Britain, according to this text, is now a divided nation. The ideologies of the governing party have set poverty and inequality on a path of relentless increase. From corporate greed to deep-seated deprivation, this book aims to expose these growing divisions. Bosses of privitized utilities have become millionaires; a new breed of MP has as many as seven or eight jobs; and millionaires can pay no tax. A small elite has done well at the expense of everyone else. The Conservative Party has protected these vested interests and they have returned the favour. The population have paid a heavy price - a roller-coaster economy, low growth, insecurity at work and the despair of mass unemployment. Britain has become divided amongst itself. The confidence of the nation has been undermined. This book maintains that it is now time to end the malaise, the greed and the inequality, to stop excusing every excess in the name of the free market. To tackle the vested interests that hold the country back and the poverty that degrades. To retrain, to re-equip and end the spiral of decline. To move together towards one nation.
