Message for the current (and any subsequent) Governments

[Old Greg]

You are wrong.
I see lots of people who take, take take.
I see lots of people who think there is a bottomless pit of wealth that its their right to draw from
I see lots of people who simply do not make the connection between benefits and other peoples efforts

I think that some of this is what burns the right wingers. it burns

I'm not @rsed personally, I am not particularly political, but I am having to deal with one of the takers right now
and I dont see no rich fckng tapestry. I see vindictive stupidity and entitlement

Socialism is not about taking without contributing. Thanks for another straw man.

Socialism doesn't create or contribute. Work and ideas create and contribute.

Socialism offers a different model for work.

I know it may sound like a sob story, but it does go on to answer D000hg , I mentioned it because we didnt go private, we stuck with a public hospital in the midlands

I thought it was a question about schooling not health - most of us use public health even if we send our kids to private school.

Philanthropists like Gates become philanthropists when they 'Make it'

like we throw a few quid in the penny bottle, they throw a few million at their 'pet' passion
I havnt met any in real life


except one bloke.
I had this mate in Liverpool, he was in the Militant tendancy, we were both on the dole in our thirties. He was always skinter than me

then one day I found out, accidentally, that he was sending money every month to the starving kids in Ethiopia
I never knew what to make of that
