End the postcode lottery

Post by Pstotto » Sun Mar 26, 2017 5:48 pm

See what they did there? They made you get into the phrase 'postcode lottery' to take it out of your mind, or at least to re-direct one's mind in the direction of seeing it as a positive phrase, to cover up geographical inequality in the UK.

The bang on about equality IN ORDER TO COVER IT UP, not to expose it.

Race, gender, sexuality, oh how the politicians love body politics to cover up geographical inequality in the UK and not only that but they make a pre-empitve negative strike against the entire population as a bullying tactic by accusing ALL OF US of being racist, sexist and homophobic, so everyone's too busy in a state of self-questioning to think.

Same with the equal opportunities issue.

I haven't had a go. What's the solution and who would vote for it? For a start off... house prices and land values and council tax and rates, equal, where the price of a property of say, 100 sq M was uniform, wherever. Obviously like everything else, some will be of better quality than others, but the discrepancy is frightening, just as in humans, who will never be equal in a similar manner and yet they bang THAT drum of unobtainable equality, so why not this one, too?

I had a go on the recommendation of a friend. Never won a thing in 2 years and there wasn't a winner anywhere near my area. I have binned it off.
