George Galloway was right last time now he's making sense again!

Any thinking person knows something is very very wrong with western politics but be prepared to be branded if you mention it!

Well that Galloway dude certainly believes in what he's saying unlike Dicaprio's long string of words delivered with no feeling at all.

Blastfemer, . . . . . . stone him he said that word that should remain unsaid

[Berries]

Believe it or not - yes

Nah, sorry. I find it hard to imagine what the difference would have been if Labour had won, other than a different group of people whining and a different smug git on TV.

Consider me stoned. Money is a pervasive (lovely word) substance. Shame there are so many that are addicted.

Mr wild-e-beast wet dream

The deregulation bill currently before westminster ,

Yes as was said . HIDDEN in the bill was Clause 83

Snip
Exercise of regulatory functions: economic growth
(1) A person exercising a regulatory function to which this section applies must,
in the exercise of the function, have
regard to the desirability of promoting
economic growth.
(2) In performing the duty under subsection (1), the person must, in particular,
consider the importance for the promotion of economic growth of exercising
the regulatory function in
a way which ensures that—
(a) regulatory action is taken only when it is needed, and
(b) any action taken is proportionate


They even repealed the pit pony regulation of 1956

Coal and Other Mines (Horses) Order (S.I. 1956/1777)
38 The Coal and Other Mines (Horses) Order 1956 is revoked

Damn them........

Damn scottish people


If an offence under this Act is committed by
a Scottish partnership
and is proved to have been committed with the consent or
connivance of, or to be attributable to any neglect on the part of—

As for profit sharing ......forgive me sir for I have sinned


Mining Industry Act 1926 (c. 28)
6 (1) In the Mining Industry Act 1926, om
it section 20 (which confers power on
coal-mining companies to establish profit sharing schemes irrespective of
the terms of their articles of association).

money..................................

moneys not the problem silly , it's our own humanity

[oldrider]

moneys not the problem silly , it's our own humanity

Not so much "money in its self" but the way that the money "system" is controlled and manipulated for ill gotten power and control!

Corruption is the problem!

Agreed, the manipulation of the monetary system is a result of the flaws in our own humanity! ... True!

Easy to change and correct all that is missing is the political will to do it!

Money drives the behaviour that gives us the society that we have. The financial economy constrains innovation and enables resource wastage at a frightening rate coz consumerism. Remove the money and our behaviour will change. Our humanity will be given a chance to flourish.

It is the money . Wherever there is money there will be influence and people who are willing to be influenced. You can print it with zero interest, but it will exist and it will be up for grabs.

Corruption is financially driven behaviour. There is no other reward.

Addiction... which manifests itself as corruption

What's missing is a goal.

yes removing money would change our behaviour, but I would not use the word "flourish" well at the start anyways, from there who knows?

I completely agree with you. The timespan to flourish is relative, as you allude to, but on day 1 there's no poverty. So that'll be fed kids in schools and less stress in households off the bat. I'd call that flourishing... I'm easy to please

Yeah we kind of on same wave, sort of.
School are run and maintained by the money system, what makes you think they will remain or in what form when the money is gone?
Anyways it's the parents responsibility to feed their kids.
My bro in law was brought up in "child poverty" and it was not from a lack of money.

Aye, schools, the schooling system, the age at which a child goes to/finishes school, uni etc... all how we wish it to be run and not suffocated by budget constraint. If, for arguments sake, there is no financial system, that also means that there are going to be one hell of a lot of unemployed people. Wonder how many would train to become teachers? so that the classrooms could have more resources.
It is the parents responsibility, but as you mention, that responsibility isn't always fulfilled for one reason or another. I'd like to see breakfast served at schools. Then at least you KNOW that they'd be fed.
Aye, it ain't always money, hence feeding them at school (should they require it) as a catch all. That the primary caregiver fails in their duty should not be allowed to be an acceptable reason for their to be starving children.
