Labour politicians are
allowed to be rich, because they are nevertheless felt to be doing something to
spread it around a bit. When they are positively posh, as many of them have
been and as a few of them still are, then their party and the public alike find
it positively endearing.
Them's the rules.
Unfair, perhaps, but there we are. If Cameron doesn't know these things, then
he doesn't know anything about politics. In any case, none of that comes close
to having inherited £30 million and married a woman after whose family the City
of Sheffield is named.
At least without
selling his house (he has one, whereas Cameron owns three and has the use of
another two), is Ed Miliband a millionaire, as Cameron
suggested? I doubt it. I can't see how a second-generation academic,w hose parents were refugees when they came to this country and who himself became
a full-time politician can ever have become a millionaire. Does Cameron assume
that everyone is, just because he himself doesn't know anyone who isn't?
