Power is still with the few

-

MILLIONS of UK citizens are passionate about football, who suddenly woke up to find that billionair­es owned, and so controlled, for their own ‘particular and different reason’, the thing they loved, and they were powerless.

However, they are pacified now, since the internatio­nal owners recognised a small blunder in their plans, and no doubt, will choose a modified scheme next time. Football fans appear to think that something has changed. The idea that the power base has moved, is quite ludicrous.

What seems astonishin­g, is that UK citizens have learnt nothing from this small scale demonstrat­ion of our national economy. We cast votes for political parties, and MPS do have power to modify policies.

But, in a Conservati­ve economy, most of the power is the power of money and the market, involving very few people, of whom some may be honest billionair­es. Could you not learn from the lessons of football? CN Westerman Brynna, Mid Glam
