      After I watched this I looked up Claude Littner’s email address to thank him for his openness about self-esteem. He very graciously took the time to reply and thank me for writing. Hardly the actions of a sociopath.

      @Redstar Dwight It's a joke. Nobody thinks it is a serious comparison, but it's enough of an unexpected resemblance to be humorous, particularly if you are familiar with his character on The Apprentice. There is a lot of personal and social value in learning to laugh at ourselves. I'm sure Claude would laugh about it too.

    "Labuor want everything for free". Well that's just misinformation. The Tories have a history of low-tax manifestos. You can't fund society if there's not taxation. If we asset-strip our services we have no assets left to manage and therefore less wealth. Which the Tories did. You only have to look at the train service and the Post Office for mismanagement of privatisation. I don't understand his logic at all. Other than that it was interesting. He's a capitalist and would profit from his friends. Of course he's done well in business.

    How scary and sad.
    He devoted his mind and soul his whole life working to make more profit for already wealthy people....then
    espouses classic “old, white, rich man” complaints that workers shouldn’t expect social services.
    Then ends his discussion strongly saying money doesn’t matter ....and the environment and sustainability weren’t
    Important to him.
    Unfortunately, this is why the youth vote is so important. These old guys aren’t going to be around to see the suffering their life’s work caused.

      I agree that his answer to the social inequity question was weak, he doesn't take into account the differences in property prices, wages and inflation since the 1960's and makes somewhat vague and sweeping generalisations. That said, I'm not sure what his age, race or gender have to do with anything?
