@Sojourned_ @DanielPriestley @garyseconomics I would rather have billions spent on building homes and hospitals etc than on ward for oil, power and profit. So Ok agree about waste in that sense

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@Sojourned_ @DanielPriestley @garyseconomics Do you want to live in a country that has good schools, hospitals and roads etc? If so, where should the money come from to find those things?

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@Sojourned_ @DanielPriestley @garyseconomics They may move (how patriotic!) but they can't take their properties with them. And life can't get much worse for those at the bottom. Let's try the wealth tax and see...

@NapierHolland That's not the reality for the vast majority of us from working class backgrounds. No matter how hard we work or how talented we are, structural forces keep us poor.

@DanNeidle @LeBus382684 @samuel_leeds Am I correct that you said the preface contradicts what's in the rest of the paper?

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@sharrond62 Ak much for "sisterhood", eh?

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@linmeitalks So supposedly, the forward contradicts what is stated elsewhere in the paper?

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@linmeitalks I think Paul O'Grady's views on her are worth reading!

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@Geordie_grandad @adhib @samuel_leeds @DanNeidle And that is why there was extreme poverty and hunger in Victorian times?

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@adhib @Sarah_zee123 @samuel_leeds @DanNeidle You mean all the nurses and doctors etc who work in the NHS to keto it going?

@drgerke1 Here's a passage from a https://t.co/EsZmWrP5Zm that written over 100 years ago

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@AaronBastani @PositivFuturist It's fascinating that we are often told that credentials are not as important as practical experience in relation to expertise. Gary came from poverty and made his wealth in the real world. So what if he doesn't have a PhD or peer review journal articles?

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@adhib @samuel_leeds @DanNeidle So if the size of the cake is growing why are more and more people homeless and relying on food banks to feed their families? Is it because trickle down economics doesn't work?

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@haringeter @samuel_leeds @DanNeidle Using immigrants as scapegoats for the UK's social and economic problems has always been the most effective divide and time tactic of political & economic elites. I have written about this https://t.co/EsZmWrP5Zm

@hoogilyboogily @samuel_leeds @DanNeidle in Nottingham, I see more and more desperate people living in shop doorways - I never saw it anywhere near as bad when I was growing up in the 80s. My parents both left school in the late 70s and managed to buy their council house despite leaving home with no qualifications...

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@Brasssneck @samuel_leeds @DanNeidle @Channel4 And take all the properties etc that they own with them?

[Dr Tony Shenton @DrTonyShenton]

@CharlieMunger00 @samuel_leeds @DanNeidle I think it was Adam Smith, in The Theory of Moral Sentiment, who stated the the greatest incentive is to be liked by others, rather than hoarding more wealth than you could spend in multiple life lifetimes?

@OliverKamm @ShipleyWrites Didn't you once write about a book about how to use the English language correctly that was torn apart by experts on the subject?
