Are we to widen the gulfs and divisions in our country even more by spending what resources we have on tax cuts for the better off?
Without it bridges are hard to build over the gulfs that separate experts in different specialised subjects not only from the general public but from one another.
Of course, there is a natural partnership between these people and the wish to bridge their political gulfs is a legitimate aspiration.
We are anxious that no gulfs should be wider than they are.
On that matter, we are at one and it is one of the major gulfs between the political parties.
When differences are so marked it must take time for the gulfs to be bridged.
Our idea is to have all schools linked up together so that there are not these great gulfs.
At present, there are exclusive zones of purely public or purely private housing estates—separated by wide gulfs.
