It's more about family love isn't it? And how that transcends acquiring 'stuff'.

The acquisition of "stuff" was the death knell of the traditional working class and i's values. But that taught me that they were no more noble than the classes they then looked up to and later sneered at.

I miss having family.

Not all sneer though. The ones who aren't happy with their lot in life sneer at everything and everyone.
Many are content with what they've achieved and many who haven't acquired a lot don't look for someone to blame.
They just aren't as vociferous.

No, not all are sneering or get their jollies from schadenfreude - but far too many to make for a happy and content country.

That's just media coverage though. People aren't as bad as the Brexit Show is portraying.
But it's still worth fighting them on here.
