Understandably, the ever widening gap between the rich and the rest of us has been knocked off its prime spot near the top of the vomit agenda for a few weeks. Today in my first read I found that David Beckham has just bought himself a new McLaren supercar. Next page, Jason Statham (my wife informs me he is an actor) has just purchased a similar model. Next page, Gordon Ramsay has just taken delivery of a new £2million Ferrari. What are they thinking of? None of these cars are practical machines, you can't take the family shopping in them or for a picnic, they are simply rich boys toys.
How tasteless! do they not understand that there are currently millions in crisis who are choosing whether to pay the rent or eat and many who cannot afford to keep up the payments on the family motor? This is disgusting consumerism on a grand scale and is sure to make everyone struggling to keep their heads above water feel even worse. They just don't get it do they?
