Drained Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 No. You're forgetting about the "trickle down effect". I would have remembered if it actually happened. These wealth creators ought to realise that unless us plebs have money they will have to f off elsewhere to be gifted a living. And i do hate Labour i just hate them less than the Tory party at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since his current wealth is so tied up in property, maybe the mansion tax is scaring him?I remember reading in his biography how he realised that setting up nursing homes was a great deal, as there was guaranteed demand in the form of the state.

Bruce Banner Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Vote UKIP....or Green. Just don't vote for LibLabCon. The best chance of getting a change, in my opinion, would be a coalition including UKIP with Farage in the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax2 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 didnt they do something like this last time? not sure if it was the bank crises or the previous election, but I do remember a headline where 100 willy-wavers signed something to "urge" the government to do something else. Its a sign to do the exact opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybong Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) The "One Hundred" don't really care who in the LibLabCon is in power as they're part of the string pullers pulling the LibLabCon's strings but they put on a show to pretend that there's a choice and that "democracy" isn't rigged. Like the "independent" BoE they'll support the incumbents as that benefits them most overall. They must have been weeks/months in organising signatures at the local rotundas. Then claim that they're "Apolitical". There's 100 of them and they should place their vote (or not) like the rest of us millions. Their employees shouldn't allow themselves to be intimidated by the opinion of 100, a little more than a handful, of those running companies.
