I think the point was that terraces and Escorts are the BEST people
can do under socialism. When the 'conservatives' [capitalists] are in
charge, terraces and escorts are the WORST they can do. |

I bet that looks pretty good to somebody living in a corrugated iron shed
surrounded by sewage, using their rusty old three wheeled bike to go round
15 hours a day to collect recyclable rubbbish in the pouring Philippines
typhoons.

I've lived through 4 recessions. 2 were under the conservatives.
1 was under New Labour, (which is not technically a socialist
party , although you will no doubt ignore that), and one straddled
several governments. My earnings were at their highest in the late
90's under New Labour. |

Sorry if I'm being ignorant, but isn't GB the *least* Euro-socialist
country in Euro-land?
Why are people not comparing the US to Denmark, for example?

Yes, in many ways it's mid-atlantic.
But how are people going to notice that when they
can't tell the difference between centrism and marxism? |

That'll look pretty smart when fuel is $10/gallon in a couple of
years.

What about Sweden (a mixed socialist/capitalist economy) then where
they drive Volvos and SAABs and live in luxurious suburbs?
The worst that people can do under any system is be homeless and only
have their feet for transport |

Yes! It's amazing that people want to use poverty for their own
agendas.
The 5 biggest reasons for homelessness are
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness
Substance abuse
Mental illness, where mental health services are unavailable or
difficult to access.
Unavailability of employment opportunities.
Poverty, caused by many factors including unemployment and
underemployment.
Lack of affordable healthcare.
As if substance abuse and mental illness dissappear when the
government of the day changes? The global recession is currently the
cause of the next two and the lack of affordable healthcare in the US
is due to spite, squabbling and refusal to contribute towards it from
the "I'me OK Jack!" brigade. |

No. Surpluses, stability, peace, and life savings vanish when
Conservatives get in. |
