Therefore, I'm off to buy a Lear jet on the Visa and wait for the inevitable governmental freecash.

I don't own a car, couldn't afford to run one anyway-Tax, insurance and petrol costs are way beyond me, I haven't ever been able to afford a holiday for my three girls in well over ten years, we don't have any mod-cons -no plasma T.V. no internet, no broadband, no sky T.V. no stereo system, no home cinema set-up, no home computer or laptop no huge American fridge. Hell, I can't even afford right now to have a home telephone because it's so expensive. My home isn't special, needs so much work doing to, that its not even funny. The cost of doing would take thousands of pounds that I don't have. I look at this world through envious eyes every single day and it does hurt. There is a plenty of money in this world and were I wish I could just compete for the sake of my family, others just seem to want more and more and forget what it is life is about for the likes of us. I guess that is either very good luck or greed. My missus faced a long long walk today with our kids in tow to get shopping as the bus fare is too high and we had a choice to make, dinner or transport. So don't feel an ounce of regret for these assholes in the power money corridors. They have all they could ever wish for. For me and my young family they simply will never know a life of comforts and luxury that some take for granted unless one day fortune smiles on us. I’m not a rich man.
