You are the ultimate definition of this word, far more than any other poster that graces this forum.

He & his brother avoided inheritance tax on the millions they got from daddy. Watch for some house flipping & second home status. He is MP for Doncaster so can blag it.

Would be useful if the socialists offered some troll worthy diatribe. A Bit like Ed Miliband, they are clueless & irrelevant in the 21st century.

No matter how many times you may shout it, it still doesn't make it true.
As has often been proven whenever you've resorted to your stock rhetoric.
You've already attempted to tak the pi[iss[/i out of Harry Smith - you know, the OAP (your term) who stood up at the Labour conference to defend the NHS.
Now ask yourself, without the massive investment in Social Security
You'd have been born somewhere else. Hope this helps.
How on earth do you know that you would have never been treated but for the NHS?
Is education the exclusive preserve of socialist thinking? You seem confused on this one.

If socialism is so great, why do we have food banks & so many children in poverty in the UK? Why are we having all this austerity? I mean we had a socialist government between 1997 & 2010?
The socialist government post WW2 only lasted one term & a bit before it was booted out. Bizarre

I have no political persuasion at all. Ever. Stupid, infantile comments such as yours confirm my thoughts that I made the right choice.

Likewise, the party politics part of politics is by far the most ridiculous and unworkable mess of a system in which to run a country - if you ran a business in the same manner then you wouldn't have a business in a very short measure of time, hence the reason why no-one in power ever takes a long look at where we are and what we need, no Prime Minister ever decided that his role should be one of Chairperson of UK PLC and made decisions based on what was best for the PLC rather than what his mates were telling him to say.
It does offer some amusement on both sides of the Atlantic though when the flag wavers of each party start to make huge sweeping generalisations under the assumption that you can't be a little bit of each party, or none at all.

Similarly when people vote on the basis of what is best for "me", not the country, and screw everyone else.

Moreso when people simply vote for the colour of the party flag and often because their parents told them to.
Personally and due to the current configuration of "the system" I vote for the bloke who does a good job, who works hard in the constituency and keeps in touch with constituents as to his whereabouts each day, and who can be contacted via a range of methods which WILL get a reply - hence the bloke who is our current sitting MP, I don't give a damn about his party or his Party's proposals because frankly they are a bag of poop and will never get into a position where they can enact them OR that I expect any party follow any manifesto to the letter once they are in power, they don't, they simply change their tune and look to blame someone else (the Tory party supporting Browns proposals to bail out the banks and then blaming Brown for the whole worlds financial mess a few months after getting into power for just one of many examples).

Everyone has a political persuasion. Where was the infantile stuff? Miliband was so desperate to defend his bankrupt ideology he mentioned Venezuela!

Not really. Everyone has a political opinion, but that doesn't necessarily align along traditional party or even Right/Left boundaries.
It's called Free Thinking. You should try it some time.

The last Socialist government in this country ended with Thatcher's victory in 1979. Neither the Blair nor Brown administrations were Socialist in any meaningful sense of the word.
And the number of food banks in the UK has grown enormously since the current government came to power, so that's a really poor example to use.

where are kids starving, in fact, I'll qualify that, where are kids starving that is anyone's fault other than the parents that procreated and can't afford them?
it is not MY job to pay for other people to have unprotected sex.

Yes it is. In the same way as when you get ill or need the police or drive on the roads or aren't killed by buildings collapsing around you or unsafe working practices, I, along with everyone else, has paid for that.
It's called civilised society.
