You're just a constant flow of hatred and resentment, sarcasm and cynicism, name calling and negativity. And you wonder why you're depressed?
We all touch on all those things from time to time, but when it's all you do, it's pretty glaring. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

What I don't like is, in a cost of living crisis, for the richest to get a massive tax break at the same time as the poor are unable to pay their heating and food bills and the very poorest on benefits are unlikely to even get an inflationary rise to the minimal amount of money they get. |
Well put - and I agree. My only slight vibe is that, for instance, there's this Big Issue seller stands outside our Sainsburys (has done for years, on and off - is Asian...as in Indian subcontinent sfaict, in his late 40s / 50s). I'm not sure he understands the purpose behind the Big Issue - he seems to treat it as an actual job, selling the mag.
In any case, the point is he's got quite a decent mobile phone. The other month i watched a funny occurrence. A 30-ish bloke came out of Sainsburys, saw the Big Issue guy, and went to give him some money - but the seller was on his phone and kind of totally ignored the bloke. He walked off and then turned around and came back in an attempt to once again give the seller some money (or buy a mag or both), and the thing repeated itself.
All I'm saying is that a lot of these skint people seem to have massive tellies, decent phones and better cars than me. And central heating set at 22 degrees 24 hours a day. Without getting too deep into "teh frost was on the inside of our windows when we was growin up pal," I do sometimes think there's a need for a bit of cloth cutting to go on. ____________________ "Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent."

I think people will cut their cloth to a point before protesting. Big jumpers can be worn, cheaper food can be bought, but when folk can't afford the phone, that in my opinion will be the trigger for riots.
