Can you point out where I've posted anything remotely "left-wing" in this recent thread ?

I can point out both that you appear to agree with me that Brits are terrible at profiting from our inventions.
And of course you have previously admitted to left-wing bias. And even seem proud of it, bizarrely.

I've said that my politics are just slightly left of centre - though from the content of many of your posts you are so far to the right that even those slightly to the right of centre probably appear left wing to you ( just as you likely see the US democrats as extreme left-wing when most people in the UK or Europe would consider them to be on the right).

And our city institutions are always looking for quick profits and high dividend payments. Plus our politicians (many of whom come from the same public schools) rarely have tech backgrounds - so they are unable to grasp the potential.

I started investing at the tail end of the dot com boom and got my fingers burned with a couple of investments so that's at the back of my mind and I stick with broad based index trackers now.
It's easy to be wise with the benefit of hindsight, but it takes real insight to sift the wheat from the chaff because there's always lots of contenders for the next big thing.

To describe the UK as being 'no good at making money at it' is a little simplistic to put it mildly.

The Overton Window has certainly moved if ursa considers themselves just slightly left wing while Lootman is considered very far to the right.

All main political parties are (in my book) socialist and left leaning to varying degrees, so anyone who as much as whispers that perhaps taxes and expenditure need only a miniscule reduction is going to be called a raving right-wing fascist zealot.
