General Election 2024

This childhood “humour” from champagne socialists is quite endearing.

Baz mate. Are you channeling this passion/anger (delete as appropriate) into any kind of activism or action? Genuinely interested because as much as I love this board, its reach is somewhat limited and you might find forgoing winding up decent folk here to free up time to pursue more positive endeavours elsewhere leaves you feeling less impotent in the face of the horrors our country are facing under Labour.

He’s an “I’m alright Jack” who takes it as a personal slight at the very mention of maybe having to pay a little more. Anyone who hasn’t been successful only has themselves to blame and deserves to suffer.
He’s just your average selfish right wing twit.

And he’s thinks we’re all champagne socialists.
I must get my right wing buzzword bingo set out

As I’m a “working person” I am immune to the impact on pensioners and farmers. Also hardly a buzzword when your friend is bragging how rich he is. Although I doubt he has that much really.

If you think that shirkers should be bailed out by the strivers then that tells me everything I need to know about left wing values.

Martin ain't my friend.

Champagne too cheap for my taste.

Citation needed for 'bragging about richness'

As well as being significantly richer, I also have a heart, happiness and a larger willy (well according to Andrew who would know)

Can't wait to tell the lads I've upgraded to champagne. They'll be delighted for me!

One out of four isn’t bad for you.
