Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really enjoyed reading your post, it was well written and well argued.
Here's where we fundamentally disagree. FoM isn't something that we have to sacrifice to make all of those priorities happen. It's actually the opposite. It fuels the economy. It lowers the risk of war. It has a massive positive influence on all of the things that you list.
You talk about it like it's some kind of vain indulgence that we should shake off in the pursuit of nobler goals. You've lost sight of the fact it actually makes all of us richer - culturally and financially. We gain nothing by ending it. It's destructive and only destructive.
I understand all of that, believe me, if FoM goes, my home goes, my job goes, my life goes. I have
nothing else. It is absolutely not a vain indulgence to me.
Apart from all that has already been said by
pancs and
NS, I understand, as a socialist and a human, that I don't always come first. I understand that if everything can't be perfect then sometimes, some people have to lose and it's better to lose FoM than lose it
and everything else and carry on bleeding to death under the fucking tories.
Try selling FoM at the moment to an electorate that have been groomed with years of propaganda like
this from that utter cunt, Arron Banks, and see what happens to your socialist nirvana. You'll lose FoM, the possibility of future FoM
and everything else. Not really what I'm hoping for if I'm honest.
