In the news

I'm Polish and I see myself as a quarter Jew, quarter Belgian, quarter German and quarter Italian who had a pleasure of fucking being born under a communist regime in some God's forgotten country of catholics and homophones, issued with a worthless passport which didn't allow me to go where the lager was sold in tins, while all my grandparents' siblings on both sides either live in the States and Canada or in Germany.

Standard tax response:
Everyone wants Scandanavian society on USA levels of taxation.

Homophones? They sounded like something else?

No, they're in the kitchen trying to sell us stuff. You're so fucking detached, you know nothing. This is real. This is not some people from the telly.
You think it will just fizzle out and you will be back on your fucking little bike riding around in sunshine while spreading your ill-concieved pseudo-revolutionary pseudo-socialst preachings? These people don't care about you and your ideology. They will hustle as usual. Just being bit more bold knowing, that the law can do fuck all.

Really or is this all for affect?

Why haven't you grassed them up to the police or are you in on it.

Why have you let them into your flat if you hate them so much.

You have some very strange contradicting views.

Or is it that you are a useless lying cunt?

I distinctly remember people baying for banker blood a couple of years ago (and still probably to this day). No difference.. except maybe the bankers didn't set fire to any cars?

Oh, that's okay then. The world recession isn't that big of a deal anyway.

Hey man, we let you in for free these days.. for 3 months. But you wouldn't want to drink our piss lager.

Poland used to be the opposite in the 80s.

We're ok! Fuck the rest of them.

but if you asked people here to pay more tax for a better quality society, the attitude would be gtfo

I don't.

I'm quite happy to pay, hell I even registered Buro 9 and started the company to pay tax, so that it was all above board contributing back.

But then, I spent a few years in Sweden and my view on taxation and society is that you get what you give, or rather, you get what you pay for (in taxes, time and investment into people).

I'm actually happy to pay. I don't necessarily agree with how it's spent or the policies, but hey... they're the elected representatives and if this is what the people want then I'm happy to make my contribution.

Of course, that raises wider political questions about whether this is what the people want, but that's irrelevant to my belief that if you want a decent society that cares and protects, then you need to pay for it.

Do you have an ISA? That's tax avoidance...

Whatever sticks in the ass of people like you up to the "highest" level of this hypocritical rotten society will be enough to give me joy, even if I don't know and I don't get anything.

I don't have a telly, btw.

Yup, white collar were I to have a job. But it's a bit simpler in Canada. There is white and blue collar in terms of "class" (as it would be understood here) and then lower/middle/upper just refers to your salary. So it's possible to have an upper-class blue collar worker (someone who owns a junk yard, let's say).

What would you define yourself as?

You have some very strange contradicting views.

Don't we all?

Oh, that's okay then. The world recession isn't that big of a deal anyway.

We've done this.

Yes, bankers fucked it.
Yes, real estate agents fucked it.
Yes, you and I and every other fuckwit out there taking loans we could never repay fucked it.

A large part of the reason for the GTFO part would be that we would not believe the "better society" part though.

From riots and some sensible posting to self definition of class. I preferred it when we were all scared our endz was gonna get blitzed.

I'm not sure you know what you're talking about and also you don't know what "people like you" means. You have loads of growing up to do.

only just started paying off my student loan. From '96.

I don't have a telly, btw.

you want one?

It's a bit of a distraction, but interesting I think in it's own way.

Boring...

Watching a primary school worker leaving court on BBC news. Their listing loads of people from all different backgrounds.
