The Church of England is massively underestimating the corrosive nature of repeated child abuse scandals and institutional cover ups. They have lost any moral authority they had and should face disestablishment and a national inquiry into their behaviour.

The richest 10% own half of all the country's wealth

Only a proper wealth tax - that is a tax on assets - can deal with this

As well as a focus on ownership and redistribution at the heart of public policy

Photograph of a section of a book page. The words say, "The Stasi was the internal army by which the government kept control. Its job was to know everything about everyone using any means it chose. It knew who your visitors were, it knew whom you telephoned, and it knew if your wife slept around. It was a bureaucracy metastasised through East German society: overt or covert, there was someone reporting to the Stasi on their fellows and friends in every school, every factory, every apartment block, every pub. Obsessed with detail, the Stasi entirely failed to predict the end of Communism, and with it, the end of the country. Between 1989 and 1990 it was turned inside out: Stalinist spy unit one day, museum the next. In its forty years, 'the Firm' generated the equivalent of all records in German history since the middle ages. Laid out upright and end to end, the files the Stasi kept on their countrymen and women would form a line 180 kilometres long." The phrase, "Its job was to know everything about everyone" and the sentence, "Obsessed with detail, the Stasi entirely failed to predict the end of Communism, and with it, the end of the country." are highlighted in yellow.

Data ≠ insight. Quite the opposite sometimes.
