    Are there hoards of the unemployed frantically generating these sock puppets, to keep up with unexpected demand?

    Is this the PM's miracle vision for the manufacturing industry?

    Won't someone think of the uses this wool could be put to for the good of mankind, and stop puppetry in its, erm..., tracks?

    The germ of your original comment was that, under the present government, you have managed to acquire quite considerable wealth. Worse (from a socialist perspective) you have done so from property speculation. Did you, along with so many members of the Cabinet, by some chance miss the memo advising that unearned income is the product of 'wicked capitalism' and that owning more than one property is tantamount to theft, because it boosts prices and thus deprives the needy?

    I think the fashionable phrase is, 'you're 'avin' a larf' .

    Not defending the OP but you need to look at the system, guzumping HIPS and all the rest of it. Plenty of people own more than 1 property not out of choice, but because to go for the place they didn't live in, the choice was either not sell the original place or risk being made homeless. Plenty of people would gladly sell their original home at the price they bought it for, not because of the recession or credit crunch but because they always would have.
    Boris Johnson voted against Brexit in the Commons, all to become leader of the Conservative Party. Fall for it and you deserve everything you get.

    Pickles you are the most pathetic, obvious and yet devious poster I've come across. Whoever impersonated you yesterday did it with a certain style and flair. Something you just don't have. To then start some sort of crusade by copying another poster endlessly - it's the same thing over and over again. Pointless.

    How about you try just once contributing something honest and decent to this forum?
    Thanx for the compliment, babe. I just wish I could be as honest as you.
    As soon as you stop hiding under you puppets i will join you.

    Oh dear there seems to be quite a lot of right wing reactionaries responding to this post.

    wow, paranoid annie, me old bean, came back!
    Been doing much benevolent socialism lately? :rotfl::p

    Yes, I have really profited from labour too. I haven't had to work in ten years, yet I earn about 30k in benefits every year. Its class. I put in a whiplash claim so I could get deposit to buy my council house for 13 grand, sold it in 2007 for 120 grand, banked the money as I now live in a social housing new build. I pay £30 per month, but the houses around me sold to private buyers for about £500 grand. Through my 'bad back' from whiplash I get all the disability allowance and a free car and all that, plus with me six kids, i've never personally had to work to buy them their Nike Air Maxis and Wii fits. Me £30 a month gym membership is free too as I am 'obese'.

    Aye, life under labour is sweet.
    I'll have some cheese please, bob.
