Nick Ferrari: 'Shared society' slogan will be millstone round PM's neck
Theresa May has been taken apart by furious radio presenter Mr Ferrari who ridiculed the Prime Minister for her ‘shared society’ slogan.
Speaking on Sky News’ show The Pledge, Mr Ferrari tore apart the 60-year-old conservative leader where he said her slogan would come back to haunt her.
The Prime Minister revealed her slogan on Sunday in which she wrote: “It goes to the heart of my belief that there is more to life than individualism and self-interest.
“The social and cultural unions represented by families, communities, towns, cities, counties and nations are the things that define us and make us strong.”

The Prime Minister's call for a ‘shared society’ left Mr Ferrari fuming.
He said: “I don’t know why a Prime Minister gets hooked into these kind of damn silly slogans.
“What was it before? the ‘big society’ it’s now become the ‘shared society’.
“It’s absolutely meaningless. It’s alright saying we’re gunna do this, if you look at mental health actually, funding has been cut.
“There are more people with mental health issues on the streets than ever before that can’t be wrong.
“But what I don’t understand. I thought she was quite a canny woman. Why she has talked such absolute cobblers as a ‘shared society’, it will be a milestone round her neck.”

It was then suggested by Greg Dyke, FA chairman, that the only way Mrs May will be able to fulfil her wishes is by redistribution which will mean putting up tax.
Mr Ferrari continued with his furious blast in which he slammed the idea of putting up tax.
He said: “It is a fact that the inequality in this country is on the decrease. It is a fact that the richest three per cent have never paid more tax.
“They’re paying almost 30 per cent of the whole tax take. How much more can they possibly give?”
“There are people out there who can’t pay more tax,” he exclaimed. “How much more have I got to give!”
