Capitalism And Greed

[grumpy01]

Boris tells 1922 committee members that the success of the Covid vaccine rollout is due to capitalism and greed.Then attempts to withdraw it.What a Pratt after all the efforts of everyone involved.

[emmie]

said during what was a private meeting,

[grumpy01]

Maybe it was a private meeting Emmie but what a stupid thing to say.He really doesn’t help himself.

[emmie]

if you read the link it does explain what he said in detail

[emmie]

also read Laura Kneussberg comments, further down the page.

So what? Its working isn't it?

[emmie]

A government source said the PM was referring to the profit motive driving companies to develop new products.

[bobbinwales]

He'll regret that.even tho he withdrew it immediatly it'll keep being said

[bobbinwales]

Profit motive is fine. Greed isn't when you compare it to the efforts of many involved in covid. At least he realised and tried to withdrew it

[emmie]

read both links, Laura's and the original, it explains in more detail.

[Deskdiary]

Even if it was said as some people will want it to have been said (I can hear Canary and Gulliver, amongst others, girding their loins already), as Dave succinctly put it - so what.

[emmie]

because it will be taken out of context...

[royfromaus]

Can't see why he backtracked on it...it is true.

[emmie]

because it doesn't play well to his opponents.

Capitalism . A political system in which a countrys trade and industry are controlled by private owners for their own profit more than the goodness of the State.
Translated = Cons Cronie Club.

^^^ like a rat up a rope , haha

[gulliver1]

I would say this is one of Boris's best Gaffes.

[emmie]

of course you would say that, whereas Labour is short for laborious

[emmie]

it wasn't a gaffe if you read the link.......

[Bobbisox1]

Emmie, Gull isn’t going to read any links, he gleefully sees a snipe at Boris and it’s * Boom* I’ll have some of that :0))))
