South Africa's South Africans were clearly too good for England's
South Africans.

Some hundred thousands people saw it....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOg4fAX8jc4
Were they all having an illusion ?
If you manage to love those who want to harm you, then you will gain
something beyond any imagination.
Anything opposing to the above is at least suspicious (don't you agree
with that, deep in your soul?)
Keep you eyes open, for the things to come... and do not be afraid,
because your soul is untouchable.
Do not care about your mortal body. After all, it is just a matter of
time to disintegrate.
No fear, my sisters and brothers.

Ever since MacMillan made his fatuous remark "You've never had it so
good" British governments have peddled the lie that people are generally
getting wealthier and wealthier. To this lie was added the lie of the
"trickle down" effect to justify the immoral and reckless selfishness of
Thatcherism.
The truth is that most people today are worse off in the most
fundamental way, namely, they cannot afford to marry and bring up a
family on a single income. 50 years ago the ordinary man could raise a
family on his income alone.
As for trickle down, it simply hasn't happened. Most people have no
significant savings. Most people do not own their property outright.
Those not on the property ladder already have no chance of getting on it
if they are earning the average wage. As the first story shows,
millions are living on very low incomes indeed. To the pensioners can be
added those on below average wages who do not have recourse to tax
credits and those surviving on benefits. Probably a third of the
population live below the poverty line and many others have a pretty
strapped existence.

Note: The world needs to look again at copyright for three reasons.
First, is it reasonable for the state to give a privilege to one class
of people, namely, those who create media, which allows members of that
class to gain financial benefit for vast periods of time - 70 years at
least in most of the developed world? Someone who invents something will
not get patent protection for anything like that period of time if they
can get it at all because of the cost. More broadly, most things which
are produced for sale, whether goods or services, enjoy no protection at
all.
There is no reason to believe the existence of copyright would suppress
the flow of writing for publication because before there was a powerful
law of copyright in Britain people were just as anxious to write for
publication and even today international copyright protection is very
patchy and people still write. There is also the fact that vast numbers
of people write for nothing for publication on the Internet or for small
scale publications. Why should those who currently gain from copyright
not simply get, as authors once did, a set fee for their work and/or a
percentage of sales made by their publisher? Why should they be put in
a privileged position as they are now?

Per capita funding for 2007-8
Scotland £5,676
N Ireland £5,684
Wales £5,050
England £4,523
Average English subsidy of each Celt £5,470
Source: Institute for Policy Research - reported in Daily Telegraph 10 7
2008
Reduce the Celts funding to English levels and £15bn is saved. However,
even if that was done the English would still be subsiding the Celts
because the tax take per capita is much lower in the Celtic Fringe than
it is in England. Probably another £15bn of English money would be
saved if each of the Home Countries were fiscally independent.

....so that will be psychologically flawed on a grand scale, autistic,
paranoid, violent towards everyone he perceives as weaker than him -
men, women and children - a male chauvinist par excellence, cruel to
animals and prone to the drink .....
What children the Scotch are...... It also says a good deal about Scotch
education that the man has patently not read the book. RH
