Don't get me wrong, although I'm British ( Welsh ) through and through; there are some deep rooted sicknesses in this Country.  How or why they were allowed to come about, I'm not sure I have the answer; maybe the peer pressure wasn't there........maybe the sickness was allowed to grow, because those suffering from it; mixed with each other and therefore fed it. I know if the state tries to legislate against the way people lead their lives, you end up with a " Big Brother " society........so that's not the answer.  An example : A person with more money than they could ever need in a lifetime, will spend £ 1 million to have their house fitted throughout with solid gold Taps.........while another will die of cancer, because they can't afford to pay for the treatment. I'd like to think most would be like me and get so much more pleasure, saving somebod'y life; than having gold taps in my toilet. Unfortunately, that's not as extreme as it sounds........just look at the high earners in the City and they're only the thin end of the wedge and have no social conscience. We need to be allowed to sort out our own country, without everybody else's, less than perfect countries, complicating matters.

I believe greed is a mental illness. Most greedy people do not understand that they are greedy.
