Champagne socialists

[EddieM]

So in short no you can't

But can I ask you...

How many Scandinavian countries have you worked in?

One, why?

 

[SirGalahad]

You would expect a socialist to be somebody who is working class. Not one living the high life

Can you tell me your definition of socialism?

 

[ellal]

One, why?

Two less than me then

 

[EddieM]

Two less than me then

And very nice countries they are too, I'm not knocking them, but they do have a problem, as we do, with youthful laziness. I blame a huge sovereign wealth fund, nice if you have it, but in some respects it's hurting Norway.

You have no idea of the reality...

All Scandinavian countries bar one have a longer working week, higher productivity and lower youth unemployment than the UK...

I do wonder what you are basing your assumptions on...

Because it certainly isn't the facts!

How is the SWF hurting Norway?

Large rises in long term sick. Still they can afford it.

You consider a country that looks after its sick as something wrong.

Not at all, but why the surge in long term sick? suspicious.
