DJ Calvert told BBC News NI: “I’ve been let down - and I’m not the only one.”

It was proof that Northern Ireland’s health and social care system had “crashed”, said the 49-year-old.

      Eat the rich and more rich pop up. It takes more than just “let’s get rid of who we think the sole problem is and everything will turn out fine”. The rich didn’t just appear from a vacuum, they’ve accumulated power and wealth for centuries, if not millennia. “Eating the rich” would require vastly more fundamental changes than just grabbing goods from the nearest billionaire and tossing at “the poors”.

        Lol Eat the rich is a euphemism for killing them…not just taking their wealth.

          No. Dine upon the flesh of the rich. Consume their nutrients so that you may absorb their power.

      I’d like to propose for maximum psychological impact they should be literally eaten using whatever gold plated dishware and diamond knives they’ve got laying around.

      Why do we keep saying ‘eat the rich’?

      Just take their wealth and give it to those who need it. It is literally that simple.

      Make them part of the working class. It’s a fate worse than death in their eyes.

          That’s figuratively what eat the rich means.

          The problem is it’s just a phrase. You can keep repeating it ad nauseam, but unless it comes with actual strategies to complete a goal… it’s as meaningless a phrase as all the rhetoric that right-wingers throw around. And they’re much better at it.
