I am sorry about your mate. Not certain that fits in with my comments about working hard. He is obviously not in a position to work hard.
I hope he gets proper treatment and the care he deserves. Worryingly I have read about several ex servicemen sleeping rough on the streets. That's an outrage and should never be allowed to happen.

I'll let you into a little secret, money isn't everything.
I'd take health and happiness over wealth every time, something that money cant always buy.

Very true, my posting was in reply to the assumption that only the privileged few can get rich.

I guess it depends on your definition of rich; it's obviously unrealistic that everyone in society can have boundless wealth - and as Wrencat has pointed out, many people don't want or expect that. But it's not tenable that the vast majority of wealth and power is so concentrated amongst a tiny group of privileged elites, whilst people who work hard and try to get on find that their efforts don't give them a decent lifestyle. With use of foodbanks at unprecedented levels and record employment levels existing alongside record numbers of people in poverty - something has to be wrong. And that's aside from the absolutely disgusting and degrading treatment of people with additional needs that has become the trademark of the Tory government and it's media mafia.
I sincerely hope that people vote for change on the 8th June - because as Mrs May pointed out just yesterday - as if she were the leader of the opposition and had no part to play in 7 years of government - enough is enough.

The argument is about income tax & corporation tax. I would class the privileged few as those inheriting wealth without any input, which is a different argument.

| I see the excuse that the weather for Thursday could hurt Labour as their supporters are less likely to go vote if it's raining Want to make the country a better place but not if it means getting a bit wet

Thank you for your always erudite and thought provoking contributions - complete with laughing emoticons, which can only add gravitas.

On of the most stark indicators of what we have in store, should the Tories be returned to power, was the nurse who asked Mrs May, why her salary was pretty much the same as it was 7 years ago and if thins would change and after first of all, sneering at the nurse (as she does when anyone asks her a difficult question), Mrs May pretty much said that's how it was and things would remain tight.
Now, nobody minds a bit of austerity in the short term but, to tell a healthcare professional that they will have to work for less each year (in real terms) for the foreseeable future, is an utter disgrace.
Mrs May, no doubt, was happy to accept the 10% rise that MP's got in 2015, whilst at the same time squeezing local authority workers and forcing them to accept below inflation (in some cases zero) wage rises.
Fair society

Hopefully the route to your polling station will be slightly complicated which will stop the stupid from voting.

I said there were 1m people who simply cannot work, that would include you - I also said those people need to be provided for. So get off you high horse, read what is actually written not what you want it to say

If the NHS is so bad how did it manage to deal with all the casualties from the London stabbing and the Manchester bombing?
When you really need it the NHS delivers a brilliant service - if you have tooth ache and you waste the valuable time of A&E staff then you probably get the service you deserve.
