  So the basic message from the two neo liberals is the economic system is broken and doesn't work for the 98%, but we should continue doing the same thing that led to this over the last 2-3 decades because it’s impossible to change, and the reasons why it’s impossible is because it’s impossible, even though we know how and why it’s broken.

  As a woman, I don’t want to hand my child off for more hours. One wage should be enough, and we should have evolved further from the 40 hour work week as well. <br>We should be spending more time socially and healthily not grinding at work. We work too much for too little. We should be ambitious and expect more. Why should the rich be the only ones who can enjoy a holiday, enjoy the arts, spend time relaxing, enjoying the houses we’re paying so much for. Why should they have it all? <br>I’m not asking for a yacht, I’m happy in a cute little cottage, not beyond my means, a little garden, the occasional holiday, ( oaken never been abroad or had an on UK holiday since my honeymoon three years ago, where I spent money locally in the Orkney islands community) <br>I shop locally, I don’t watch much tv, so my hobbies are different and not expensive.<br><br>I’m happy this way. I’m not happy being brought down by the government into the kid to pay taxes the rich should be.<br><br>I know plenty of people who are happy with a clean, upto date and comfortable but compact flat. I’m happy with a little old cottage in the countryside.<br>Some people like modern town house.<br>Not everyone wants a mansion. <br>Why can’t we have safe homes and variety and beauty in the designs and work of our fellow people?<br>Why does everything have to be only for the powerful. &nbsp;Tax them. We should not go back to starving in such a wealthy country. The working class need to get educated in this, we need to vote in our interests not fighting other working people because of skin colour or place of birth.

  The fake outrage from the Labour MP about the continued privatization of NHS would be hilarious if it wasn’t either incredibly naive or purposely dishonest. The Labour government is so in hock to corporate money for campaign funds and boondoggles that it is obvious that they will be absolutely impotent to derail the long-term corporate plan, I.e. to constantly nibble away at the service until it is unworkable as a public entity. Anyone looking at the hard accounting statistics will see that services, across the board, suffer, and become more expensive to run, as soon as placed in private hands. It is not rocket science that if you put the &nbsp;foxes in charge of the henhouse it’s not going to be good for the chickens.

  We complain that 50 families have more wealth than the bottom 50% and the labour MP&apos;s response includes &quot;We are taxing private schools&quot;. Yes, the £5k or so extra VAT on each of those families children will really make a difference.....a huge dent in their billions of pounds and £35m per day income

  Labour are out the door. They&apos;re only salty about the Green party since they can&apos;t use their &quot;you have to vote for us we&apos;re the only real alternative&quot; stance anymore. Rosie drew the short straw having to go on there to defend the party :D
