Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland
so you reckon the amount of work we do should be reflected in our earnings......theres a novel concept.

the trouble is that inequality is enshrined and protected and ourroyal family puts the rubberstamp on it. when I suggested earlier that maybe the highland clearances were not fair and equitable - and that maybe some restitution was due to the Scottish people, I was accused of advocating 'a Mugabe type land grab'.

things are in a mess in this country, because the nobs fucked it up. they'd bitch about the unions at British Leyland striking for a decent wage - but the poor sods were flogging themselves to death on sixty year old track. cos there was no investment.

they had all the power and they will take NO responsibility for getting things right.its always the fault of the spendthrift working classes.

i'm retired now pretty much. I do a pubgig when its offered. but I worked hard all my working life and from the age of twenty seven, I've been my wife's carer. saved the country thousands by not leaving her and putting her in a home.

do I think I got the full measure of what my Dad drove Sherman tank for and saved this country from Hitler = penny for penny maybe. but did they owe and do they still owe - you betcha!
