thanks, he looked busy and didnt think he would stop and talk to us, but he did.

@sabradan Sums it all up really, don't it? You see this kind of thing everywhere, even in my job. I'm a cleaner and the supervisors do fuck all, the managers do even less, we're the ones doing the work. I should be getting a supervisors wage, especially if we're supposed to live in a meritocracy. I know the truth is far from that, but in a fair world i'd be getting paid more due to my increased work load over the lazy fucking managers.

Are you mad?! Worked for it?! I've lived in America, mate, and believe me, few of those who actually HAVE any real wealth did anything to earn it. Maybe their parents or grandparents did, but not them. They barely worked a day hard labour in their lives. Those who DO work hard have nothing, and are overworked, underpaid, etc etc. Piss off, wanker.

I've gotta agree with 68evolver. So, you'd rather go back to Maggie the Milk Snatcher, then? For shame.

because when you have a country run by capitalist theres nothing to be pro for

[britskin88]

commie hooligans,allways bitchin about something,..anti this ..anti that,,,why cant they be pro something for a change

[useacondompeople]

not all or even most of the dirty rich, in america atleast, haven't worked hard n honest to get their scum money. look at bimbo/ talentless paris hilton. and all those other talentless cows like lindsay lohan etc. not all wealthy people are deserving, talented or hard working. alot sleep their way towards the top. some r just lucky enuff to b born into family money etc. american has 47 million people with NO health insurance/ coverage.get the $ needed from these super rich fuckers. simple.

[retronostalgic]

maybe the 1 or 2 percent who have the wealth have worked hard to get it. Hard work and success shouldn't be penalised as there is nothing wrong with trying to better yourself. What system would you like to see in the UK then?

[useacondompeople]

move over to the land of greed and corruption then. money obsessed, capitalist america. where like 1 or 2 percent of the population have ALL the wealth. like hollywood. these wankers have it all n then some. and the rest of the people don't even have health insurance/ coverage. u like this system better, than all people being taken care of fairly?

[useacondompeople]

billy rather looks like frank perdue, or ross perot. but love him. i wish i was a brit. americans r sooooo menttally lazy n complacent. they don't do shit in the u.s. never wanna get off their lazyboys n protest. that's y 47 million americans still have NO affordable healthcare. 47 million uninsured. i gotta leave this sad, unfair country.
