    Why have you turned into such a TWAT?

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.

    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"

    If you had not wasted all those years touring the Caribbean you might have qualified by now.

    By the way - how did you tour? Yacht or row boat?

    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 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.

    BTW, I thought Megan's wedding dress was very appropriate.
    LOL @ moonbus, I've been around long enough to know how it works.

    Of course I would never take a Topic off course. 😉

    It should be a nice wedding dress for a reported over 500.000.00 to 600.000.00 😉 I heard she actually paid for it herself!!! I was impressed!!!

    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.

    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.
