There's a whole other debate around this aspect i.e. how the 'system' is geared towards ensuring the rich remain rich and the plebs remain plebs. Of course there will always be exceptions to the rule, however our whole socioeconomic model is geared towards the aforementioned. Punching up is easier said than done.The biggest spongers are the rich - who do you think gets all the contracts and own the hotels to house these people?
Yet it's me and you who pay and then through the media we are trained to punch down. Time we started to punch up.
It's doff your cap Britain again, but this time we are not doffing our cap to landed gentry its faceless millionaires and billionaires like Rishi.
