Every vote for a conservative enables a parasite like Mark Reckless to parrot the plutocrats' lines - I bet he'll be out to support Beecroft by the back door soon now.

Incidentally Don and Jock, there is a name for the rich who do support the poor. Philanthropists.

Jock - I don't know your current situation. Not all are as resilient as you. By toeing the capitalist line of self sufficiency you condemn those less able to misery. But of course capitalists think that is merited.

Don - I hate bullies. I hate bullies who do it with money just as much as those who do it with clubs. Conservatives enable bullies. If ability was all it was about, why did you not, with your ability and diligence, become wealthy? Things went wrong for you and as a human being you deserved state support. Why deny it to others? You have swallowed a line, a line that kowtows to the plutocrats.

The oppression of the poor by the rich has to stop.
