Aye, what Stefan said. No political ideology is truly democratic, Frank, just look at how the idiot Truss became PM with 0.2% of the electorate voting for her. and the economic disaster that she and Boris have brought about. The Labour brand of socialism has never been a dictatorship, but has certainly done no worse than this lot. Thatcher had to sell the family silver to buy success and that hasn’t gone well now has it? Then May told us all that there is no magic money tree, but hold on, now there is! So that’s the Tories undemocratic and dealing in unsound economics and increasing national borrowing to previously unseen heights. They certainly haven’t learned any lessons Frank - trickle down economics has been disproved time after time so the idiot thinks she’ll bet the house on it. Everything that you blame Labour for is worse in the current brand of conservatism.

Incidentally, you’re right about the rich, we need them. However we need to ensure that they are not evading tax and putting money offshore that should be taxed here. I want to see innovation, investment and job creation rather than surplus profits simple being shared out between opportunist business leaders. They may be made to do these things because trust isn’t enough, which is one way in which Truss is going wrong.

You want to get away from this idea you seem to have that all socialists are communist. I used to think you were messing around but you’ve now proved that you really believe it. It’s the equivalent of me saying that all Conservatives are fascists.

No rage, no frustration. When this all falls apart, as it inevitably will, let’s see how you like watching the world laughing at us. I’d be laughing too if it wasn’t all so inevitable.
