Well said! Just one pedantic point, they've taken it away from all of us. It's personally a nightmare for me logistically (as you'll no doubt remember from my spats with James Wales) but yeah, :thumbup:Quote:

I miss Cyril.
For the fourth time on this forum I'll ask, what's the exact amount of wealth I should have before I can complain about inequality in the UK? I repeatedly get called a champagne socialist or told I'm just jealous of the wealthy.Quote:

Now take a look at the political parties that have ruled over us in the last 60 years and you may find one party has been in charge of for the majority of time including the public purse that controls the NHS , Education , Police , Security ,the next question one may ask are the majority in a desperate position ??
Could we do better of course we could ,have we become spoilt perhaps ?
Do other countries have it worse , well yes as our wealth is 6th out of 193 countries and some have been starving for decades as we just waste ??
Is there a worse cost of living and poverty crisis elsewhere compared to what we face now I guess the answer would be yes and has been for decades , do we really care because our mortgages go up whilst others live in dreadful housing around the world ??? are we only reacting now because we can feel it coming ??
By the way town was busy tonight and it wasn't full of millionaires zzzzzzzzzzz

Can't see what their immigration policy has to do with the price of fish tbh.
Immigration and population numbers directly affect house prices. Japan are famous for rejecting mass immigration and their house prices have been stable since 1997. Not that difficult to work out.Quote:
