The likes of Jim Ratcliffe and Elon Musk couldn't have been dealt a better hand in life, yet all they do is complain
The super-rich have won at life - so why are they always complaining?
The people with wealth many of us can barely comprehend seem to always be the voices complaining the loudest.

We (GLP) will, I promise, try and address that question in a blog early next week. It's a complex judgment in a complex area and comms-ing it is, well, complex. But we will address this early in our second wave of communications. /F

Anti-trans campaigners will try to spin the High Court’s decision into an absolute victory.
But that’s far from the truth – the findings in this case will require the EHRC’s code of practice to be rewritten.

Zahawi agrees with Ratcliffe. He arrived in the UK in 1978 when the opposition leader Thatcher warned “people are really.. afraid that this country might be rather swamped by people with a different culture”. They didn’t want ‘coloured’ people here. But his family’s right as refugees allowed it.
