A verbatim quote from an advert* for a "Socialist Society" seen on a university notice board:
"Where is your free market now?"
Erm, buried underneath a great big fat mount of your pointless state intervention, mate. And even before the economy crashed, there was no such thing as a free market. In this country, and in other Western democracies, the market is not free; we have a mixed economy. And the state intervention inherent in that mixed economy did nothing to prevent the crash; in fact, you could argue that it did a great deal to exacerbate the crash when it came.

Still, don't let little things like facts fuck up your mindless, cliched slogan, eh?

*Handwritten in felt-tip pen. No, really. And there was another advert proclaiming "Whose driving climate change?" Who ever said socialists were stupid?

That's a mild response to the prat.
