It’s not really a debate though is it? You believe the model you are referring to is without flaw. Your dismissal of ‘anecdotal data’ means that you won’t change your mind either. Some countries have moved beyond assessing a countries ‘success’ based on financial metrics alone. I believe this...

He’s liking hard.... maybe me Brighton and Tony are going to have to step our game up.

Firstly it’s one dimensional - and I don’t believe it should be used as a single measure to decide on inequality. Secondly, as Dreamer said - it can be skewed by extremes at either end - even during the Cov-ID crisis we are hearing about the vast increase in personal wealth for some people - no...

There is no such thing as Corbynomics - just a nonsense phrase made up by people like you to discredit a different way of financial thinking without having to do any critical analysis.

I have - I don’t agree with trench’s assertion that communism and socialism are the same thing. He won’t change his opinion and neither will I. Nor do I agree with his assertion on the measure of inequality - but again neither of us will be changing our opinions anytime soon.

Run by clowns?

As a mathematician I’m well aware of the manipulation of statistics to say pretty much anything you want it to.

You don’t need my definition to answer the question - you are just deflecting as per usual.

The universally accepted way by capitalists.

The Irony....

So you think the Tories have reduced inequality? Based on what measure?

Don’t over complicate it. The Tories entered parliament after successfully convincing the public that the global financial crisis was the fault of Labour (which it wasn’t - even the Tory chancellor said as much). They then implemented years of austerity. So after that how did they improve the...

Explain how the Conservatives have improved the national financial position between 2010 and 2020 prior to the lockdown then?

What are you waiting for? To deflect the argument away when it becomes too big for you?

Another lazy comment - Labour were rejected because of their ludicrous Brexit stance. And let’s be honest, however you might want to badge it up, Labour offered socialism - not Marxism. Comparable policy and strategy would sit firmly in the centre ground in most well-rounded countries. The...

With respect - the Marxist grab for power comment is lazy - maybe we should think about why people believe that it could be an alternative to our capitalist way of life? I’ve recently been watching some documentaries on Netflix about Vietnam (the wife teaches history) and I was taken aback how...

The people that were supposedly ‘Churchill supporters’ are hardly demonstrating this in practice with their Nazi salutes, racist songs and chants and the desecration of memorials of heroes.

Not sure how the relevance of the link matters. This happened today in London

Except you aren’t capable of doing it unless you get to piss on the memorials of dead police officers and do Nazi salutes. Dribbling mongs the lot of them.

Errr.... pretty sure it was just the far right nutters pissing on memorials and doing Nazi salutes. Yet you’ll still deflect and defend.
