The terms left and right wing have changed their meanings. 

The first time I heard those terms expressed would be in the late 1960s. when left wing observed that workers created all the wealth but never got rich themselves, whilst the rich never created any wealth. They sought through one means and another to give more of the wealth to the people who created it. The right wing opposed this by resisting better conditions for workers.

Now society has changed, we still have rich and we still have poor, but those who work for a living now have more reasonable hours, holidays, some spare money. The right wing now defend that whilst the left want to take it away and give it to people who don't earn it.

What beats me is so much of what we consume in Britain is made abroad and shipped here in foreign built ships with foreign crews. Even the capitalists are Chinese now We're not creating wealth by mining, fishing and manufacturing as we did in the 1960s, and the government is 3 trillion + in debt.

To quote an unforgettable movie, whose name I cannot recall,
"Conservatives believe in the exploitation of man by man, whilst socialists believe in the exact opposite."

This would be a good place to put illegal immigrants.

Quote from: Ruthio on Yesterday at 10:16:54 AMGreat replies, keep them coming!

Muddy we speak a different language....see below

It really is a case of 'life is what you make of it' isn't it, but only for those of us lucky enough to have choices.

For myself I prefer not to give personal details out, but I look to forums for escape and entertainment, one soon learns which threads to avoid if you already have a level of stress and anxiety in your life to overcome each day.
One thing I have learned and that is this: when you're single again after many years of being a couple you speak a different language from those who have a living partner, the 'aloneness' dictates your life and actions.

Phew, that's quite enough philosophy for today, I have many many blessings, sun's out and I'm fortunate enough to have daughter and partner staying so were off out, no idea where!!

Escape and entertainment are good Ruthio .
But interesting thought provoking threads are good too.
Got to keep the old grey cells working !
It's true that we don't know the stresses and worries of everyone who posts .
Most people try to put their best foot forward as it were .
There are enough threads to suit every taste .
What is needed is more people
Maybe forums are going out of fashion ?

Got to call a plumber .
My shower is running luke warm .
Fine for Mr M but I like a hot shower .

In theory I am not against the NHC .
Although every year is a bit much to stump up for policing when the country is going broke .

But it ( like crop over in the carribean ) has degenerated
It's not exactly family friendly

Who would want children to see half naked people twerking in the streets ?
What about "public decency ' ?
And this goes for the disgusting 'pride ' parades too .

I don't know we have one lot of people in the country doing this sort of thing and another lot dressed up as the grim reaper .

It's certainly diverse .

I was asked to to it and can't refuse but just can't get my mojo together at all .

An illegal is not necessarily a matter of skin colour .

Pakistan has just deported millions of illegal migrants back to Afghanistan .

They are all the same colour

Yet won't take one convicted rapist  back from the U.K.

Good morning all.  
Bright and sunny here,  a good washing day by the looks of it.

Nothing much planned, other than some paperwork,  hoovering, and waiting for the chap over the road to come and and look at a bit of guttering over the bay window that looks a bit dodgy.

Have a good day all.
