As someone in the comments pointed out, this is like a Daily Mash pastiche of a Guardian article. Only it's real. Still, top marks for this person only taking 10 years to work out that they really, really hate rich people so much they can no longer bear to accept their money.


Most telling line: "Yet in a society plagued by the disease of aspiration...". As Catherine Tate put it, how *very* dare they.


Funniest line: "an already unequal form of education plunges into something that would make the feudal system look like the dictatorship of the proletariat." Monty Python couldn't have put it better.


Anyway, a tour-de-force of left-wing stupidity.

The comments section (surpringly nailed it). The person who said that the aspiration as diseease comment was a reflection of the "no your place" mentality in Britain was spot on. I've seen it first hand and its one of the only things I dislike about this (my adopted) country.

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
    • Perry Bamonte from The Cure.. Just 65 years old.
