latter group could easily be in the Cabinet, except it doesn't pay well enough and they probably think Cameron's a bit of a pinko.
Small businesses are not widely known for their leftist leanings. But they do understand that these cuts are not going to hit tax-avoiding cabinet members nor thirty five of the UK's leading businessmen.
They're going to hit below the belt; and below the salt.
Today's listening: Bob, Witmark Demos, Bootleg Series #9. Trying to establish how this is different from the recording we've all had for years.
