Think your on about private sector media Sha; the BBC (despite it's PC luvvy culture) is about as independent as we're going to get.

I can't believe the Tories didn't defuse this bomb earlier, they could have got all this out of the way 12 months ago

Think they tried to "get it out of the way" 10 years ago, when he allegedly signed up to some conditions in order to be honoured with an unelected seat in our legislature. How the hell, are we ever going to get social justice in which everyone contributes proportionately in taxation and the record wealth gap is reduced, when ALL the Parties are relying on these tax evaders to fund them - what notice are they ever going to take of the Plebs, as long as they're the whores of the rich.

A lot of people wouldn't want social justice Obs,

because there's a lot of plebs who like to think they're a little better than other plebs and the amazing strength of this need to feel a little superior is what makes them so easy to manipulate by the few that are robbing us all!

Social Justice

 

Social justice is the application of the concept of justice on a social scale.

The term "social justice" was coined by the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli in the 1840s. The idea was elaborated by the moral theologian John A. Ryan, who initiated the concept of a living wage. Father Coughlin used the term in his publications in the 1930s and 40s, and the concept was further expanded upon by John Rawls' writing in the 1990s. It is a part of Catholic social teaching and is one of the Four Pillars of the Green Party upheld by the worldwide green parties. Some tenets of social justice have been adopted by those on the left of the political spectrum.

Social justice is also a concept that some use to describe the movement towards a socially just world. In this context, social justice is based on the concepts of human rights and equality and involves a greater degree of economic egalitarianism through progressive taxation, income redistribution, or even property redistribution, policies aimed toward achieving that which developmental economists refer to as more equality of opportunity and equality of outcome than may currently exist in some societies or are available to some classes in a given society.

Of course I'm aware of the failings of "human" nature Sha; folk like to know their place in the food chain, and always tend to look down below them on the ladder to gain comfort; rather than looking up the ladder.
