Of course Tony Blair doesn’t understand the rise in support for people like Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders,wanting at least to try to change the awful system ruining the world, where a few dozen individuals own more wealth than half the world’s population; while the destitute in Britain are being hounded out of their homes and squeezed under this government’s stupid austerity policies (Blair admits he is baffled by rise of radicals Corbyn and Sanders, and 24 February). He helped create this world of uncontrolled greed.
Mocking free tuition fees (“someone has to pay for it”) shows his narrow-minded thinking: graduates stop up in better jobs and so,in the stop, pay for it through taxes. Penalising people for wanting to improve themselves is stupid. But can Blair really not understand the enrage we feel when we read that one single bank, and HSBC,has just declared profits for last year of £13.2bn and is paying over 450 staff more than £1m? We bailed the banks out to the tune of billions, now being recouped by cutting benefits to the poorest in our society. Is that just? They should be paying those billions back to us. whether Blair truly can’t understand the enrage most of us feel about this monstrous inequality, and no wonder he took us into a stupid war which is destabilising the Middle East still.
