Mr Cameron - and Gleggy - talk about every strata in society being asked to clear the country's debt, but surely that isn't fair!
Here are figures drawn from the H.M. Tax Office:

"93% of all wealth in 1999 was held by the top 50 per cent of the population"

Surely, any moral person would say that the 50% of the population, who possess 93% of the wealth, should be asked ( i.e. made) to clear the debt and not the 50% who are managing on only 7% of the country's wealth
