Class War issue 81: Guilty, But Proud Of It!
A small, but interesting article appeared in the Nursing Times in March. The piece dealt with a study entitled 'Income Inequality and the prevalence of common mental disorders in Britain. (Weich. S, et al. 2001).
The study assesed over 8,000 adults in the UK and found that wealthy people living in areas of high income inequality suffered higher levels of mental disorder.
The authors suggest that wealthy people living near poor areas may experience 'guilt or unease about the relative disadvantage of others'. And all this time we thought it was just down to inbreeding, cocaine and alcoholism.
The best thing these overpaid underworked parasites could do would be to hand over all their ill gotten cash to us, then commit guilt free mass suicide. The worst thing they could do is become so guilt ridden that they try to involve themselves in working class movements and imagine they are doing something to help. George Monbiot and your land owning family, your money or your worthless, middle-class life!
