Should Boris Resign?

"To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less"


Oscar Wilde

The last man one would take parental or financial advice from. Do you know nothing of Oscar Wilde? One of those great men who chose to have kids without fully thinking it through and couldn't save a penny despite earning more than most.

Quick with an epigram, short with personal responsibility.

He is your hero not mine and it is not parental or financial advise. That you would seek to reduce it to such, shows how little humanity you possess.

No, it doesn't show anything about my humanity. My point being that in some ways my own father was akin to Wilde minus the beer belly and thesaurus. Poverty was chosen in both cases. A common story just on a less dramatic scale in our case.

Even post prison Wilde had money mainly through the charity of friends, but spent it as fast as he could find it. He chose and wouldn't change.

So free meals is multi generational in your household. Would never have guessed.

What a snide and presumptuous little bastard you are. We paid for both of our children's meals and yet here you are casting judgement in a pandemic for fuck sake on someone whose situation you know nothing about.

I have been honest by saying poor decisions led to free school meals. I am only here because you couldn't help mentioning me following a post in which Primo made valid observations too. I got off of them by getting my first job at 14 and using the money to escape the shame. A good feeling to use your own money to buy your own food. Even kids can do it, so for these adults to fail so badly. And your family too and the great Professor and the cult? Crikey.

You both always paid? Lovely. A good thing I believe everything you say.

My cat will never go hungry. The chubby little minx. One knows where to draw the line.
