Roz, I find this rather short cited and it's old news. I would think that there are quite a few 'asset rich' people in society - I know several people who are very asset rich - i don't think it's that uncommon, especially in London.

That's not to say there aren't cash rich people in the cabinet - but Blair and Brown were hardly the poor of this world. To suggest they can't make decisions for society because they're rich is patronising.
