Inequality

You see strange things in this part of the world that make you scratch your head. This morning I visited a lab that the EU has given €200,000 of equipment to. The very expert staff are as poor as church mice and the Government cannot afford to put new lab furniture into this new building.

Tonight, I am sitting on the terrace of a restaurant enjoying an evening meal. A young couple, not more than 25, probably nearer 20, arrive in separate cars. He is driving a Range Rover, she drives a Mercedes. Where does the money come from?
