Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Centre for social justice? don't use words that you don't know the meaning of H/S and that goes for Smuts as well.

Socialists have a different pathway to Social Justice than other groups. Like it or not the world is turning away from socialism as it is a failed paradigm. It has existed nowhere on earth in any successful form. The way to better lives is via capitalism. That is the employment of capital to make profit. The making of that profit involves work and therefore jobs. The taxing of that profit and the payment for the work enables the provision of public services. That much is obvious.
The more successful that businesses become, the more jobs are created. There is no source of money for public spending except that which is produced by private businesses. One of the most important activities of a government is to create a climate where businesses can thrive. Left wing governments have never treated business generation that seriously.
There is a myth that right wing parties don't care about poor and disadvantaged people. Of course this is a convenient myth for the left wing and is total nonsense.

I have met quite a few Conservative politicians, some of them quite senior. They are without exception committed to improving people's lives. I received a Christmas card this morning from a government minister that I know works very hard and much harder than the average person. Their interest is doing the right thing for the public.

Haze,
Did you polish his shoes or something similar?
Mind you do seem to know a lot of people in high places.
Met any angels yet?

Did anyone watch Question Time tonight?
Champaigne socialist and multi millionaire Brand got stuck into Farage, or tried to, made a complete arsehole of himself and probably put a few more bob in his pocket.
But the prize of pig ignorant tosser of the evening goes to imo:
Probably the thickest MP I have ever seen, she had no clue about anything being discussed, could hardly string a sentence together and spent the whole evening blathering on about stuff no one was interested in...tosh.
Haystack probably fancies her.
edit: Another one who's never done a proper job:

DB4,
Especially if your son or daughter are in the armed forces and capture "alive" by the "enemy".
That is the price of wars.

Quentin Letts;
"Question Time was once a forum for rapier wit and cerebral dialectic. Audiences would sit in wonder before the likes of Michael Foot, Roy Jenkins, John Biffen. Public intellectuals would be invited – Sir John Mortimer, R.V. Jones, Edna O’Brien.
Now the BBC, hooked on egalitarianism, promotes foaming demagogues and meretricious self-publicists. Russell Brand gets so much airtime on the Beeb, you wonder if director-general Lord Hall is on a cut from his agent."

DB4.
I agree with your sentiment.
For myself, i often wonder why I watch the program, but sometimes they do have "team" which gel.
But with the political scene as it is there is a dearth of "honest" nonpartisan individuals.
Also, many from other walks of life would not like to debate in manner of last night's program.
Thought Camilla Cavendish, Labour MP Mary Creagh were head and shoulders above the rest.
Nigel was blown away.
=====
Generally, find Brand less than appealing, but he did make smile a little last night.
But I suppose it is the celebrity media standard.
