    I am a human being and referring to me as "this one" is a very pathetic attempt at de-huanisation which reflects n your lack of manners. Now you raised the issue of not watching TV, going to movies etc, so I asked what you do. If you raise the issue don't expect us not to follow up.

    Boo hoo. Jack raised this topic of what he doesn't do in his free time, so i asked him what he does do. If it were irrelevant he should not be the one to raise it.

    Jack you raised the issue here. Why, if you did not expect a follow up?If it is being ruined it is because you changed the topic and started discussing preferences for leisure time, not me.

    What you are not seeing is that government created these problems in the first place by taking over a market segment to create monetary instruments that should be left to the free market. Successive governments have built upon these free-market in-roads by politicians seeking votes thus intermingling the free-market with political ambition. This is the problem with Socialist policies that seek to make everyone 'equal' while reserving the real power to the elites that are assigned to distribute the wealth.

    Mitigation against extreme market outcomes is only needed because of government intervention into the free market. You see...Government does not produce anything or make a profit therefrom. Therefore, government gets $$$$ from taxing The People for what it advertises as needed services. The more needy a government institution is, the more tax $$$$ it gets. This causes government to constantly create need in order for it to survive.

    Let's just ignore her then.

    Now.

    In the OP, it mentions two e mails.

    Does it strike you someone could have acted sooner?

    Of course someone could have, but who expects a person to set themself alight?

    No one can account for another person's suicidal tendencies.

    Many of the posts in this thread are off topic. Perhaps all involved should like to return to the intended discussion.

    Thank you kindly

    Misanthropy promoted among us, greed passed off as good and productive, liars, murderers,and child rapists getting peerage, men of war getting peace prizes, a people taught to hate on the less fortunate, while revering ********s like Beyonce, or Rhianna, companies that bleed us, then con us, then pass all taxation on to the small/med business owner and us, filth on our airwaves, passed off as 'music', that glorifies, openly, the rape of women, and shootings, and black gang culture.

    Corporate dominion over media, and their never ending lies, and false realities.

    All of it. It is not nature like air, it does not NEED to be. It is a virus. It is the duty of every man, to do what he can to eliminate this virus, not for his own selfish ends, since he will not live to personally see the fruits of his labour, but for the next generation, and those to come. Purge it all. Get rid of it all, and undermine it by all means. Use our collective boot to crush it as one would a tic, clean out the wound, and carry on. In time we will heal, and the future will look back and thanks us, as they watch other nations go down the pan entirely.

    It is up to each of you if you care, and it does not matter to those that do not.

    But those that do, you have today a fine, and the best means of doing this ever, crush it, purge it, and on the festering puke of their vice ridden society, we will create a new civilisation, free of this filth, lies, criminality, etc.

    You are right to say governments' do intervene in the market to create demand in the economy and, historically, that is one of their fundamental roles. It benefits wider society which explains why politicians who advocate for such an approach have repeatedly got re-elected. So its a mutually beneficial situation. Demand-led approaches create employment thus improving the supply side which in turn creates a snowball effect. This is basically what Keynesianism and the post-war consensus was about. The post war UN Declaration Of Human Rights codified this approach.

    The essence was the eradication of poverty, the aspiration towards full employment, affordable housing and free at the point of delivery health care for all. The wealthy still remain extremely wealthy as opposed to being super-rich, while the working class and poor garner a fairer distribution of the wealth created. Everybody's happy.

    People in general have higher disposable income with which to spend on consumerables and income inequality is reduced thus creating more equittable and cohesive societies. The danger is rising inflation.

    This is what happened in the early 70s when stagflation hit - high inflation accompanying low growth. Its about getting the balance right between capital and labour. At the moment to balance is heavily skewed in favour of the former.

    The current paradigm is not sustainable and if we continue on this path we will witness social breakdown and chaos and a return to Dickensian squalor.

    Well then??? Go on. Is it a fair and reasonable calculation to make that the answer to your question....who expects a person to set themself alight? ...maybe be ...the person that got the two e mails saying 'Hello, I am going to set myself alight'.

    Anyone that has not either be born twisted, or become twisted.

    And there seems to be a lot of born twisted, or bad blood, or something, these days.
