This is good... drives up wages. Were you not just complaining shitty wages?
The British people WERE complaining about that, have been for decades, but we are only three generations removed from a birth based class society.
Keeping poor people poor has been a traditional part of British conservatism forever, which occasional ruffles though the pockets of the middle class when they felt too many people had too much money. They say the opposite, but the actions over the last 80 odd years are obvious.
Its one of the reasons I hate that picture of Thatcher and Reagan so much, while on the surface there ideals may be similar but the American approach to conversation and the British approach are very different.
Remember, these are the people YOU SHOT AT.
