It's a good thing your post wasn't aimed at someone seeking moneysaving advice, I'd have been straight to admin if it was

What a saddo !!!

Join a Forum, and straight away start telling other posters what to do and say.

Then start the threats !!!!

Pathetic !!

Another keyboard warrior. Is this called moneysavingexpert.com or alreadyamemberforalongtime.com? This isn't a meaningless site - someone coming on here being hounded out can mean the difference between having a roof over their head or being out on the street, hence my reference to posts seeking money saving advice, you know, what these boards are actually for? I can handle it, but just because I can it doesn't mean I'm going to stand back when those less experienced with internet trolls than I am get bullied by cowards, capiche? (Not that I'm saying either you or cleaver come into that category, but there are others that do)

Sorry to butt in but are you a keyboard warrior too? Because you sound a bit like one. It's fun isn't it? Tbh I'm so lardy I can hardly get off my fat spotty behind to reach for the Rothman's, but on here I'm ready for anything.

Well... a bit of angry posting anyhoo. Bash away matey.

It's looking increasingly like the answer would be the public sector isn't it? The private sector can't even provide us with a functioning banking sysytem:rolleyes:

No one is saying that the private sector (capitalism) is perfect but its definitely better than socialism.

Funnily enough yesterday I was talking face to face with someone about this site. She was having a go about people on here who complain about a bank charging you for an account when it is made obvious all you need to do is set up a certain account to not be charged. I pointed out to her that not everyone who comes on here will know everything, and that if no-one who doesn't came on here, then they wouldn't learn anything - what at the end of the day this site is for.

Capitalism and Socialism are concepts. In practice all countries are mixed economies.
The question is; where along the mixed economy scale should the UK place itself?

I know we're supposed to be enemies and everything, but I love your username and I have imediate feelings of love towards anyone that uses the word 'capiche', both written and verbal.

Erm... I'll think of something sarcastic and nasty in the next 30 minutes and throw it at you. Just can't think of anything at the mo.

My answer to that is capitalist with a safety net and high spending on education (you have to have as equal opportunities as possible), smallish role for the state though.

That's a lie. I am sitting watching Nouriel Roubino (DR Doom) on Bloomberg right now - he said that the UK is fine and used the 40% figure which certainly does not make us the 2nd largest deficit. Why are you scaremongering?

He needs to start focusing more on getting man city out of the sh%t.
