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.

Erm, there's no real comment policy other than "don't libel anyone" and "don't use the comment section to try to sell your products". If you do either, I will delete the comments without warning. Otherwise, you can pretty much write what you want.
