"If ever there was an illustration of the fact that there is really no "them" and no "us," that was it."
Funny you should say that. At this present moment we are in the midst of an economic crisis caused largely by avaricious bankers and property speculators, ably assisted by (at best) incompetent and (more likely) corrupt politicians. The 'them' who got the world into this mess with their greed and incompetence are being rewarded with large bonuses and golden handshakes, while the 'us' who, by and large have had little to do with the mess we are in are being punished with redundancy, cuts in wages, privileges and benefits and a massive downgrading of our stadard of living and our security - now tell me how this no 'them and us' works again.
