Extent to which the world's divided
Take refugees, for example. They travel, at risk of life and limb, from Africa to the Canaries and then to Spain. What is the attraction? It is because the disparity between the rich and the poor is so gigantic. We have so much and they have so little. The world's resources must be more fairly distributed.
Some groups of very rich white people live in walled communities live behind razor wire, with their own security guards covering the area. They have rapid response units in the Hollywood Hills. I remember I went to visit Warren Beatty. Not long going up the road a police car stopped us - just because our car was a couple of years old! They really think people or trying to kill them.

The USA is 4 per cent of the world's population, but it consumes 40 per cent of the world's energy, and has 30 percent of the world's wealth.
On Iran's threat to Israel
The Iranian Prime Minister has used some very threatening words to Israel. But there is one important difference. Iran can't wipe Israel off the map. But Israel could wipe Iran off the map. Remember, Israel has already written Palestine off the map...
Israel is responsible for the cancer of injustice suffered by Palestinian people. But Israel isn't alone. It is armed and bankrolled by America and it is traded with by Britain, and I know a hundred years ago David Balfour, in the same House of Commons in which I serve, promised to the Zionists the Palestinian's land.
