Having spent a lot of time in Greece lately - filming his new movie Greed, and the final series of The Trip - Steve Coogan is in a suitably philosophical mood.
Reflecting on capitalism and his own career he's poised like Pericles and ready to"point the finger" at the retail industry."Because I do different things I suppose I can't be fired by [just] one person, so I can afford to annoy some people along the way." In Greed, Coogan and director Michael Winterbottom target billionaire bosses of multinational companies, who he says are turning over"massive profits" while factories they use in developing nations like Sri Lanka pay their workers around £3 a day."Nothing we're saying in the movie is anything that isn't a matter of public record. What we want to do is shine a light on that.
"It wasn't like we woke up one morning and started recycling. It happens gradually and the conversation becomes louder, so it becomes something you might disagree with but you can't ignore. "Right now, you can ignore and most people do ignore the huge imbalance between the rich and the poor, because it's the elephant in the room and it's awkward to talk about it."
Said the multi-millionaire.
SteveCooogan so we can expect you to lead by example and sell your cars and mansion and live a humble life as jesus taught or can you not remember being an Alter boy and listening to Fr Knights sermons?
There is and always has been a gap between the rich and the poor. And no one has come up with a reliable way of fixing it - closest non-civilisation destroying idea is taxation. Let’s stick with that.
Another champagne lifestyle luvie

Because openly used by the rich it’s like their ladders to go up but the reality those rich came from poor back then mostly poor became rich hate to c where they come from and also afraid to go back where they come from that’s why they keep doing what they r doing right or wrong
