THE death last week of Mikhail Gorbachev is a reminder to us all in the West of the man that helped hasten the demise of the Soviet Union proving once and for all that good ol’ capitalism is the only system fit for civilised societies. You may have detected a heavy dose of sarcasm there!
Regarding capitalism, I think it would be a fair assessment to say that this Tory government, since 2010, and their predecessors from 1979–1997 have embraced it with much more gusto than most across Europe. So has the capital filtered down to help those with the least?
