Spending lots and lots of money isn't leftism.

This is coming from a leftist.

Irrelevant. Spending money isn't what the left wing's about. It's more about feeding the poor, helping the economically disadvantaged, healing the sick, and civil rights.

You're getting the far left and the Liberal/Mainstream left mixed up. As a Liberal I can assure you spending money is a big part of our ideology, it's not all my ideology is about, but it's a big part. That's obviously opposed to the far left who want to get rid of money all together.

Yes it is about those things, and we achieve them through spending generally.

Shall we bring this to the communism thread? Can you reply to my edited one there? We're getting a bit off topic.

Did you ever have such an accent yourself or have you always been so refined?

Well I presumably had something of an Orcadian accent way back (nothing on film, they still reckon cameras steal a part of the soul, kin? etc. up that way) and still get a massive west coast of Scotland type accent thing if pissed or anxious (this is fairly inexplicable, seeing as I've barely spent any time there) but yeah since coming to England it's always been 'refined' (i.e. deliberately unclear).

Living in proximity to shitloads of burial mounds and such is bound to make people head this way I suppose. On the bright side at least they're not the Lewis type of crazy.

At the risk of insulting your current accent, that's a shame :p

I think it's the weather more than anything else. Can't really sleep for 3 months in summer, can't really wake up for 3 months in winter. That and the constant risk of Norwegians showing up with their longboats and the like.

I think that'll give me a fit if I stare at it too long.

Maybe it's an attempt to take over my brain so I can become an English sleeper agent or something...

Voted LibDem, only for the majority of them to be stabbed in the back by their own leadership.
