Can I assume this sort of thing is up your street? http://www.radioreverb.com/shows/Frockabilly

You must have a guilty conscience. It was actually a response to abc's post (post 94), which I arsed up in the 'Quote' thingy.

I hope it's not just me that can't make any sense of that post. Certainly not as an answer to the question.

Thanks for speaking on behalf of so many people. The doubt, however, is your concern. You could directly ask people rather than make your point by assumption.

That's the the second time you've mentioned hypocrisy. Can you tell us where the hypocrisy is or do you really believe socialists can't be on a good salary?

Very well. Could you explain what you mean by the utterly moronic phrase - 'Champagne Socialist'? How does it have any value and purpose as - in your case - its intention as an insult?

'Playing the system'? 'Socialist buddies?' 'Left-wing hand-wringing'? What are you on about? It's because he doesn't adhere to your own made-up, self-perpetuated rules that he's corrupt. It's just white noise from you.

... and become an accessory to capitalist considerations? If his politics won the day, there wouldn't be market forces driving housing necessity creating a financial bubble - there would be housing for all. You think he should move because of your narrow-minded attitudes to commerce -...

So he should buy a house, or move his family into the private rented sector just because he has a six-figure salary? You'd be the first to grizzle that he'd abandoned his working-class roots if he did that.
