   Excellent,I will show the kids along with the money trick from The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. Noticed in hmv Stratford yesterday selling TRTP for £3 what a bargain.

   Totally tedious and pointless and will remain so forever, or, until the clever Dick delivering that lecture can point to a successful and prosperous Marxist society – I mean, there has to be one somewhere – surely – oh come on, you’re not telling me that since old beardie-wierdie Karl wrote all that nonsense visionary stuff of his absolutely no-one no-where has managed to make it work? Tell me it ain’t so!

     Strangely, when I ask my Christian friends about the existence of heaven, they always say that the absence of proof is no argument in favour of hell.

   So I’ll take that as a ‘no’, shall I? No communist system of government has ever worked and produced a reasonably contented and prosperous society – and yet you persist in advocating it. Since you use a Christian argument, although as a non-Christian myself it fails to impress, have you ever thought of joining the ‘Wee Frees’ or the Plymouth Brethren, they’re both miniscule sects with daft ideas, you, and that clever-Dick lecturer, would fit in a treat!

     Unlike you I suspect, I don’t think a government based on Marxist principles has ever been tried, so the chances of success are somewhat unlikely.

     I’m no Christian either, although the point I was making seems to have floated straight over your head, but don’t worry yourself.

       “I don’t think a government based on Marxist principles has ever been tried”

       Well done, Councillor, now try a second step and ask yourself why, in the very nearly 150 years since the unreadable ‘Das Kapital’ was published, no-one has given Marxism a try? (Oh dear, I think I just answered my own question – of course, because the bloody thing is, indeed, unreadable!)

         Only to the deeply thick… Oh dear, I think you’ve answered my point too!
