Reference :- Andy Bolt accused lefties of wanting to dismantle the establishment and live in a society with no laws .

Reference :-   Andy claims the climate activists have a hidden agendum ( or possibly several hidden agenda ) to promote socialism  and live in a lawless state .    Something of a contradiction , since  socialist states are far from lawless . Still , the odd contradiction here and there hasn't slowed him down in the past .  And he is not the only one guilty of contradiction once self interest is involved .

 Bugger me dead Andy , I think you got this one the wrong way around . My head is swimming , and Ken junior just won't let up with his ranting .   Ever heard of deregulation ?   That means the removal of laws .  Have you  noticed that the so called "right " is always  advising us of the need to deregulate?   Forever complaining that there are too many laws limiting free enterprise.  You know , stupid regulations about protecting the environment , or paying people a living wage ,  or protecting our health .


 What was it president Reagan said ?    " Government is not the solution to the problem. Government is the problem . "    Well,  the banking deregulation that followed  brought the entire western capitalist system to the brink of collapse , pushed millions of middle class folk into poverty , and sounded the death knell of many american manufacturing cities . But that's the price of freedom , I guess.    The lefties , on the other hand , favour regulations and laws .  They claim laws stop big companies from exploiting us , and protect the environment .   But as you say yourself , so often , where's the evidence ?


 Andy , it saddens me to relate that watching Sky News has turned  Ken junior into  a raving leftie . He tells me I am wrong , and that sometimes big companies do push for more regulations  . In fact , not just sometimes , but often .   Apparently , on occasions they get into quite a flap over the urgent need for more regulations .  He says this happens when they fear competition , and want laws passed to eliminate it . Or want copyright or patent legislation so they can claim sole rights to a life saving drug or a piece of DNA from which a profit can be gleaned .  Or want tariffs on imports , or ludicrously misnamed  " free trade agreements " that have thousands of pages of legislation to protect their profits , and give them the right to sue democratically elected governments .   ( Like ours . ) . Or the right to mine in a national  park .
He says big companies think laws to protect their profits are fine , but laws to protect us or the planet are overregulation
Can you answer the little smart arse Marxist for me Andy ?    Once you are up to speed with all the facts , perhaps you might like to interview Ken junior on your show .  He really gets my goat lately with his annoying anti -capitalism arguments , and I would derive a certain satisfaction from watching you set him straight . 

 Your comrade , Ken .
