Isn't it terrible how people want to generate more money than they already have?

If only we could all agree to have exactly the same amount of wealth and access to resources as each other...

Wouldn't THAT be a world worth living in, eh?

Interseting piece on the BBC about what (American) people constitutes a fair society.

Presumuably we draw the conclusion that if you think you will do well out of profit then you don't think it is quite so bad.

Why is always one extreme to the other? What is so wrong with railing against selfish capaitalism that automatically turns you into a Stalinist/Maoist quasi-dictator?

I don't understand internet forums or folk that inhabit them!

One. And you'll have to wait until the Central Committee of the People's Biscuits have ruled on that. In the meantime, there's cake. Oh, wait...

Hey, the markets determine the wealth I've created by selling this biscuit on. I'm just using the system to improve my lot.

I'll raise your Gulag to my Camp X-ray!

There is currently a five-year plan under review at the Committee for Statistical [s]Propaganda[/s] Information.

When it is complete, we will inform the people.

In the meantime, you can eat bread. Oh, wait...

We could liberate the Hob Nobs for the people. I of course would get to eat them to symbolise the glorious power of the people. Well someone has to do it!

Can't wait to get it out on the trails. I've been assured that there may be some production delays, and quality control issues, but I'll definitely have it by 2025!!

First they came for the Jammy dodgers,
and I didn't speak out because I was eating a Garibaldi

Then they came for the Digestives,
and I didn't speak out because I nibbling on a Custard cream

Then they came for the oatcakes,
and I didn't speak out because I was a bit bloated after a dunking a rich tea in my coffee

Then they came for me,
and asked me to chip in to the biscuit tin

Those Pox's Farty Rings above must be re-educated for the good of the party. The Iced Gem political commissars will see to it.
