Thatcher’s Famous Quote - The Problem With Socialism Is That Eventually You Run Out Of Other People's Money

[Hymie]

needs updating to - The problem with capitalism is that eventually the government has given all your money to their mates.

As my mate Phil explains, it is the Labour Party that is prudent with taxpayer money:-

[gulliver1]

Spot on as usual Hymie, a perfect example was Baroness Mone who dessip off with £29 million of tax payers money never to be heard of again.
Why wasn't she Brought to book ??

[ToraToraTora]

Looks like a Trollsketeer love in is developing! The trobscites and the rest of the 5C will be along soon guys! Have fun!

[gulliver1]

Ah TTT ...And his 5C'S Where are the other 4 then today ?

[douglas9401]

It's a nice line but every government uses other people's money.

Some use it for the country and others to enrich themselves and their cronies.

[gulliver1]

11.34. The latter in the case of the present Govt.

[ToraToraTora]

There you go watch her magnificence in action.....

[ToraToraTora]

TGL: "Socialists were rather the poor were poorer as long as the rich were less rich". Yep that's the lefties!

[Hymie]

A reality check for TTT

[ToraToraTora]

so film star with loads of money recommends socialism for the rest of us! Thanks for that Hymie, right on!

PP stares at a puddle on the floor

and says " oh, TTT has been cracking one liners again"

//As my mate Phil explains, it is the Labour Party that is prudent with taxpayer money:-//

I have had the unpleasant misfortune of living under Labour administrations for around 13 years (and this does not include the 13 years of pretend-Labour from 1997 to 2010).

When you and your mate Phil have done likewise, come back with your opinions again.

[ToraToraTora]

Yep bang on judge, I love the way these Nouveau lefties go on about socialism etc, never having had to live under it.

// it is the Labour Party that is prudent with taxpayer money //

what practical purpose is served, or road traffic regulation satisfied, by a "Rainbow" pelican crossing, each of which costs £50k? if neither, why are sundry labour councils installing them?

[Hymie]

Ah yes, the wonderful times we are living in now, after 13 years of glorious Tory rule, with over 11 million people in the UK living in absolute poverty (according to the UK government).

[ToraToraTora]

No one is living in poverty Hymie. Unless you count not having the latest iPhone as poverty.

[Omg21]

Wasn’t Liam Byrne the Labour MP who left a note saying there was no money when Labour were voted out of power?

[Hymie]

The generally accepted definition of Absolute Poverty – is a condition where household income is below a necessary level to maintain basic living standards (food, shelter, housing); that’s the reality for more than 11 million UK citizens.

and not Tory boy’s definition of not having the latest iphone.

[naomi24]

Hymie, if you think anyone in this country is living in absolute poverty you’ve never seen poverty, never mind absolute poverty. Absolute rot!

[emeritus]

Just a quick question Hymie. Were you that Fruitcake who sprinted across College Green so he could display his Anti Brexit placards behind a GMB presenter this morning ?
