I'm deferential to wealth. It just means I respect wealth and most of those who have it. To become wealthy, unless you have exceptional luck, you need to be talented in some way. That doesn't mean wealth is my "supreme God" but it's bloody important. Life isn't half easier when you don't have to worry about money.
then you start to worry about people taking your stuff. Fact is there's too many people, not enough stuff and everyone has their hands out for more but don't want to do anything for it. A roof over your head and food in your belly, everything else is a bonus. British people really have no idea how lucky they are.
Good grief Swords, this is a football forum, not a court of law. You're like the CIA where you hold everyone to account on what they've said or done in the past. Do you keep dossiers about the folk on here or summink? Say what you have to say and stop targeting poster's. Now you've bought bloody 'Miggins' back on here! Can you give him some of your 'Aboriginal Analogy' so we can gather enough evidence to bid him farewell?
I take your point. However, I tend to judge someone on the kind of person they are and not on how much money they have! Wealth is absolutely no guarantee of the kind of person someone is.
I obviously knew what the Labour Party had done historically, I was trying to point out that, perhaps Corbyn is more left wing than today's British people would accept.
Of course not. Swords just seems to think it's wrong that I aspire to be wealthier than I am, which I'd have thought is quite a normal goal.
Don't tell him about that post. He'll put a fatwa out on me (Wats is a bloody cool poster. Top bloke imo )
Get well soon my man. I've been getting my footie fix through the "Gah". It works out perfect. As soon as the Soccer season finishes the Gah & Hurling begin. Then as soon as they're over, the Soccer's back on!
Yeah I reckon I'd be into it if anyone cared about it here. My ex's brother-in-law plays for the England Aussie Rules so saw a bit of that and always looked like something I'd be good at as someone a bit slow and overly strong and violent for football but bored of rugby after seven years of public school
Corbyn winning the leadership election could the best thing to happen to politics in this country for a long time. His great advantage over the other contenders is that he is a conviction politician - the others don't really know what they stand for. This is why he comes across better in the hustings, and why he has gained support. Vote Jezza.
He's being interviewed on LBC (with video) now, with the other three. I agree he's a conviction politician, Strolls, but I'm going to have to use all my imagination to see him as a prime minister
I always have the deepest respect for politicians who have conviction. I seldom agreed with Tony Benn but I found him fascinating to listen to.
He won't be PM, but he might just trigger a realignment which could see a left-of-centre successor come through who could win an election.
Was Corbyn a serious candidate? I guess that will push a lot of Labour support near the centre to other parties, at least in theory. Burnham still the bookies' fave.
