Half of you demonise the poor on a regular basis. Half of you read the tabloids, leaving you susceptible to bullshit non stories.
You're mongs. Mostly fat baldy mongs.
At the end of the day you're all ****ebags.

But you'll always be a ginger midget no matter how much money you earn.
Because I supplied a link to a selection of the latest stats compiled by the Office for National Statistics?
Where do you get your stats, Office for Scotch Racists?
All those stats proved is that parts of Britain benefit far more from the political/economic policies of successive UK governments than other parts. It's hardly surprising.
No. I didn't even open your link.
You're a spastic because you base your entire outlook on that of some tabloids dribble. That is, of course, when you're not just talking ****e for the sake of talking ****e.
I'm 5 11', which is quite average apparently.
Anyway, I dunno, I just find it hard to get upset about inequality. I have a good friend who is much wealthier than me - he's a very clever guy and has done some clever ****, but the main reason he is much wealthier than me is he never spends a penny. I've blown money on kids and houses and kitchens and sofas and holidays while he stayed single into his 30's renting and building up a bank, wouldn't even buy himself a flat screen tv. I can't look at his bank balance then look at mine and say it's unfair - it's totally fair, his clever choices combined with fiscal tightness (and compound interest) have made it fair. Compare him to my mother who went on a Caribbean Cruise a few weeks back, despite having **** all pension pot and only earning £7 an hour - is it fair he has more money than her..? Mostly, she didn't get the same opportunities through random luck of birth - but she still doesn't have that money hoarding instinct and prefers to live for the moment (which is, maybe, fair enough - as long as you don't complain about it after, having spent your own money).
The main type of inequality that upsets me is people who have been born into money - and not having earned it through their own wise or good behaviour. I'm all for huge taxes on inheritance over a certain level - you can be as clever as you like, but you don't get to create dynasties. Once you are dead the wealth goes into the public pot to help give someone else a go.
I call ****e on that.
Mainly because Mick would try his utmost to make sure his kids got as much of the inheritance as possible.
Try go ****ing yourself before thinking I give a **** about your brain-dead opinion.
Yes, yes you do.
EDGE.

I don't have a gripe about anyone having more money than me. Even toffs.
I don't think that the gap between rich and poor is healthy, judging by how angry the resident smack-headed junkie is. But I don't see the correlation between independence and closing that gap in the UK, or Scotland for that matter other than independence will mean that the rich will move to England where their money will not be subjected to Jock tax, thus bringing down the wealth of the Jocks left in the socialist utopia of zero growth Scotland.
Where is people's ambition to be better? It's all gripes and bitterness. Instead of moaning about other people's wealth, go and make your own.

Nah I've been pretty consistent on here (I'd Google quotes if I could be arsed) that my investment in my kids will stop when (if) they are out of University.
I don't plan to get rich enough to leave anything anyway. I want to eventually just have enough to support me maybe giving up full time work, to get some free time to actually enjoy life.
