Is anyone else uncomfortable that a £165k runaround is selling so well whilst homeless people freeze to death and so many people live in poverty and live such a terrible life?

As one of this forums 'marxist agitators' and a proponent of modern day socialist principles and a more inclusive society...no. Next question?

I'm not talking about communism. I'm talking about limiting excessive capitalism. I've got no problem with people earning money and buying what they want - to a limit. I'm talking about the greater sense of humanity. How the top x% have so much wealth but we still have so many people living in poor conditions. The fact that I have central heating is irrelevant and the sort of bs you get in tabloids - the whataboutery that deflects attention from the issue.

You seem to assume every homeless person got there through no fault of their own, yet think every rich person has screwed someone over and done it illegally.

The problem is you.

This!!!

What I'm saying is true then. Thanks for the confirmation.

Keep on trollin' sweety.

When can we expect your next change of username?

How exactly am I trolling? Dont know if you've noticed but you're the troll here.

Rifling through my profile to dig up dirt...how painfully sad and even more embarrassing...you dont help yourself, do you.

Oh, I'm waiting for you to say what you can afford to pay so I can give you a list of cars you shouldn't be buying.

This must be one of the most controversial first post ever.

[Blunders]

Read a good article on Lambos and went to browse the comments - but immediately found that I must have strayed on to the Guardian by mistake.

[Unlucky]

Is Lamborghini now simply a purveyor of reheated Volkswagen products?
Who wouldnt want a Miura?
And yes half of Africa is starving and I have five motorcycles and three cars and dont feel guilty about any one of them
Ridiculous really to whinge about the politics/capitalism argument when people buy yachts the size of small countries and helicopters and Lear jets - a Lambo for £165k is small change in many ways.
Didnt Lamborghini also make tractors? Are we too "woke" now to buy a Lambo tractor which helps manufacture food?
No end to this horsest

That was an interesting story (no sarcasm) but, to clarify again, my comments were never aimed at rich people in general; just the disproportionately wealthy at the top end.

I understand.

He started to build and sell PCs from his Uni. Bedroom – M. Dell; Dell Computers.
Holocaust survivor, investor, started from nothing - George Soros
Started from nothing, An ex market trader – AMSTRAD; Alan Martin Sugar.
Sold books on the internet from his garage – Amazon; George Bezos.
Came from no where, Started a Computers company – Apple; Steve Jobs.

All these guys (but Bezos) came from nothing, worked hard and achieved much. Should they be treated differently because they are determined and talented? All if not most of the mega rich are philanthropists helping so many good causes. Why give the money to the government? It will be wasted on projects that inflates in time and cost due to poor planning and skills. I don’t see why success should be punished.

Let them spend as much as they want as they support the income of many ordinary people. Just think what is involved in the production and operation of a bizjet or even a top hyper car.
