Grainne, a 52-year-old content editor from London, is passionate about her occupation at a children’s retailer. Although she has always been a supporter of the Labour party, she did not vote in the last election and finds the first past the post voting system to be quite peculiar. Interestingly, Grainne used to work as an art copyist, where she imitated the works of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a renowned German painter from the 1920s.
Marlon, a 65-year-old part-time financial software analyst from London, generally supports the Labour party, but back in the mid-70s, he voted for the Workers Revolutionary party. His reason for this unexpected choice was his strong dislike for the Labour candidate at the time, John Silkin. Marlon’s achievements include captaining a winning team at the British chess championship in the 80s.
When Grainne and Marlon met for a meal, they quickly noticed each other’s unique qualities. Grainne appreciated Marlon’s trendy appearance, including his use of nail varnish, which she approves of on men. Marlon, on the other hand, found Grainne to be erudite and intelligent, and enjoyed her firm handshake. They both appreciated each other’s presence and conversation.
During their meal, Marlon took charge of ordering, displaying his masterful nature. They indulged in a delicious lobster linguine, shared together, which further pleased Grainne. For dessert, they each had half of a tiramisu.
Their discussion turned to more significant matters, revealing their differing views. Marlon expressed his radical perspective that wealth should not be inherited, but if it must, it should be heavily taxed. Grainne, however, mentioned her own experience of being supported by hardworking parents, which influenced her belief in providing the same for her children. They engaged in a thoughtful conversation, acknowledging their differing opinions on inherited wealth and privilege.
Both Grainne and Marlon agreed on the necessity of combating entrenched privilege. They shared a mutual dislike for the monarchy and private schools, suggesting a leaning towards republicanism. Grainne mentioned her growing republican views since the departure of Queen Elizabeth, describing the pomp and pageantry as reminiscent of North Korea. Marlon expressed similar sentiments and the conversation naturally flowed towards their shared disdain for Boris Johnson and their belief in Brexit being a disaster.
Their conversation then delved into the topic of overpopulation, a challenging subject to tackle. Both Grainne and Marlon acknowledged the limited action that can be taken without resorting to despotic measures. Marlon proposed an interesting idea of implementing child limits for wealthy individuals due to their larger carbon footprints. They approached the topic with lightheartedness, demonstrating their ability to discuss contentious matters with humor.
Ultimately, Grainne emphasized her inclination towards “nibbling” at the rich, while Marlon leaned towards more radical ideas of “eating” the rich. However, they agreed that bold ideas and solutions are necessary in today’s world.
Towards the end of their meal, Grainne revealed Marlon’s transition from a vegetarian to a meat-eater, driven by his exposure to the harsh realities of animal husbandry. Coincidentally, Grainne’s husband had also made the same decision decades ago after watching a TV program. They praised ethical meat consumption, although Grainne confessed to occasionally purchasing cheap chickens from Asda, while Marlon admitted doing the same from Sainsbury’s.
Overall, Grainne and Marlon respected each other’s viewpoints and enjoyed a pleasant evening filled with agreement on most topics. They left the meal with a sense of satisfaction and a newfound appreciation for engaging in passionate debates.
