Wasn't really to wash your hands as such, rubbing them in your hands got rid of strong odours such as onion and the like.

Still got one somewhere.

Yes I use one after cutting garlic and onions, works well but I don't know any science behind the phenomenon

Even more so I would suggest, and primarily due to the increased generousness of the social welfare system, "come easy, go easy".

So nothing to do with greed; wages for many having dropped over the past 30 years, while super rich people like Bezos amass inconceivable amounts of money?

Although to be fair, we also have an increasingly merciless capitalist system which thrives preying on easy targets.

Pity you left out this bit.

 

Selective quoting is taking a part of what a person says and using it in isolation to portray an entirely different meaning to the message they were initially conveying.

 

You don't work for the BBC or some other mainstream organisation do you?

Apologies, clearly having a brain fart as I didn't clock your second paragraph, even when I removed it from my quote. I'd be terrible at the BBC, don't last long there if you just call everyone bas***** 😂

 

Fwiw, I think the current reliance of many on welfare is more of a symptom of the merciless capitalist system you mention than just millions of people being work shy. The divide is constantly growing and the richer these people get the more disempowered the working classes become. Blaming the poor is just playing into the hands of these pri***.

Apology willingly accepted. 🙂

 

Normally it wouldn't matter so much but in this particular case both sentences had to be taken together to articulate my view accurately.
