    Predictably, my comments on #bbc against envy politics and higher taxes have released a torrent of abuse from the Left. Ah, well!

        @bernardjenkin your views are offensive. Might be ok in #tory circles but politics of privilege. No place in the world. #ukpolitics

        @bernardjenkin Is there such a thing as the "politics of envy"? Or is that just your term for 'fairness' and 'social justice'?

        @bernardjenkin Who was it who said dogmas are 'mere blind struggles to express the inexpressible.' Take heed of your ancestors...

        @bernardjenkin People are not envious of the rich getting richer, they are angry that "tickle down" is a myth that fat cats still purvey.

        @bernardjenkin People are not envious of the rich sending their kids to private school, they are angry that state schools are so shit.

        @bernardjenkin "Envy politics" is an invention of the right to deflect criticism - the poor are not envious, they are angry.

        @bernardjenkin sure it's obvious that what we need right now is to take more money out of the 'productive' economy and give it to the Gov!!

        @bernardjenkin calling it "envy politics" was provocative—you clearly intended to stir up a response.
