2. Can you name which country comunism has been tried in. I think you will find no country has yet applied comunism. Just because they say they are comunist does not mean they are. You say you produce content and websites people want to join, but your the only one who does think that.

So let's drop a system that works, all be it not perfectly, to try a system that has never worked and when tried reverted away from the principles of Communism. And if millions die through it no working who cares. Like I said, trying to be stupid.

3. Yes, its not free in the sense its not paid for. But its free in that it does not matter if your rich or poor, you still access it equally.

Which is great for those like you not paying for it. But for me if I lived in the UK I would have to pay your contribution. What's a parasite? Something that lives off something else.

4. You say 80% will get well paid jobs. Where is your evidence? Many will be lucky to work in the local bugar bar with the economy as it is. Also why have you turned education into a product? A degree was never a product, it was a means to improve the mind.

Wrong. Most will end up in well paid jobs. A few fools who take dumb degrees like Business Management might end up flipping burgers. Or living off the State like you do. Anyway no Government would get elected on a platform of INCREASING TAXES.

By the way Paul, have you not heard of the great people in the UK. Did you know that the chololatear rowntrees macintosh built ho,mes for his staff, and even a pub (he himself did not belive in the drink).
Do you not understand Paul that not everyone belives in greed likew you clearly do.
Do you realy belive that greed is good, only the rich can offord things, let the poor suffer, pollute the planet, rob earth of its resorses. You probably think its ok for animals to die out. Just as long as your ok.
By the way Paul did I get it wrong, but I thought you boasted that you had your cancer treatment on the nhs or its equilivant. And you boasted that you got a disability allowance? So why is it ok for you to take but not others?

No I don't believe in greed and do think those who are under privileged or handicapped, old or for many reasons should be looked after by the masses. But there's a balance and in the UK the balance was tipped over.
The cost of the State was too high and eventually it brought the UK close to bankruptcy. The problem was too much being spent by the State and not enough being collected in taxes.
Look at Greece, Ireland, Spain and Portugal for examples of what can go wrong when a State spends too much and collects too little.
As for students. I think further education should be free or a small cost for UK citizens. The problem was Blair decided to swell the ranks of student beyond what the State could afford. Free State further education should be available for the top tier. The rest can pay for it or go get a job. Not a perfect system but better than the one you have now.
As for my State paid invalid benefit and medical treatment. It wasn't free to me. I paid for it over the last 45 years of working and paying taxes. It's only free for those who don't pay into the system. Like you.
