that's why I said, perhaps he doesn't like poor people ?

I dare say he'd like em even less if he'd done his act of bravado to the wrong one.
|
|
By:
he doesn't have to like them, I think we can all agree that.
|
|
By:
No this is true, but liking and mocking are two very different things.
|
|
By:
Ive never heard of these practices and it sounds more like an old wives tale that the bullingdon prix do it, but if they did then all it does is solidify the contempt due to such creatures.

I hope we don't stop people mocking others, it can be good for them
no one should be fearful of being mocked everyone should be, I would not fear being mocked and I do not fear poverty or living on the streets. |
|
By:
I would not do it, but I would not worry too much if it was done to me
|
|
By:
If there a jovial manner to mocking then fine, if it has intent then by all means allow it but then equally allow the response in whatever form it comes.

I might have a little laugh about it, its pretty senseless to waste good money like that

Humility is lost when people have too much money.

Just asked a simple question ... I wouldn't know. Do you know lots of Tories then that go round burning money in front of homeless people. Or is this yet another leftie "I'll make something up to suit my argument" 'fact'. ... sort of fakenews? That's why lefties have no credibility these days, people just don't believe them any more. But just making things up and then when challenged seems to be their way these days. And adding some spurious comment that avoids answering the question ... I do think since the advent of Thatcher Spiv Culture this sort of thing has happened more , a kind of greed is good society and money is the almighty god and if you haven't got any then its tough. doesn't answer the question. But there again, I have a general view that all lefties are thick. From personal experience and observation it's true. Thank you. |

No doubt this will qualify posh little Ronnie a seat in a future Tory cabinet. All he needs now is an incident with a private part of his anatomy and a dead pig's mouth !

By:
Well there lies your answer , anybody who disagrees with your political views is thick , I think with people like yourself its impossible to debate because you have fixed narrow views which never move, regarding what I said about tories it was more a way of saying how society in the last 35 years has become more selfish and money has become the only thing some people are interested in

My brother went to Christ College Cambridge, and had he done something as stupid as this Id have driven down there and reminded him of his roots.

anxious ...
obfuscation is a word that was invented for lefties ... say something as a fact, when challenged ignore the challenge and rant about something else. |

By:
Mememe your playing with words now , I think you understand the point I was making about the tories and money , I mean can you deny that in the 80s Thatcher encouraged and promoted greed and self interest to such a point that she once said - there is no such thing as society
|

By:
Anxious,
I'm a great admirer of Thatcher. She led when we needed leadership (imo). Went nutty later and Tories kicked her out (rightly imo). |
|
By:
Well it would help if you understood what she meant by that remark anxious
That was one of the few things she got right |
|
By:
I mean can you deny that in the 80s Thatcher encouraged and promoted greed
What you mean is she advocated keeping the money that you worked hard to get, rather than sitting on your @rse expecting someone to bail you out. |

A country that had seen its relative wealth decline rapidly since the war, was hit with huge inflation, in the grip of the unions and would've been unable to compete in an increasingly competitive global economy. We were heading for poverty.
|
|
By:
Yes she certainly helped by throwing 4 million on the dole and selling every asset we had off to pay for it , progress eh
|
|
By:
Her experiment now can be seen as total failure anyway , her dream of a property owning democracy now dead in the water

errrg
The spectre of thatcher brought out again and battle lines drawn. What I always find distasteful is all the plumbers and electricians who come out fighting her corner as though she had them in mind when she created the biggest backdrop of deregulation in history so that those dipping their bread while doing nothing could strip the cupboard bare. |

Tom Copley, Labour's housing spokesman in the capital, said that Margaret Thatcher's government had built more council flats and houses in a single year than New Labour's managed in its entire period in office.
This is correct. The official data shows that the Blair and Brown governments built 7,870 council houses (local authority tenure) over the course of 13 years. (If we don't include 2010 - the year when David Cameron became PM - this number drops to 6,510.) Mr Copley has contrasted this figure with the record of Mrs Thatcher's government, which never built fewer than 17,710 homes in a year. Between 1997 and 2010, of the 2.61 million homes constructed, only 0.3% were local authority tenure. Mrs Thatcher's government supervised the building of a similar number of houses (2.63 million), but 18.9% were LA or 'council' properties. To look at it another way, New Labour built an average of 562 council houses per year. And Mrs Thatcher's Conservatives? 41,343. |

I was working over in Tehran (living there with family) and we had to come back because of their revolution.
Got back in UK at the end of 1978 and Jim Callaghan was PM and we'd had 5 years of labour govt. First thing was dead not being buried, rubbish not been collected, shortages of basic stuff in shops. Thought about turning straight round and going back to Iran and taking our chances with the religious fanatics ... Didn't labour do well? Thank fook for Thatcher. |

Fookin hell Clydebank, don't post irrefutable stats.
Lefties don't like them if they destroy their argument. They'll call you thick and racist. |
|
By:
don't you ever get bored of whinging on about leftie this and that every single day?
 |
|
By:
you a leftie then?
 |
|
By:
by the way SH,
not whingeing, just point out truths ... labour were useless. Still are. But they've given us Brexit and Jeremy Corbyn, the Party that just keeps on giving. |

Lefties don't like them if they destroy their argument. They'll call you thick and racist. lol |
