Four of us lived in a one bedroom flat with a shared toilet and
no bathroom so you can F*** off with your assumptions.
Why have you turned into such a TWAT?
I feel your pain wolfman.
I don't give a rats a$$ but I feel your pain.
Originally posted by @indonesia-phil Actually I believe the post was posted in response to an incorrect assumption rather than any kind of 'outrage'.
As a general point, being born into lowly circumstances is not a 'life choice', it's a life, and if you really think that everybody has the same and equal opportunities then you're not living in the same world as I am. Whatever the play ...[text shortened]... right, so I'm not grinding a personal ax, but let's not kid ourselves that we're all born equal.
For the most and most important part, any 'fix' to the inequality of opportunity will result in the elimination of opportunity.
The radical left is after an equality of results.
It didn't work in Russia, and it won't work anywhere else...
unless the goal is the elimination of opportunity across the board.

I'm not pro-tobacco by any means and I would like to see less smoking but don't think I dislike Priti Patel for making the case for tobacco industries. .
Originally posted by @ashiitaka I should hope we don't model our country on the likes of Ricky Gervais.
Liam Gallagher is a prick.
Alan Sugar has supported Labour most of his life.
Do you not think Ricky Gervais and Liam Gallagher are successful?
The list I gave were counter-examples to your stupid claim that
"The left is occupied by failures who are bitter of people who forged their way to the top"
Originally posted by @ashiitaka I have gotten to where I am today on my own but I am not a success yet. I still have 5.5 more years of studying left before I qualify.
If you had not wasted all those years touring the Caribbean you might have qualified by now.
Originally posted by @ashiitaka Oopsy, Alan Sugar backed Mrs May in the last election and has repeatedly criticized labour over the past few years...
Joseph Stiglitz, that economist who wrote a book tearing the EU you love to shreds (it was a good book). He hasn't backed labour in any election. What he has done is praise Jeremy Corbyn's opposition to austerity.
I should hope we d ...[text shortened]... ikes of Ricky Gervais.

I hope this isn't the best you can do.
It's a bit sad that you trawled the Wikipedia page of every single name I posted, searching for dirt.

Some say it needed one more fitting; others that it was concealing a bump.
The paparazzi will never leave them alone. Hope she is prepared for that.
Originally posted by @ashiitaka You wouldn't be classified as on the Left over in Blighty. There's no such thing as a Christian fundamentalist zionist in the labour party. No, no, no, the left here is way more radical than most Americans can comprehend. Jeremy Corbyn has described Hamas as "friends" and has openly admitted that he is a Marxist. His shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, say ...[text shortened]... what he could change about his past if he could, he said: "I'd have murdered Margaret Thatcher".
Yes, I am Christian, and I even accept that I might be a "Zionist" merely for supporting Israel, but I must take umbrage to you labeling me a "fundamentalist". Regardless of what lies the white-Christian-hating Duchess likes to paint me with, I am far from a "fundamentalist". Those are fighting words where I come from. I can't be bothered to give a flying rat's ass where I fall on the European political spectrum, but in the US, I am solidly on the left. I wouldn't mind even being painted as a 'moderate', but to place me on the right is completely beyond the pale and completely misrepresents my position on nearly everything.
