The Nasty Side Of British Business Calls Vince Cable A “Socialist”
I agree, “socialist” is a term of abuse. Anyone who can seriously suggest this irrational philosophy as a model on which to run a 21st century economy is at least deluded, if not a saboteur.
Adrian Beecroft, founder of the “Wonga” payday loan company describes Vince Cable as a “socialist” and says he is “not fit for office” in the Daily Telegraph today.
But any sort of abuse coming from a man who runs the disgusting, exploitative, shameful “Wonga” is hypocrisy at its very worst.
Wonga is a despicable business, based on usury and exploitation of poor people. What is does used to be illegal and it still should be. Morally, Beecroft is a criminal both in intent and action.
If he calls the moderate, independent, Dr Cable a “socialist” then I call him a fascist. Those of us who would like to see a modern, inclusive, intelligent Tory party reject out of hand any contribution from this man who represents the very worst, nastiest side of British business.
Adrian Beecroft is a capitalist!

I can’t argue with that. He’s a nasty loan shark type of capitalist

If it set me aside as having different principles than him, I should consider myself honoured to be called a socialist by that predatory loan shark. Cable could have come off much worse by getting the twat’s seal of approval.
3,000,000% APR anyone? Get it while it’s hot.
