our kids, our future

Capitalism is very flawed, very imperfect but when compared to all of the alternatives its not so bad. As Winston Churchill pointed out
" Capitalism is the unequal sharing of wealth, but socialism is only the equal sharing of misery."

Labourism, Socialism, Trotskyism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Marxism, Communism regardless of how its dressed it IT NEVER WORKS, it will never work.

As for kids, if people cannot afford to feed em, cloth em, house em, entertain them, socialise them and take care of them then they should not have them. And apart from the heart breaking instances of kiddies being orphaned the state should not be paying ANYTHING towards their upkeep. My spolit brat ( yes he is even if he is a lovely kid) is limited to the amount of time he can use his PC or Gaming machine, even his bloody I phone, if he does not do enrichment at school ( after school activities) walk the dog, tidy his room and treat his mum with respect, I turn off the Home Hub thus disconnecting him from his mates and I take his phone off him. Even at 16 if its a college day its lights out at 10.30 period.

I agree 100% with steve about how free market capitalism has been hijacked by speculators, mega companies, trade union thugs and federalists in Europe.

WHAT IS THIS EFFING NONSENSE BEING SPOUTED ON SKY THIS MORNING ABOUT IMMIGRATION BEING NEEDED FOR THE ECONOMY ???
FFS We don't NEED immigrants, we need OUR youngsters, students, graduates, kids etc to be educated , trained up and given a chance to thrive, instead of the bastard short sighted immediate needs of a London Centric economy that avoids its moral obligations to build up its experts and employees from the massive pool of young Brits, instead simply cherry picking the best of the workers from abroad, who not only take our kids careers, but take the houses, school places etc. The effing useless Lib Lab Con establishment is failing OUR workers, OUR children because of short sightedness and a corrupt pro Europe political agenda.

Look I'm no genius nor are my kids, but they like your kids WANT to thrive and do well, so many of them try to get a university education. So most hard working parents have to bite the bullet to help part fund their childrens education. BUT traditionally and right up to only about ten years ago, your kids, my kids and everyone elses youngsters would take on part time jobs in Uni Towns like Durham, Leeds, Brum, Liverpool, London, Bristol etc . they would work evenings, nights, weekends, and school hols in shops, cafes, bars, clubs, fruit picking, chicken plucking, mail delivering, pizza shops, boutiques etc . That up to ten years ago was the norm in Durham and Teesside and Tyneside, I know because I spent a great deal of time doing work for the Unis then. BUT TODAY go to the bars, cafes shops etc in those towns and all the needed jobs for our kids have been taken by Poles, Latvians, Greeks, Portugese, Estonians etc. Which means many of OUR youngsters can not only no longer afford to go to Uni unless their paents will take on even more debt, BUT also all the "digs" that used to house the 2nd 3rd and 4th years students are now full of immigrant workers and asylum seekers.

WE DONT NEED IMMIGRATION WE NEED OPPOTUNITY FOR OUR KIDS.
