inequality and privitization - how very Tory...

Two elements that annoy me most in politics are actions that further inequality, and an ideological commitment to privatization. While not necessarily related, these issues often are, since inequality is often a result of excessive market forces without sufficient state involvement, and privatization (if done inappropriately) often fuels this.

So depressing to read two articles in the Guardian today on each of these topics. Though, I suppose one would hardly expect anything else from the Tory party.
