The Nasty Side Of British Business Calls Vince Cable A “Socialist”

Adrian Beecroft – The Nasty Side Of British Business

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.

Usury

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.
