Would the UK ever "revolt"

Re: Would the UK ever

Do you the posh boys will give up The City without a fight to unarmed people? We have very little power so revolt would be suicidal.

Have you forgotten what you made up.... sorry, told us, you worked as?

At a merchant bank in Canary Wharf.

As a cleaner....

I was discussing this with a few of my mates today, after hearing about road privatisation, and potentially charging us for using certain roads, in addition to road tax.

Taking into account how much we are taxed etc already, the price of fuel, utility bills, having to sort your own pensions because the state can't afford to keep you when you retire etc.

Christ, the french were rioting over an extension to the retirement age of 2 years (i think).

Cameron & gordon brown admitted over 4 years ago, that for every £3 brought in, there is £4 going out, which is surely only getting worse.

Will us working people ever finally say enough is enough, or just keep getting kicked on the bollocks, and never do anything about it?

just interested to get other peoples thoughts?

Not while you can get three cases of beer for £20.

So gifts are OK but money is not?

No. Strictly speaking, none of them are okay by that policy. But that policy would rarely be applied in cases where tangible property are transferred from one person to another. For the reasons I'll make clearer below.

" However, a legal dispute as to who should have access to the gift would be decided in favour of the person who bought it"

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Care to explain?

I'll use exam-style specifics to elucidate my point.

Steve is from Brazil. He works hard. As a result of his hard work, the people of Brazil reward him with money. With this money, Steve buys a t-shirt. He gives it to Asif for Christmas. Asif has income of his own which is a reflection of the contribution he has made, as decided by the people of Brazil. For Steve to undermine what the people of Brazil think Asif should have takes the piss tbh. So Brazil do not recognise that transfer of ownership. However, Brazil would only need to decide who 'owns' what in cases where Steve says "fuck off Asif, I want my t-shirt back, I'm on the blower to the cops".

People can buy each other gifts. However, in cases of dispute, the gift would be returned to the person who bought it. Christmas is back on.

Does that offend your sense of justice?

One more question first, if that's OK.

Does the same apply to money also?

Not whilst we sit on our asses and just type about it on Twitter....

Re: Will there ever be a revolution in England ?

We've had this thread very very recently, shouldn't be too hard to find. It had 'revolt' in the title. The general consensus was no.

 

[Laurent Charvet]

In a word. No. In the grand scheme of things... it could be so much worse.
