Whine & Cheese

People with a massive sense of entitlement.

Sorry, Phat, that was not aimed at you.I was more so thinking about the little wretches in the UK who go through life expecting to get everything handed to them a a silver platter.Like the rat boys who are unemployed because the jobs available are not good enough for them to get out of bed for and then they complain when to current crop of immigrants work diligent 12 hour shift: "they're tekkin our jerbs!".Then they say that no one has given them a chance (conveniently forgetting the 10 years of chances the educational system has offered them).Sorry if it sounded like I was getting at you, I know you work hard and to a significant degree I feel you pain.

My UK ratboys don't even have that!And they seem to expect to handed jobs that allow them to live lives most people would not sensibly expect.And then they go off at immigrants who's work ethic blows there's out of the water.

What you need to do is emmigrate.Then your work ethic will displace the indigins and you can clean up!(No pun intended).

My take on this is that as soon and the monied class saw the middle class doing well they became a viable target for fleecing.Once they were in the monied classes sights it was pretty much a slow game over.With all the 'aspirational goods' marketed the middle class wanted more and more.Like unto a junky.Now this 'aspiration' seems to have infected the young 'uns without the ability to aquire such goods....

What the hard workers often forget is that for the majority of them they will be putting in that hard work for the one with the 6-7 figure wages.

More whine from me.Today the Torries vote cap spending on benefit for disabled people and not to cap any egregious pay out for bumbling big business fat cats.They really are the Nasty Party and no mistake. Bastards.Edited by Larni, : No reason given.Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

I agree with you that there are some lay shouts who do cock all about making their way on the world but you appear to be throwing the baby out with the bath water.The issue here is that the rich use the poorer classes (everyone compared to them) to milk society for all they can get. Do you honestly think a logger who works for 30 years and is made redundant when the business owner rationalises his business so his profits stay high works any less harder than the businessman?Yet an unregulated free market gives a disproportionate amount of wealth the the owners of the means of production.You say your son made a of it with his business and that is grand. But I would prefer to credit him and his hard work than richer people who allowed it to happen. It was the government that set up the infrastructure to allow in to happen.Could he have made a go of it in a country with a weak infrastructure?

Stop parasitising them, for a start.

I'v seen the moving picture at the kinoes of the New World: Poor people living in levee busting poverty and cities dying slow strangulated deaths.Our former colony does not seem a fair place, to me.

You mean Great Britain. Largest empire ever: ruled the waves with diplomacy and overwhelming firepower rather than McDonalds and Britany Spears.
