Working class warriors? No, middle class spongers and so-called academics

Age hasn't mellowed university graduate Ian Bone - he's full of resentment

Almost all his life has been devoted to waging war on the rich

All the while he has been claiming benefits funded by their taxes

So, what does the bitter graduate think of the cereal cafe protest?

Age has not mellowed university graduate Ian Bone. He may now be a 68-year-old grandfather, but he is full of burning resentment. Almost all his life has been devoted to waging war on the rich while claiming benefits funded by their taxes.

His father was butler to Sir Gerald Coke, grandson of the Earl of Leicester, and the family lived in a bonded cottage on a family estate in Hampshire. Young Ian hated the rich children ‘from the big house’ for calling his father ‘Bone’ and grew up with an abiding contempt for the upper classes.

After finishing a degree in politics from Swansea University, he announced to his horrified parents that his choice of ‘career’ was to be an anarchist, and that he would fund it by claiming the dole.

‘I thought I might as well be unemployed so that I could be a full-time radical revolutionary and the State would pay me to do it,’ he explained later. ‘I never thought about having a job or a career. Jobs and material possessions have never loomed large in my life.’

This guy sounds like a total a-hole. I am sure I could not stop punching his lights out if I lived with him.

So this Bone person has spent his life attacking capitalism and anything decent and moral while his living expenses are funded by the earnings of folks who work for a living.

Kind of like much of the left in this country. From politicians to academics to “social justice warriors” and democrat voters, they all take and then rail against the hands that are feeding them.

The ant and the grasshopper story comes to mind as to how this all ends.

How does one qualify for "the dole" in England?

It says this guy has never worked in his 68 years.

Do you receive it by simply existing?

And this douche lives in a 330,000 pound house that's paid off?

WTF!

Does the 330,000 pounds include the furniture or just the structure?

My house is paid off but I have no idea how much it weighs.
