  Great interview. I think TB did miss an important point about the numbers out of work. The working classes are exhausted, disillusioned, and overwhelmed. Capitalism isn&apos;t working for them. They do everything right; go to work, play by the rules, pay their taxes only then to end up using food banks, not being able to afford the basics. Social media has a lot to answer for too. Mental ill-health is real today for sure and these are the reasons. Yes we have choice when it comes to jobs but are they well paid, fulfilling or do they just line the pockets of shareholders and reinforce the idea we are just cogs in the 1%&apos;s wheel keeping the wealthy and powerful in their penthouses?

  No Tony, the central problem of developed countries today, is we don&apos;t hold criminal leaders like you to account.<br><br>If Britain was a genuine meritocracy, then politicians like you would be put on trial and thrown in jail for what you did to this country.
