One Nation

One Nation. 8 social class groups;  63 million people;  50,000 millionaires; and  100,000 homeless.  One Nation. One Nation. Two parliaments; two assemblies  6 mainstream parties;  650 MPs; (27 ethnic minorities MPs); but 35% of the population never voted.  One Nation One Nation  14 million children; 25,000 schools 7% of pupils are in private school; 31% of MPs attended private school; but  3.5 million kids are still in poverty  One Nation.  One Nation 134 Prisons 90,000 Prisoners 145,000 Police officers; but 1,000 deaths in police custody without one conviction.  One Britain;  One Nation? Mike Concise © 2015 www.mikeconcise.com Note: The political idea of One Nation in British politics was coined by Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881) and used by countless politicians since, to refer the duty owed by the 'better off' to help those less well endowed and fortunate. That irrespective of     class, Britian should not be two nations of rich and the poor, but rather one, united society.
