Abnormal disparity has become the norm

The sight of Mrs Rooney passing through Brazilian Customs with 15 huge suitcases as she joins her husband in soccer's  World Cup Tournament for at best a fortnights stay, as it has turned out, less than a week, as England head home for an early bath one is struck by the horrendous disparity between we the ordinary people and the 'celebratory'.  Gross is the word we used to describe the over the top show of wealth, Mrs Marcos' and her thousands of shoes, come to mind and its this showee extravagance we seem enthralled by.
You have to turn to the none domestic stations, (the local domestic brand whose job it seems is to pacify the populous at large), to see the protests in many European countries. The decades old collaboration the media have with the Establishment prevents us from seeing much of the fight back the peoples of Spain and Greece are waging against the bloated disparity that has occurred in those countries because of the collapse of the banking system and the need to punish, not the banks but the ordinary person in the street.
When Wayne Rooney pockets £300.000 per week we have to put this in context. A person on an average wage £24.960 would have to work 12 years to earn one weeks pay in the Rooney household. If you earned the minimum wage, which many do you would have to work for 20 years to earn what Rooney earns in a week.
I won't venture into the 'no pay', to gain job experience scandal or the bedroom tax applied to people on Benefits, the continual outcry in the media about Benefit scroungers, the TV programs highlighting the fat, loud, unhealthy, multiple children owning families with their aggressive .This is the ongoing media trend to denigrate the poor, under educated, ill equipped beneficiaries of a bloated Welfare State, a concept hijacked by the middle class do gooders who would rather give handouts than insist on proper governance to educate everyone to play their part in a properly financed business investment culture, where proper export led jobs are the objective.
