The appalling Philip Green is just part of the system. That’s the real scandal | Owen Jones | Opinion | The Guardian
"Ours is a broken economic system, rigged in favour of a tiny elite
whose fortunes more than doubled even as the wages of millions fell. It
is an elite riddled with contempt for
democracy, and will be damned if anybody wishes publicly to scrutinise
its affairs. It is happy to treat the state as a cash cow but reluctant
to pay taxes to contribute to its upkeep. It drips with machismo and
arrogance, believing that rules exist for the little people. And if this
system were to take human form, it would surely be Sir Philip Green."
