The bedrock of socialism

Gorse Fox was reading that great philosopher of our time, Jeremy Clarkson. The article was reviewing one of the great evils of our time, a 4x4. Within the body of this article, GF found the following salutory quote:

"I found a clue recently in a road test of Aston Martin’s DB9. It appeared in The Guardian and it had been written by the red-headed, red-blooded, red-flagged Robin Cook, MP.

Let me give you some of his observations. He said its sheer wanton opulence was “positively repugnant” and that if you want to build a “cohesive, fair society” the Aston is a car you should avoid because it makes you “very nasty indeed”.

You see the problem here. When I look at a man in an Aston Martin I think: “One day I’ll have one of those.” When Cook looks at a man in an Aston Martin he thinks: “One day I’ll have him out of that.”

He’s consumed with jealousy, and jealousy of course is the bedrock of socialism."

GF wishes he could achieve such eloquence in expressing such a self-evident truism.
