Who owns Britain?

Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%.

Fewer than 60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity, according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that urgent action has become essential. The authoritative World Inequality Report 2026, based on data compiled by 200 researchers, also found that the top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90% combined, while the poorest half captures less than 10% of total global earnings.

Wealth – the value of people’s assets – was even more concentrated than income, or earnings from work and investments, the report found, with the richest 10% of the world’s population owning 75% of wealth and the bottom half just 2%.
 
A shame really because he does seem like a. decent person deep down.
Most lefties are fundamentally nice people. They want the world to be nice and want everyone to share, hug and be happy. But they're also fairly simple - they seem to really believe that those who believe otherwise actually want the world to be cruel and selfish. That just isn't true, the reality is that most have seen socialism in action and have learnt that it's not actually nice at all in practice.

We're starting to see the classic results of socialism as seen around the world here now - crackdowns, enforcement and elimination of anyone who doesn't agree. Things are getting worse by the week, it's going to be insane within a couple of years. Getting rid of juries (after 800 years, without discussion or mandate), ID tracking apps on everyone's phones, internet censorship, locking up people for having the wrong opinions etc etc.

Is this a problem, and what do you think should be done about it?

The current government are very unlikely to be the answer.

The answer presented by many is communism. Which is a dirty word, so they normally call it something else. E.g. The Green Party.

Ivor do you think you are correct because you believe in right wing politics
Ivor do you think lefties are wrong?

Not really a belief. Just acceptance of reality.

We have a left-wing government. Is the country in a state of utopian bliss? No, it's a ****-show, as it always is when they're in charge.

Lefties are lovely. But easily led and gullible.

Siege mentality
 
He thinks anybody that isn't as far right as him is a lefty communist.
That's increasingly true... people are becoming more polarised. Those who were in the middle are picking a side and joining it, mostly because they think the other lot are terrible.

The left have been using tactics borrowed from religious cults for the last couple of decades. Basically brainwashing techniques. So their supporters are a lot like believers, and are very difficult to reason with. A lot like Jehovah's Witnesses, left-wing people build their social circles around their political beliefs. Anyone who sees the light and decides to challenge any of these beliefs will be shunned and ousted by their friends. It's a very powerful way of controlling the minds of humans, who are fundamentally social creatures. The JWs have been doing this for decades, it works really well for them.
