Full English Brexit



You earn a few quid like Bill Gates and then give it away and you're a philanthropist.

You do the same and you're a bit left wing and you're a champagne socialist.

Speaking as a champagne socialist.....

The huge problem with Billy Bragg is that he's not very good anymore. Whether it was wealth and a comfortable lifestyle that caused that decline, or whether he just ran out of steam is moot. But he's just a bit rubbish these days

More interested in being a cult figure for Corbyn fans than writing any decent songs.
 
Better a Socialist living in a mansion than a greedy, selfish Capitalist. The bloke has made a lot of money out of his music, do you expect him to live in a 1 bed flat and stash all his money in the bank?. No problem with him living in a mansion, as long as he hasn't also got a string of houses he rents out to those who will never have a chance of owning their own home, or shares in a former nationalised industry that mean the rest of us have to pay higher bills. At least he wants other people to do well, unlike the real enemy, filthy rich tories like May, Mogg, Johnson, Farage etc
Enemy ffs. Get a grip you stupid man.
 
Ignoring the terminology, what’s better;

- a millionaire like Bragg who thinks the working man should be more equal?

- a millionaire like Mogg who actively votes against the working man? And yet courts their vote?
I prefer moderation. Using terms like enemy is why so many avoid the left wing hardliners.

They may not be your enemy, but I can assure you, they are mine.


Wow ! Great riposte :rolleyes:
Using terms like enemy is pathetic.
 
Sang by Billy Bragg the multi millionaire champagne socialist. I wonder if he wrote that while sitting in his mansion.

What exactly do you expect a socialist to do when they've made money? Give it away? Live in a flat? Vote tory?

All socialism is asking is that those who earn more pay his fair share in tax to give to those who have less

Champagne socialist is a pathetic slur
 
A lot of jealous people on this thread.

And still nobody has ever been able to tell where the sweet spot is.

Not enough money = Politics of envy
Too much money = Champagne socialist

There must be a median point somewhere where you're allowed to have socialist views but not be a hypocrite, can any of our resident Tories and LLLs tell me where it is?
Who does Tory voters Dad's vote for?

I think the global average wage is something around £15k to £20k. So about that I would say.
