Ill health is linked to poverty, health inequality is linked to wealth inequality, and Britain, with a huge number of poor people by Western standards, and with the worst wealth inequality in Europe (or since our own records began), has a huge number of sick people by Western standards, and the worst health inequality in Europe (or since our own records began).
Who knew?
Not Tony Blair, the only Labour Prime Minister ever to have presided over increases in wealth and health inequality.
Not Gordon Brown, his sidekick throughout.
And not David Cameron or David Miliband, his mini-me wannabes, never mind Nick Clegg and James Purnell, George Osborne and Andrew "Andy" Burnham (who is called Andrew in private and who, if he used his natural accent, would sound like Nicholas Soames), their mini-me wannabes.
Since none of these knows any poor people, do they know any ill people?
