On Question Time last night Polly Toynbee said that everyone should be paid the same; to which there was a large round of applause.

I'm not sure who is more dangerous:
Nick Griffin with his viscious hatred and racism
or
Polly Toynbee with her well meaning (and very flawed) ideology.

Does anyone know how much Polly Toynbee earns? How much is her house worth?

Sounds a great plan to me. I will do nothing all day and earn the same as someone who works their nuts off.

I don't agree with that statement one bit but it's worth pointing out that the societies with the happiest populations are the ones where the wealth gap is the smallest.

Yeah fair enough, we need to create opportunities to bring the lowest paid out of poverty, and we need to ensure that the highest paid don't increase their wealth at the expense of the majority.

However Marxism is not the answer.

Think of their love child.

It would be a well meaning racists.........

"Hello person of a different colour to me. Here have some of my wealth, oh and by the way; I hate you"

I don't know, Groucho had a few good ideas!

Marxism is outdated, it was relevant to the time and the place.

What about having a realistic minimum wage?

But that would cut into the profits made by the capitalists...

I'm all for having a "Social Conscience", but come on!!!
