EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

I suppose that is a reasonable argument if you’re enough of a bellend to equate necessary shelter with an unnecessary hot drink.

Why don't we start monetising water and oxygen supply too? Lots of money to be made there. If people don't want to pay they just need to stop breathing.

People ignore the fact that Marx, prior to becoming an economist/philosopher, was a journalist and more interested in Greek classics than social revolution. He was radicalised when the Prussian government changed the law to criminalise the poor collecting dead firewood from the land (which they needed to survive) at the behest of landowners who had inherited or stolen the land in the first place, and he became witness to the fact that four fifths of the cases heard in court became concerned with fining or jailing them into servitude because of this.

This is a model of capitalism; take something essential to life and leverage every penny you can out of it to generate income for the minority that control the resources. Hardly equivalent to a lease contract for a coffee maker that comes with a service plan and creates extraneous goods at 1000% markup.

If you can't see the inherent evil in a system that demands people pay two thirds of their salary every month just to keep shelter over their heads (and lets not get into the quality of what they can expect for their money or the security they will enjoy there) then you need to have a fucking word with yourself.

Why stop with the housing sector? When I bought my skinny soy-decaf dry-latte this morning, most of what I paid actually went towards rental of the coffee machine. I'm outraged at this social injustice! We should ban private coffee shops immediately except for state owned coffee distribution!

For somebody who has been precious about the perceived insensitivity to the opinions of Brexiters (and, of course, to your own opinions, as demonstrated just above), you're surprisingly happy to be a flippant cock about other opinions expressed here.

A sharp tongue and a thin skin isn't a smart combination.
