Subject: RE: BS: Is George Osborne Brainless?
yet another revolution eh?

You were all promising that when I first started going to folk clubs. Changing the world by going upstairs in pubs, lighting candles on tables, drinking beer and singing about reed cutting in Norfolk.

Smash the system!!!

Sorry, but Robin Hood wasn't a socialist, Osborne isn't on a hidden agenda to reintroduce serfdom.

As a striking miner, I saw many things that were wrong, and you know what? I soon realised thatcher and Scargill were two sides of the same coin. From that time on, I couldn't nail my flag to any ideological mast.

One good thing about France is that once they have had enough, the authorities will disperse the buggers with tear gas and water cannons. I doubt the French government have the best approach to the financial situation but if anarchy was to win, the first thing that would happen is that the wall everybody is up against will be wider with more posts than you thought.

All this talk of revolution; growing old disgracefully is a fun concept but doesn't aid debate other than to make me feel I should find some grown ups to debate with...
