    i don't know why people can't accept that the rich will have a nice decent christmas with all the trimmings and presents (although whether they are truly happy is another story) and the poor can't have the same. Just because wayne and coleen have it, and they are chavs, doesn't mean all chavs can have it, because most chavs don't earn 100k plus a week.

    If you can't afford something, don't get it. tell your kids, they can't have something. It won't kill them.

    I hate all these people that expect to be able to afford a house, a car, holidays, everything they want, when they only earn 20k a year or whatever.

    Wake up and smell the coffee. The poor should live like the poor and the rich like the rich.

    The best thing they could do in this country is ban loans and credit cards for those earning under 50k a year.

    There will be some initial pain, but after 10 years or so, we will all be better off.

    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
