IMO, behind all this posturing is an inherent dislike of people with money. It seems to be an overarching colour to the whole thing. Labour seem to have an issue with wealth, as if it is something to despise. There is nothing wrong with wealth. What is of importance is how you conduct yourself and how competent you are (in politics if not in life).
So Corbyn has a pension pot of a million. So what? He's provided well for his retirement. Nothing to do with his politics.
I don't give a toss what MPs earn, how much they are worth etc etc. What I want is for them to have no bias, no vested interests that may affect their job, and to pay taxes that are due.
They can be as rich or as poor as they like.

So despite the insinuation that in the press that Blairmore was some secret tax evasion scam, it is a legitimate investment fund, just like any other (except perhaps not so well performing).
So DC gets pilloried for making money from an investment, and some of the same people consider Corbyn whiter-than-white despite failing to disclose his pension (and apparently not getting a penny in interest despite earning £70k+ a year).
Imagine if DC was the Labour leader and Corbyn was the Tory PM....

The insinuation from hundreds of journalists is that Blairmore is dodgy. Dodgy. (Fact)
Ian Cameron jumped out of bed every day feeling excited at the prospect of handing envelopes full of cash to bemused Carribeans in exchange for them pretending that they were running his company and that Ian Cameron was not running the company.
This was a Sham.
This was Bogus
This was Deception.
This was Misleading.
This was Dodgy. (Fact)
We now need to work out if Dave benefitted from Dodgy Money.........or.........If he did in fact work 7 paper rounds to put himself through Eton.

What has DC done that was dodgy? Blairmore looks like just another fund:

So is it OK for anyone else to invest in it? Or is anyone who invests in it also dodgy? What about other funds? Why is Blairmore so bad, but other funds OK? Or is just that all investment is bad? Or all DC's investment in bad?
