Er, not to get too corrvpt scvm, but the problem is that someone else would then get bumped down to live in said basement.
What matters isn't the size of the penthouse on the top, it's the the 100 bedsits under it. You can redistribute that top 1% of real wealth all you like, but it's still only going to the one rat that wins the race.
If you seize and distribute their imaginary wealth (numbers in a spreadsheet) it's even worse. It's delusional to declare that "now everybody can afford a penthouse!" when there's only one extant example.
This is why I get proper Frank Doberman over "starter homes", which is just spin for building more tiny boxes that nobody actually wants to live in. We should be building mansions and actually increasing the total and average quality of life.
And also gassing the unproductive. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

The difference between now and these "many times" it's supposedly happened, is that the underclass that was rising up was being kept in abject poverty for the benefit of the overlords.
Now the poor are just lazy cunts and are financially supported by said overlords. |
Maybe I read that wrong?
It read "I worked for a few years, then thought feck that, I can sponge a living and get stoned, whilst pretending to be a writer".

A day or two old, but...
Corbyn has imposed a three line whip on voting in the proposed Article 50 legislation.
His two whips are both saying they're going to rebel .
It turns out having a history of rebelling more than any other labour MP doesn't lay the best foundations for expecting others to do as you say. |

Hope my local MP's rebel. In am ideal world, it would mean they got voted out at the next election. Though I know deep down it won't happen. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

Mmm, yup. On the occasional times when I get suckered into viewing Failbook, it reminds me that average = mong. The masses don't vote for their constituency candidate on a careful analysis of their platform and legislative history; they vote for the party leader based on whether they believe that they fucked a pig's head.
That's why Labour absolutely must defenestrate Comrade Corbyn well before 2020. A Brexit betrayal now is better than a desperate disavowal then. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Will he recant his support for Comrade Maduro now that socialist paradise Venezuela has gone the way of all socialist paradises, i.e. a naked despotic police state?
Or will he agree with The Honourable Comrade for Derby North that Venezuela's problem is "the right wing opposition [protesting] on the streets"?
Don't these reactionaries realise that everyone[*] is slowly but inexorably starving to death? It's the ultimate in social justice and wealth equality.
[*] Not the Inner Party or the police, obviously, they're vital to keeping the revolution rolling. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Labour council employs one in ten staff on zero hours contracts despite Jeremy Corbyn's vow to ban them
One in ten staff at a Labour-run council are on zero hours contracts, it has emerged, amid accusations of hypocrisy after Jeremy Corbyn said he would ban the practice.
Over 600 of the 4,300 staff at Brighton and Hove council do not have guaranteed hours, despite the Labour leader pledging to ban the contracts during the general election campaign.
The party has previously come under fire after it was revealed that some Labour MPs use zero hours contracts to employ their staff, while other councils also run by the party do the same.
Union leaders have vowed to fight the practice and demanded staff be given proper employment rights by Brighton and Hove and others, while the Tories have called the practice "hypocritical".
The figures were revealed in the council's annual report, which stated that the numbers do not include schools.
A second Labour-run council was also under fire last night after it emerged the authority is set to relaunch a flagship local theatre where the majority of staff will be on zero hours agreements.
Darlington council prompted fury from Labour MP Jenny Chapman who said the use of such agreements was "exploitative" and unacceptable. The decision has prompted a rift among local Labour politicians in the area.
Zero hours contracts are those which do not give staff guaranteed hours or holiday or sick pay. Some staff like the agreements because it allows them flexibility, while others are left worrying about whether they will be able to work from one day to the next.
During the general election campaign Mr Corbyn vowed to put a stop to the practice.
Speaking after it emerged zero hours agreements had been used at the Glastonbury festival which he addressed this year, Mr Corbyn's spokesman said: "Jeremy and the Labour party have taken a very strong stand against the use of zero-hours contracts, and the exploitation of migrant and other workers, and the spread of all manner of insecure agency working, and we would take that view wherever it happened."
Maria Caulfield MP said: "Labour promised the world at the election – but this hypocrisy shows you exactly what a country led by Labour would be like.
"Labour are prepared to say anything to get your vote but do the exact opposite leaving workers to pick up the pieces.

Labour party pledges to outlaw all zero-hours contracts
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell says Labour will put an end to the ‘rigged economy’ after election win.
Labour has pledged to ban all zero-hours contracts, put a halt to unpaid internships and end the pay cap on public sector staff in an unashamedly leftwing pitch to British workers.
In a move welcomed by union leaders but that will be attacked as “anti-business” and unaffordable by opponents, the 20-point blueprint also includes commitments to double paid paternity leave to four weeks, increase paternity pay and guarantee temporary and part-time workers the same rights as full-time employees.
The shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the policies would form “the cornerstone of the next Labour government’s programme to bring an end to the rigged economy that many experience in workplaces across Britain”. The package includes promises to increase the minimum wage to match the national living wage (expected to be at least £10 an hour by 2020) and to introduce a maximum 20:1 pay ratio between the highest and lowest earners in the public sector and in companies bidding for public sector contracts.
McDonnell said: “The scandal of six million people earning less than the living wage and four million children growing up in poverty are not inevitable. It only takes a change of government to bring these outrages to an end.” |
