The answer to life, the universe and everything

There just had to be one sad fecker, didn't there?

Hey, you recognised the quote

[DimPrawn]

A socialist is someone who has nothing and believes everything should be shared.

[Dundeegeorge]

I think, DP, that you've slightly misquoted

A socialist is someone who has nothing and believes everything should be shared.

Actually, the quote is.....
A socialist is a lying thieving shiftless feckess idle bastard with nothing who wants to share the benefits of other people's work.

(I put a similar argument to Chico once, saying that I thought Christianity required a similar level of self-denial, at least ideally if not in practise, but he didn't agree. I may be an atheist, but having a father whose passport said "Minister of Religion" under occupation I do claim to know what I'm talking about.)

True, but you have to remember is that Chico is at best a pseduo Christian , or perhaps he fits the profile of a Christian Zionist.

Anyway I think it was the comedian Lenny Bruce who said that any priest who had more than two coats was a hypocrite, I think he did have a point !

There are plenty of lying thieving shiftless feckless idle bastards at the top end of the financial food chain as well.

There's hope for you then mate!

That's as may be

but I wasn't discussing politicians, I was correcting a quote about socialism.

And I'm merely stating facts.

It's results that are paid for, not how difficult the employee found it.

Exactly, Id love to see some of these tree huggers face the same consequences if they do a job poorly that some of these so called "fat cat wide boys" face if they feck up.

I'm sure John McDonnell will be forgoing the upcoming 29% increase in his MP's salary and giving it to "the poor" to set a shining example for us all.

And return the £131,388 he claimed in expenses last year

Mind you he hasn't declared any Directorships or Consultancy contracts and he's against the ID card.
