Just going back over the thread and came across:
"So it is absolutely despicable that the wealthy elite are so brazen, arrogant, and presumptuous in their horrendous behaviour towards one another, and towards the rest of the world's citizens, isn't it?"

I'd just like to mention that the political leaders of this despicable little island with it's horrendous royal family are in the forefront of a campaign to lessen the debts of third world countries in order to improve the lot of "the rest of the world's citizens". This campaign, if I remember rightly, is not supported by a wonderful republic whose glorious leader bears the initials GWB.
