The contrast in Liverpool’s Anfield is quite alarming.
In the background the roof of the home of Liverpool Football Club. A place where money flows like water from a burst water main. Where players earn more in a day than those in Liverpool that are lucky enough to work will earn in an entire lifetime.
In the foreground a shabby home in the shadow of the football ground. The roof in need of repair, allowing rain to enter the building like it might enter the living space of those forced to inhabit a shanty town in Africa or India.
The contrast between the haves and the have nots occupying a small geographical area never changes and certainly hasn’t changed since Lords in their manors lived in luxury off the backs of the peasants huddled and starving in their cobbled together cottages on the same land.
Only, today it’s the footballers living in luxury, paid for by those just about able to scrape together enough money for a ticket to watch them play.
