Yup, whilst we just take whatever is thrown at us, though I think that Brexit could be an exception whichever way it goes.

This my learned friends is yet another example of why socialism doesn’t work. It’s great on paper, but when people realise that they have to pay for it, the concept of the haves and have nots all living together in harmony goes out the Effin window.
Suddenly it’s “ why am I paying for you?”
Politics can’t trump human nature.

Yep, humans are very selfish creatures, until whatever they want to be cut to lower their taxes affects them personally. Then it's different all of a sudden. I've seen this happen so many times in life.
