The nation as a whole is poorer.
If Daniel #Hannan didn't board the right carriage of the gravy train now carrying the oligarchical class, that is tough.
The aim is to turn us back into a country which has a small, rich elite and a large rump of 'have nots' or 'have littles', and where the law of the land only applies to 'the little people'.
Freedom is anathema to this would-be oligarchy - freedom for the people, that is.
They are very enthusiastic about freedom for themselves.
