On the positive side, huuuge support for the Occupy London Stock Exchange protest

[breadandbutterfly]

Cast your vote too if you wish, or just revel in being, if not 1 of the 99%, at least currently 1 of the 87.5%. :)

Lots of people support charities. Are they all genuine?
Politicians kiss babies on the election trail? Are they all genuine?
Some of it is for image and spin.

Ricky Gervais probably supports charities, but he also twitters disgusting things about children less fortunate than him.

Although despite all his wealth, fame and success, those children are far better people than him, even if they support less charities than he does.

Gervais does not twitter...he twatters.

Lots of people support charities. Are they all genuine?

WTF! if they support charities then they genuinely support charities, you cannot give money to a charity and not be a supporter, giving the money makes you a supporter, do some of them garner publicity from it, yes of course.

Buffet and Gates amongst others have set up a charitable foundation which has given BILLIONS to good causes.

Agree, he is both a twit and a twat

Oh well, if you believe that, then I can see why you believe the Orange Book LibDems

'An Irish aid group coalition has protested against U2's 'tax evasion', claiming that the band are costing the impoverished world while trying to champion its cause'

I don't follow his music etc. Has he been knighted yet?

Oh well, if you believe that, then I can see why you believe the Orange Book LibDems.

OK I will go along with this, what I should not believe precisely, the well recorded facts of Buffet (and Gates) generous support of good causes.
As for the Orange Bookers they lied in the same way as you ?team? lied:

No top down changes to the NHS

Were all in this together

Those that can afford it will bear the brunt of the cuts

No banker in the bailed out banks will get a bonus of more than £25k

I will stop the underhand tactics of the lobbying industry

Plenty of lies by your scum sucking "team" there.

Oh he has. It's an honorary knighthood. We don't have to bow and call him Sir.

newwave, I don;'t care if you think that Buffett and Bono are genuine. There's room for all views.

I don't understand any of this thread.

Do the 99% want some of that wealth? Does sitting outside St Pauls/Wall Street make that happen? God help them if they try this stunt in China. The Chinese authorities know how to deal with peaceful protests unfortunately.

What exactly did the bankers do?

Ricky Gervais I do understand, he used offensive language.

claig, FGS take you pills, you?re losing touch with reality.

You are asking questions and answering them yourself.

Buffet, Bono and even Bozo, if you think they're genuine, that's OK

What exactly did the bankers do?

Are you serious?.

'What exactly did the bankers do?'

I don't know. Buffett and Bono are probably a lot closer to them than me

claig, where did I mention Bono?.

Ok tell me why you think Buffet is not genuine and if he has an ulterior motive what you think it is.

Bloody hell, me defending a billionaire.

'claig, FGS take you pills, you?re losing touch with reality.'

When I saw your name join teh thread, I swallowed teh whole box of pills. I'm losing the will to live.

Newwave yes I am serious.

'Ok tell me why you think Buffet is not genuine and if he has an ulterior motive what you think it is.'

Can't you work anything out for yourself?

What exactly did the bankers do?

You're joking,right? Please tell me you're joking.

crazynannawitchbitch no I'm not joking, I would like to hear exactly what bankers did that was so wrong.

I thank you for your patience.

Can't you work anything out for yourself?

Elucidate me.
