I don’t think The Sun is trying to convince people to vote Labour, I think they just don’t want to be on the losing side, so that’s why they’re not backing Rishi.

They even say in their piece that they support many of Rishi’s policies. Then they reluctantly say “it is time for Labour”, which sounds to me like a bitter acceptance that Labour will likely win, rather than them encouraging people to vote for Labour.

I’m not trying to justify unlimited greed, nor do I mean that we should permit unlimited greed. I’m saying the opposite of that - I think we should have laws to curtail unlimited greed.

But I do still think greed and selfishness are human nature, because when I look at humans, I consistently see selfishness and greed. Maybe this means I’m a pessimist but I think it’s just realistic. If humans weren’t inherently greedy and selfish then there would be no need for laws that punish theft.

As for whether greed and selfishness have been dominant in human societies… it looks like the rich and powerful in society, throughout history, never gave up their power and wealth unless they were made to do so.

You are wrong. HMD is a Finnish company, not Chinese. Apparently it is largely made up of former Nokia employees.

If you’re going to be a smart-arse and say things like “you’re welcome”, maybe you should check the facts first.

To be fair, he may well have been like that. Humans have been selfish bastards since the dawn of time. And maybe this is why we need good government regulations - because human nature is greed. Any company in a position of power will just leech as much money as they can, if nobody is going to stop them.
