    And just what sort of alternative utopia do you think will take the place of what we already have after the revolution? One where we teach kids that the earth is flat and that the world is full of lizard men sleeping under volcanoes ready to come back to life and take control of us all?

    You don't like it but you need central and local government. You may think we are all sheep but you need what society gives you. A benign socialist society where everybody plays their part and pays their way is logical. It all turns to sh.it when c.unts get too greedy and the lazy f.uckers have their hands out begging instead of working. Not paying the tax you owe and poncing off the state are equally deplorable and I won't defend either extreme.

    I've never signed on, I've never dodged a bill or fare, I've paid tax since my first paper round 40 years ago. You might think this makes me an uber-mug but I actually believe in being a citizen and doing the right thing, not trying to jump through loopholes to avoid paying what's due.

    There will be no revolution because all the twats who go into full-beel mode are too f.ucking lazy to get of their arses to change anything. Those of you suckling off the teat of Government hand-outs should shut the f.uck up when it comes to what other people get paid. If you are that upset try getting an education and do their job instead.

    We really need another Hitler.

    He had a lot of good ideas but struggled somewhat to put them into practice.

    Who is that quote from Mick?

    I always liked Lulu's famous quote, "there are lies, damned lies and then there's politicians".

    Does anything actually work to be honest?

    We're basically just stumbling in the dark.

    I'm a **** with no idea but at least I recognise the fact.

    Destroyed itself, I think you’ll find. The western powers were happy to turn a blind eye and wait for it to go away, but the Nazis insisted on invading everyone.

    Bit off more than they could chew taking on the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics though. Shall we have them back as well?

    Would be a bit pointless to invade Poland, but makes more sense than Flat Earth imho.

    If the earth was flat, would you be able to see Moscow from Berlin (on a clear day)?

    I've given up with humans to be honest.

    I'm just waiting till the aliens come back to rescue me.
