There was a committed Communist in my wife's extended in law family. He constantly criticised capitalists and the capitalist ideology. When he died, he left a small fortune. It transpired that he'd been playing the stock market all his life. They are all hypocrites. The Greens are no different. What I say to the greens is unless they live in a tepee and exist off the land, then they have no right to criticise anyone who just lives their life within the constraints of our modern society.

Both populists and socialists are profligate with spending. It does not imply that they are the same.

Indeed. But the Tories, now having become populist, have to spend.

Basically, the stupids in the Western world have decided they want a piece of the pie even when, in general, they've been too thick to contribute to it.

And there are plenty of politicians willing to ride on their backs for personal gain.
