On Saturday the left were successful for having a peaceful demonstration against austerity, and for that I congratulate them.
However, please, please get better speakers.
Russell Brand has never worked a day in his life, Charlotte Church has never worked a day in her life, Owen Jones has never worked a day in his life.
All of them are capitalists, they have capitalised on their talents, and it's paid off rather handsomely.
Brand capitalised on his ability to make people laugh, Church capitalised on her ability to sing, and Jones capitalised on the ability to write about others struggles.
They're all rich from the backs of us, without us buying tickets to their shows, books, or even buying a newspaper, they wouldn't be sitting in, let's face it, luxury, they'd be with us, at the bottom, or somewhere in the squeezed middle.
They've never known what it's like to struggle to know how much food they could buy for their families.
They've never known what it's like to run a business, and hope you get paid on time so that you can pay your staff.
They've never had the these stresses, yet they claim they're anti-capitalism, anti-austerity, and pro-redistribution.
Church recently claimed she would quite happily pay 70% tax. When a few people told her she can pay 70% tax, she gave many excuses not too.
Brand has said he'd pay higher tax, once again when it's been pointed out to him he can do so now, he gave excuses not too.
Please, please stop the hypocrisy, start practicing what you're preaching, show us that it works, prove us wrong.
Actions speak louder than words.
