I keep seeing the press wheeling out example of “the rich” like somebody on £100k who can barely afford their mortgage, like it’s my fucking fault they can’t live within their means.
Do what the rest of us do, tighten our belts and deal with it. Don’t come to me with a sob story about your mortgage on a 4 bedroom detached Surrey house when there’s people who can barely afford rent to live in what was once somebody’s kitchen.
Middle class is not the same as the rich. Trying to get various groups of not rich people against each other has been a time tested tactic to keep everyone from acting against the rich. First it was race but now it’s trying to put the rural vs urban, the less fortunate vs the slightly less fortunate, union vs non union, etc.
Totally agree. Somebody who makes 100k aren’t the problem at all, its the people who make salaries with at least a couple of more zeros added to the end. The people that OP should be mad at aren’t ever struggling to pay a bill.

£100k per year is not middle class, it’s the top 3% of the country.
I grew up middle class, my family are lawyers, high level civil servants, software engineers. I don’t know anyone who earns £100k.
