I'd want him at the top of government, but he cannot negotiate a free trade agreement with the EU having called them Nazis. <br /><br />of those whose left, for Liam Fox Google Adam Werritty. Stephen Crabb is a god-botherer whose record of voting against gay marriage will forever be held against him. So for me, I reluctantly am hoping Andrea Leadsom wins.<br /><br />but realistically it will be Theresa May, and that's where the libertarian right parts company with the Conservative Party, especially while the Labour Party being a Trotskyite protest group that is purging "Zios who collaborate with right wing press".<br /><br />Libertyscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741049550997300680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-460346928507239502016-07-01T22:24:19.873+12:002016-07-01T22:24:19.873+12:00“…and as long as the condition of the ‘working cla...<i>“…and as long as the condition of the ‘working class’ is improving, we should not care so much about income inequality.”</i><br /><br />No - whether or not the condition of the 'working class' is improving, we should not care.

You are a child from a poor family, not just their income, your parents are, not so bright. Mother is only sometimes able to give you time, and your Dad, well he is often away, and you can’t understand your new chemistry assignment . <br />The kid next door helps you out with that Chemistry assignment. He is a good friend, He flies through school with B+ grades, goes on great holidays with his rich parents and to boot it all he’s straight out nice, and good looking. <br />By the time you are married with your first kid, that neighbour, he now lives in Brisbane as the CEO of a major company. He’s still nice, and he’s still good looking, and his wife is a knock out. He’s rich too. Massive salary, and his Dad gave him heaps. His sister is something also, but she doesn’t like you too much. Not enough to bang anyway. <br />Its OK though, you have the brains to see that this is reality, and you are not bad looking yourself. Yes, that is the way it is. You realize that you can not manipulate natural things..<br /><br /> I sent a similar story to Andrew Little and Farrar. There is no equality at birth, nor equality of opportunity. SJW’s think of the blank slate. There is no blank slate. You come in here loaded with genotype, and environment. I went over to the Spin Off to lecture Geoffrey Palmer, started reading his gobbledygook, and I felt crook. Panadol didn't work He says he used to be Prime Minister for a few hours. Irrelevant. He poisoned the New Zealand Economy with the RMA. He made every entrepreneur in the country less equal.<br />paul scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675247055484136242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-59771053826518795072016-07-01T13:54:52.782+12:002016-07-01T13:54:52.782+12:00Now everyone wants out.
