On the subject of where the rich get their money the answer is obvious; it comes from the poor. It takes a lot of poor people to make a rich person. Abraham Darby, who had an iron works in Coalbrook Dale, in the 18th Century, invented a way of manufacturing a cheap, cast iron cooking pot which poor people could afford. He said, "There are a lot of poor people and that will make me very rich". Nothing's changed! Our problem now is; where is (and who are) the Left?
"As for the plight of the eurozone, this could have been designed by a Left-wing propagandist as a satire of how money-power works."
Nonsense. The Euro is a prime example of central planning, something that was imposed top down by politicians. This sort of confusion permeates your article.
Free systems proceed by trial and error and even if the errors are sometimes painful, we are all better off over time. History is a better guide here than hysteria. If you want to eliminate this process, you will get a system where the same expensive errors are made, but never corrected.
No one today is deeper into our pockets than the state. No one abridges our rights more than the state. Certainly not Murdoch.
Don´t mix up free trade and free markets with corporatism and interventionism. And don´t blame them for the inevitable result when you get what you want.

Are You Right for Pepperdine? Are you a Christian but also really want a Mercedes SLK in Caspian blue and to be on whatever the next "Hills" is called? Don't worry. It's all holy. Because at Pepperdine, being Christian isn't like all about washing lepers or giving money away or whatever. It's about the fact that God chose you to be beautiful and hairless and successful.

Immigration is a serious issue.
Historically from 1950-90 immigration occurred at a reasonable pace and the Asians and Caribbeans who entered Britain by and large have made a very valuable contribution to British society.
What has occurred in the last decade has not been valuable, it has occurred too quickly, and too many immigrants have been allowed to dismiss British culture and to fail to 'join in'.
There is a world outside London which many in the media and Westminster seem incapable of recognising - it is a world where primary schools are completely full and what is more full of children who hardly speak English - this negative impact must be absorbed by British families and is hard.
Similarly with housing, welfare and medicine British people feel they are being short-changed.
Those in the Metropolis are completely out of touch, and the Gordon Brown / Gillian Duffy encounter was but one piece of evidence.
Immigration must be rigorously controlled, and we can start by ignoring the concept of a 'right to family life' and deport all foreign criminals - but that's another story.
