Most days actually. Today isn't special.What colour is this pretty cascade, by the way?

Answer the question Mr Ainsworth.All you seem capable of today are snide put-downs and attempts at humour !

"Or do we believe that family wealth however big or small should not be allowed to cascade down through the generations ?"A cascade - how pretty it sounds.

'"The personal fortune of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty has fallen by more than £200 million over the last year as the value of her stake in her father’s company plummeted." (Yahoo)'Are they not in fact the beneficiaries of a business fortune created by her father Nagavara Ramarao Narayana Murthy who made his money by setting up a world-wide IT company Infosys ?This company has provided high-tech jobs for tens of thousands of intelligent Indian graduates and many bright people in the UK.Are there sins of the father that she should be punished for ?Or do we believe that family wealth however big or small should not be allowed to cascade down through the generations ?Or do many lefties have a somewhat ambivalent view on race and ethnic groups if they happen to be Indian and not Afro-Caribbean ?Sunak born in GB was the son of a GP and pharmacist who emigrated to the UK to escape persecution in Kenya and worked in the NHS.
