   Bob, I hope you resisted the urge whilst quaffing the chianti.
   I thought the judges’ comments were a little over the top
   ‘… such actions risked generating “awkwardness, disgust and disapproval in the average man” Its a favourite pastime for many

   Then I’m off to the nick – and so I suspect are you, Bob!

   Can’t imagine you ever feeling a right prick in public, Bob. A left one perhaps….

   Your tag line says, “For a fundamental and irreversible shift in the balance of power and wealth in favour of working people and their families”.
   Just what the fuck is this meaningless little platitude for? We are all working people in the 21st century, you know, Bob. We don’t live in a feudal society any more, Bob. That went out after the Black Death in 1348. And how are you going to effect an “irreversible shift in… wealth”? The last person who was successful at that little ploy was Joseph Stalin, and he had to kill 30 million people to do it. Is it your intention to do the same?
   News for you, Bob: Socialism is dead. Deceased. No more. It has gone to meet its maker. It was a bad idea, based on the false premise that you can only make the poor rich by making the rich poor. Making the rich poor makes the poor poorer, since the rich are the WEALTH CREATORS. As a socialist you will not understand the concept of wealth creation and as a politician you will never have created anything but hot air.
   So let me explain a simple fundamental principle for you, Bob. People generally get rich by creating wealth, not by stealing money from poor people (Poor people do not have enough to make stealing from them worthwhile, Bob). When people get rich it increases the amount of wealth in the country and, by a combination of taxation and spending, some of the money ends up with people who have not created it, such as you. (In case you were wondering where your salary comes from, it is from rich people who made it.) When governments take the money and “invest” it, they often destroy the wealth that has just been created. So, redistribution of wealth does not share prosperity, it DESTROYS prosperity. Witness every socialist state that was ever created. After over a hundred years of such failed experiments, surely even you would start to realise this. Here endeth the lesson.

   Charles, Charles, Charles, what to do with you, eh? One of the dangers of introducing GCSE economics I suppose, not everyone stays awake for the whole lesson.
   People generally get rich by creating wealth
   And how do they do this? Do they spend all night when the poor are sleeping cutting up bits of paper, drawing the queen’s head on it and calling it money?
   Or are they dependent on the brains and labour of other people to create their wealth?
   As you appear to know even less about the source of my income than you do about economics, I fail to see how you can draw any conclusions about it…. but please don’t allow ignorance to interrupt your flow. So, in order to allow us all to become RICH, please, tell us how you have created the wealth that has made you so wealthy?
   Finally, Charles, I allowed your comment this time because it was both stupid and entertaining, but in future, curb your foul language or you will not be appearing.
