Ray and Ben..no offense but......obviously on the day they taught history at school you pair were absent.

My grandfather was born in the 1880s...he lived through two world wars and saw the depression.....he saw the way the colonial empire invaded countries, stripped wealth and raped and pillaged these countries assets.....he saw first hand the misery of the Glasgow slums....he also saw the extreme luxury some were living in in comparison.....you do not need to be Einstein to realise that something is very wrong with our so called civilised society.....and who to blame.
He taught me to never take sides, or prejudge anyone. He encouraged me to read and to question everything......unlike a lot of people I was encouraged to have a mind of my own.....that is why after much research and my own experiences I am left wing, hate capitalism and its privileged ideology and see religion as corrupt and ignorant.
