WE HAVE BEEN INTO HOUSES WHERE THE CHILDREN HAD MANY TOYS AND BROUGHT THEM EVEN MORE TOYS, AND IN HOUSES LIKE THIS THE CHILDREN GET PRACTICALLY NOTHING.
âHuh, weâd have given anything to get practically nothing when I was a lad,â said Albert.
BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOUâVE GOT, IS THAT IT?
âThatâs about the size of it, master. A good god line, that. Donât give âem too much and tell âem to be happy with it. Jam tomorrow, see?â
THIS IS WRONG, Death hesitated. I MEANâŚITâS RIGHT TO BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOUâVE GOT. BUT YOUâVE GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT HAVING. THEREâS NO POINT BEING HAPPY ABOUT HAVING NOTHING.
Albert felt a bit out of his depth with this new tide of philosophy. âDunno,â he said. âI suppose peopleâd say theyâve got the moon and the stars and suchlike.â
IâM SURE THEY WOULDNâT BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THE PAPERWORK.
âAll I know is, if Dadâd caught us with a big bag of pricey toys weâd have just got a ding round the ear hole for nicking âem.â
IT ISâŚUNFAIR.
âThatâs life, master.â
BUT IâM NOT.
âI meant, this is how itâs supposed to go, master,â said Albert.
NO. YOU MEAN THIS IS HOW IT GOES. [âŚ] IT IS HOGSWATCH, said Death, AND PEOPLE DIE ON THE STREETS. PEOPLE FEAST BEHIND LIGHTED WINDOWS AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NO HOMES. IS THIS FAIR?
ââWell, of course, thatâs the big issue-â Albert began.
THE PEASANT HAD A HANDFUL OF BEANS, AND THE KING HAD SO MUCH HE WOULD NOT EVEN NOTICE THAT WHICH HE GAVE AWAY. IS THIS FAIR?
âYeah, but if you gave it all to the peasant then in a year or two, heâd be just as snooty as the king-â began Albert, jaundiced observer of human nature.
NAUGHTY AND NICE? said Death. BUT ITâS EASY TO BE NICE IF YOUâRE RICH. IS THIS FAIR?

This is how most of society judges a persons value these days… we’re long past the point of good people being able to rise above mediocrity. Late stage capitalism is all about Fascism and the drive for accumulation of wealth. We’ve created this shit stain of a society, where to succeed in this world you either need to inherit, or step on everyone else to get ahead, those that can’t, or (like me) won’t do that and continue to have now outdated things like morals and self respect are doomed to struggle through life until they inevitably end it.
Might as well teach kids to lie, cheat, and steal, or become accustomed to failure at an early age and start them on the path to a successful future without struggling with the things like guilt that we were raised with.
What show is this?
BBC. Of course.
I just love her so much!

Santa hates poor kids
First one of these I actually laughed at, and I expected the punchline.
Oof
Santa is a politician
Every clip Iâve seen her in she is funny. Great comedian

Heard a good Christmas joke the other day. Why don’t Chinese kids celebrate Christmas?
Because they make the toys.
Sheâs not funny at all
